When a vicious malcontent known only as “Zodiac” sets off a series of flash
bombs in every major city in America, it quickly brings the shocked and terrified
nation to its knees. For his coup de grâce, Zodiac unleashes the deadly Seekers,
whose brutal brand of swift “justice” is designed to ensure instant enslavement and
the elimination of any remnants of rebellion. In the wake of all the destruction,
Vincent Black, a former vigilante and government super soldier, emerges from
self-imposed exile to thwart Zodiac’s nefarious efforts – but is it too late to save
what’s left of humanity from the deadly dictator’s fatal grasp...?
7 Scorpions: Rebellion is a riveting Sci-Fi/Action tale. Skillfully blending
vividly fashioned characters with breathtaking suspense, author Mike Saxton takes
a highly believable scenario and gives it just enough of a fantastical twist to make
it a compelling page-turner. Though the plot is anything but original, what makes
7 Scorpions: Rebellion stand out is Saxton’s thoroughly unique writing style.
With a seamless mix of humor, drama, and action, Saxton inexorably draws the
reader in to his imaginative world – in which the unfolding of horrific events
doesn’t appear to be too far away from the terroristic realities we could someday
face...
The first of what promises to be a highly entertaining trilogy, 7 Scorpions:
Rebellion is a solid debut that more than holds its own. A recommended read.
