Rubicon by J.S. Dewes
4.0
I enjoyed Rubicon even though I did find the last quarter of the story a little frustrating. It’s a story that at its core is centered around topics of existential dread, suicidal ideation, substance abuse, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Rubicon falls somewhere into the genres of Science Fiction, Space Opera, and Military.
The plot follows the journey of an undying soldier who wants to die permanently rather than working out their own psychological trauma and interpersonal relationship problems. It’s a classic trope some may recognize from Science Fiction classics like Armour by John Steakley. It makes for a solid and emotional story when paired with the science fiction genre.
If you have read other books by J.S. Dewes and enjoyed them, then you will undoubtedly enjoy Rubicon. Rubicon is a book I can recommend to anyone who enjoys the space marine science fiction genre.
