No, not the Retrieval Artist series, just the Anniversary Day Saga. Miles Flint and his associates will be back sooner or later.

Masterminds ends the eight volume Anniversary Day Saga. Reading this has been one of the highlights of the year for me. This is the one were everything comes together.  It goes on sale in the next few weeks, so you’ve got time to get caught up if you’re a book or two behind.

Rusch has set herself a major task in trying to tie together all the threads in a coherent manner. I’m not going to go into any detail because I don’t want to give away any of the surprises. But I will tell you a few things.  SPOILERS AHEAD. Continue reading →

As you know (or maybe you don’t know), I’ve been reading KKR’s Anniversary Day Saga and alternating reviews between here and Amazing Stories.

Vigilantes is the eighth book in the ten volume series within a series. It’s kind of an awkward volume to review because everything in the book is a continuation of story arcs begun in earlier books. If you’ve not read them, you won’t follow what I’m saying without my giving in some cases some major spoilers.

I will say this. Early in Vigilantes one of the characters we’ve gotten to know, but probably not love, is brutally murdered. That murder isn’t solved (in a legal sense) before the end of the book, although Bartholomew Nyquist knows who did it. The problem is it takes him away from gathering information about the Peyti Crisis, information gathering that was turning out to be quite productive. Continue reading →

I’ve been reading and reviewing Kris Rusch’s Anniversary Day Saga, with reviews alternating between here and Amazing Stories. Search and Recovery is the fourth volume in the series, so as an even numbered entry, it gets reviewed here.

The previous installment, A Murder of Clones (click here for review), introduced a new set of characters in a different part of the Earth Alliance who are very much a part of the story. Search and Recovery goes back to the days immediately after the Anniversary Day attacks and focuses on two characters, although there are some others who will be familiar if you’ve been keeping up with the story.

As I announced in my last post on this blog, I’m going to be reviewing all of the Anniversary Day Saga titles in order, alternating between here and Amazing Stories.  The even numbered titles will be reviewed here, while the odd numbered titles I’ll review at Amazing Stories.  The first one of those was a few weeks ago.

Blowback is the second novel in the series, and it takes place six months after the events of Anniversary Day.  The residents of the Moon are struggling to put their lives back together amidst the devastation.  Only the actions of Miles Flint, Noelle DeRicci, Bartholomew Nyquist, and other investigators kept the death toll from being higher.

Now these people are trying to trace where the clones came from and who sent them.  Along with the shock and grief that don’t seem to go away is the fear that something like Anniversary Day will happen again.   It’s a fear that’s well-founded, since the only clone captured alive in the previous book said that Anniversary Day was only the beginning.  Continue reading →
