Customer Review: Satisfying Action
This book picks up where the last (ROGUE CLONE) leaves off. War has broken out and the United Authority’s broadcast system has been destroyed, stranding all non-broadcasting ships in local space–and stranding Wayson Harris and the mercenary Freeman on a back-water planet they are trying to escape from with absolutely no hope whatsoever. But Harris, the only Liberator Clone left alive, is one lucky devil in some respects. People are watching him and sometimes they want him alive instead of dead. This time out he’s in for a lot of action (as usual), but first he’s on what could be a hazardous mission to deliver a message to Earth, then off to try to figure out a way to stymie or defeat the enemy Mogats; on a mission with the deadly Adam Boyd clones, going solo and leading UA marines.
Harris can’t help but aid the UA against the Mogats. He’s a clone and programmed to survive and to follow UA orders. Once again, he’s a pawn–whether leading the way and showing initiative, or not. It’s frustrating for him, but at least he gets a (programmed) rush from all the action. As a reader, it’s a similar situation: there’s action and adventure to satisfy and we don’t worry too much about Harris ignoring his own agenda of revenge against those who have killed his men and his sponsors and his friends and have tried to kill him.
In some ways, this was the most exciting book yet, with a number of different missions and the fate of a world and the war with the Mogats in the balance. Harris is doing what he’s been created for, and he’s good at it. And the ending makes sense, given all that’s come before in this series.
Harris’s world has changed, making things harder and harder for even a simple military clone (something Harris is not). Things look like they will continue to change–and in rather negative ways. Although there are no huge bells and whistles in this fairly standard far-future world, I remain curious about Harris’s fate and will continue to look for any future installments in this series.
