The Clone Redemption

 (15 customer reviews)

Steven Kent's The Clone Redemption, starts off right where The Clone Empire left off. The Enlisted Man's Navy (EMN) is fighting a war on two fronts: One against a faceless alien incursion set to the destruction of all life in the Milky Way, a war that cannot feasibly be won, only survived. Then reeling from yet another Unified Authority betrayal during the middle of an humanitarian mission, the clones of the EMN know it's now all out war with their natural born creators. Add a race against the clock to evacuate every human off every habitated planet, a task the Unified Authority based on Earth, seems to have abandoned. The clones are up to their synthetic eyeballs with problems and the weight of humanity is on their shoulders.

Also, forgotten by the Milky Way inhabitants, the small fleet from the Japanese nation, complete with a full compliment of the SEALs, (also known as the Adam Boyd clones) sent to Bodes Galaxy three years ago, to find the Avatari home world, has...Read more

The Clone Redemption, by Steven L. Kent is the latest in a series of military sci-fi featuring clones by the millions that form their own empire.

The clones, created to be soldiers and led by clone Wayson Harris, have broken ties with the Unified Authority and Earth. Both empires have colonies spread across the galaxy, but those colonies are being systemically eradicated by a new extra-galactic alien force that completely eliminates all life on the planet after 83 seconds.

The clones in this series are unique from my perspective. Most of them are bred to be distinguishable from real humans. They have muted skin-tones and features that are often repugnant to normal humans. They're bred to serve humanity as a military force: navy, marines, special forces.

Steven has done it again. The Clone Redemption is an extremely fast-paced book. I typically read one book every week (sometimes up to two weeks on a single book) but I finished this one in a little over two days. I simply could not put the book down.

There's action, there's suspense, there's heartbreak, there's intrigue. If you want it, you've got it. Many old friends come back, but there are a few new ones thrown in as well. Lots of loose ends are tied up, but it's not the end of the clone saga.

Character development was very strong on this book, but it didn't get in the way of the action. Not only does Harris put on a good show, but the Boyd clones nearly steal the show.

Steven -- keep on writing them and I'll keep on reading them.
