I stopped after chapter 1 (6%). I think this will work well for those who lean toward traditional dystopian and a more traditional style of writing. For them, I’m guessing it will be an easy 3-4 stars, with 5 for the right readers.

Thank you to NetGalley and Tor for the ARC.

Rogue Sequence by Zac Topping, just not for me. I tried to get into this book and it simply failed for me. Thank you for giving me a chance with this book and I do think others will enjoy it

Lots of action in this book. Two main characters who do not trust at first. Plenty of tension as the plot unfolds. Good world building with some character development. Looks like the first in a new series as one thing is stopped but plenty more waiting to cause trouble.

I'm actually the author of this book so I can't really review it, but I will say that I'm incredibly proud of it and excited for people to read it. This is an action-packed sci-fi thriller heavily inspired by...well, all the various forms of entertainment I've consumed over the years; from the explosive action movies of the 80's and 90's, to the complex speculative written works of writers like Philip K. Dick, Richard K. Morgan, and Michael Crichton. While the book has all the crunching action one could want (hopefully) from a sci-fi action thriller, it also explores some deeper themes like confronting trauma, understanding the self, and questioning the importance of loyalty and to whom we give it, if given at all. ROGUE SEQUENCE is JACK REACHER meets BLADE RUNNER, and I can't wait for everyone to be able to read it.
