Although there was a cure for cancer I had a rare strain that is currently without a cure. Not that my husband and I knew that at the time, but we have since depleted our savings trying to keep me healthy and are at the end of the rope. There is still just enough of a lead left that he can and will hang himself with it, ever the optimist. I won't give in however, and when a man approaches asking me to join a virtual program that will free my husband financially I initially refuse. But, with a promise to never give up looming over my ever-weakening body the choice is made. When my mind is uploaded and my old body gone my memories of home begin to fragment replaced by red and black threads of fighting and military techniques. My promise remains and I will reach the Ten Sigma requirement to make it back home. No matter what stands between me and it.
I received a digital copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. This is one of the books that was originally suggested to me by one of my favorite Indie Authors, Anna Mocikat, and she put the author in touch with me. Of course, I agreed without hesitation. I have no regrets on this as I have never regretted any of her suggestions thus far. This is a book that will make you want the next immediately so you can know what happens next!
You either loved the characters or loved to hate them. Sid was awful. But, he was meant to be awful and disliked so he achieved his goals. Brin was adorable and by the time we started calling her Brin we didn't remember what her real name was, if we had known it up until then. I know it now, but I will leave it to you to find out. All part of the fun. I was rooting for Jock and with the purple-eyed girl a part of me hoped death wasn't as permanent in the Ten Sigma program as they made it out to be. But, just another thing for you to find out on your own.
There is definitely a twist at the end that was unexpected. At least I didn't expect it and I enjoyed it completely. Well, not the exact end. A few chapters from the end. It still counts. This was one of my reward chapter books. For anyone that reads my reviews with some frequency you know that I read multiple books at a time and I generally have one book that is my favorite and 4 or 5 that I am just reading because I was asked to. Yes, I still do my best to paint them in as positive a light as I can in my reviews. I know authors work hard on their books, but that doesn't change the fact that I get bored sometimes. So when I read a chapter of the books I am getting through I reward myself with a chapter of the one I really want to read. This book was it for this round.
I am very curious how much time elapsed during this book in the real world considering it was eluded that Ten Sigma's was basically an impossible marker to reach. I hope it is told in later books and I hope I get the opportunity to read on in the future.
