Rogue Clone

Lt. Wayson Harris is one of thousands of clones born and bred to be the ultimate soldiers. But unlike the others, Harris is an outlawed model—one with independent thoughts and an addiction to violence.

Presumed dead after his troops were massacred, Harris—who blames the U.A. for the slaughter—has gone AWOL as a bounty hunter. Still, it’s hard for a clone to overcome his conditioning, and Harris finds himself drawn back into the U.A.'s service by his mentor and creator, Fleet Admiral Bryce Klyber.

Now, with separatists rebelling throughout the galaxy, the fate of the U.A. depends on Admiral Klyber’s plans for the Doctrinaire—the largest, most powerful battleship ever constructed. But there are those who would do anything to stop Klyber, and Harris must decide whether he should fight against them…or work for them.

This book continues the story of Wayson Harris, which began in "The Clone Republic."

At the time of updating this review in January 2009, it is the second in a series of four books, which are:

1) The Clone Republic
2) Rogue Clone
3) The Clone Alliance
4) The Clone Elite

One of the hardest things to write well is a sequel to a book in which the central character spends most of his time trying to uncover a secret and ultimately did so. In the first book in this series, "The Clone Republic" Lieutenant Wayson Harris spent much of the story wondering whether he was a clone and why he has both enemies and friends in high places. By the end of that book Harris has found out what he is. So in this second book, author Steven Kent had to find completely new mysteries for him. This could easily have been a very limp sequel, but it isn't: indeed "Rogue Clone" is probably better than the first book.

If you enjoyed "The Clone Republic" then your going to get drawn into the continuing adventures of Wayson Harris in this rarest of things, a sequel that is even better than the original.

Both the characters and the plot seem to hit their stride in this, the second of Mr. Kent's books.

With touches of subtle humor, and plenty of space battles, this excellent, action packed, adventure leads the reader to a surprise ending (or is it the end?).

Another thriller from Steven Kent. From the start of this sequel to 'The Clone Republic', you are drawn back in to the life of Wayson Harris and his constant internal battle of mixed loyalties combined with action-filled scenes that capture your imagination through to the last page. Kent does another fantastic job in this book of describing a very believable galaxy populated by very real personalities that have something in common with all of us.
