Synopsis: Special forces vet, Samantha Jones, is a lowly bodyguard for Ethan Anderson, the biotech billionaire who revolutionized life extension. But at least she’s got a job, unlike most, and won’t have to sell her organs to support her family. Sure, they’re poor, but she’s got death insurance and a roof over her head. Life is livable...
But then Sam’s daughter is kidnapped and sold for parts. Overnight, her life (and belief in the system) shatters. When the rich bastards get off scot-free, Sam’s weak husband commits suicide, and the ex-assassin snaps.
Someone is going to pay.
The question: how to kill the heartless elites that use the poor like livestock and whose security rivals the president. And then there’s the senator fighting to abolish life extension, the trillion-dollar corporate standoff, and bloody protests in the streets as conditions deteriorate. Things are about to get ugly.
Review: For the most part I liked this book. It had a Repo Man vibe and the book was very fast paced. The author also did well with the world building.
However, I did think character development was a bit rushed and that it could have been built a bit better. The main character seemed to only have one personality trait for the majority of the novel, but it did get better towards the end.
Verdict: It's a decent novel. Definitely recommend.
