Armageddon

Lena Silverstone and her brother were rescued from starvation and worse by Morris, a man who recalls an earlier time before the world went insane. She has never agreed with her guardian's conspiracy theories involving the government, especially the rumors about unethical, secret "experiments" that involve switching citizens with identical replacements. That is until she witnesses something peculiar revolving around Morris and a gorgeous stranger that stumbles into her life. She fears the worse, meaning that Morris might be involved with rebel factions retaliating against the government. When Lena is imprisoned, she's forced into relying on the mysterious man she is drawn to in order to make it out alive. Dax fights an ongoing battle against forces that would make a lesser man give up. He's also willing to sacrifice himself for his beliefs except he's in it to win. Circumstances convince him that Lena is a clone, so he rejects his feelings, aware of what happens to replicas that are captured by the rebels. No matter how hard he tries to distance himself it proves impossible because the past, present, and future are intertwined. Once again, Ms. O'Connor's draws realistic pictures of a not-too-distant future in Clone Wars: Armageddon. Her writing flows from scene to scene, and I could "see" everything moving in front of me like movies clips. The powers-that-be in this story are formidable, and both Lena and Dax come out swinging every round. Dax is all Alpha male, uncompromisingly dangerous, ruthless, and passionate, as tough to kill as he is sexy. Lena was a pleasant surprise; it was pretty cool to witness her transition, resilience and ability to metaphorically swim in waters infested with rabid sharks. Every moment of this fast-paced novel was well-blended with characters displaying the various aspects of human nature. Clone Wars: Armageddon kept my eyeballs glued to the pages with its high-tech espionage, quicksilver thrills and intense, engaging protagonists. Patrice F. Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

Wow!!!

All I can say is wow! I read this book in one day and I don't even have time like that. Action packed. I just couldn't put it down to save my life. Every page had me wanting more. The story was amazing and oddly believable. I fell in love with the characters (Lena and Dax) and some how felt as though I was part of the story. Yeah...I know that's weird. Putting all jokes aside...there should definitely be a movie made from this story. This will be one that I will read again in the near future.

I WANTED MORE!

My only real complaint about this story is that IT WAS TOO SHORT. I absolutely loved both main characters, Lena a black woman with blue eyes and Dax, her hero, a white rebel fighter. This is a futuristic romance that is part of a series but it can stand alone. Lena becomes embroilled in the revolution to save humanity against a plot to replace humans with clones, after she realized a close friend of hers had been replaced by a clone. Lena herself is imprisoned and tortured in an attempt to find out what she knew about the rebels. She of course is saved by a leader of the rebels Dax, who isn't quite sure if he can trust her because he's not sure if she's a clone or if she's the real Lena. Either way he's falling in love with her. This story is fast paced with lots of twistS and turns, if you enjoy fantasy/sci-fi with a touch of romance you'll love this story. Lena and Dax are the kind of characters that stay with you even after you finish reading the last page.

It's not just a romance!

There's action and drama in this science fiction romance novel. Lena Silverstone's peaceful world is turned upside down when someone close to her suddenly has a change in personality . Rumors that people are being replaced by clones fuel her paranoia until she discovers the truth in the stories. Imprisoned, she must turn to handsome rebel leader, Dax, for aid, but neither player knows who they can really trust. If you like sci fi stories where big brother is always watching and the average gal (or guy) is forced to wake up and go up against the authority in charge, I think you'll love this story. Dax is a rather brutish hero at times, but he is the rebel with the hard knocks past. And the romance takes a while to get going though it gets pretty steamy when they connect. Also in appearance, each person in the couple comes from different races but it becomes less of an issue as the story progresses. For me that was a plus. I would say this is an excellent, gritty scifi story with detailed world building and a really good romance. P.S. The over the top movie ending was just wild!
