The Clone Sedition A Clone Republic Novel Steven L Kent Books

There are some books that you just don't want to put down, The Clone Sedition is not one of those books. This book is impossible to put down, I couldn't have even I wanted to, I was so drawn in and engaged with the story.

The newest installment in the life and times of the last liberator clone, Wayson Harris, takes an entirely new direction from previous books. If you haven't read any of Kent's Clone books, this is probably a good place to jump in. In many ways, The Clone Sedition is a new series set in the same world, and includes familiar and new characters. The previous Harris book, The Clone Redemption, ended the long running story arc of the Avatari and the Unified Authority, making this a fresh start.

Harris is no longer racing across the expanse of the Milky Way trying to save humanity, natural born and synthetic, from annihilation. There is no practical means of leaving the Earth solar system, and he's settled, uncomfortably, into the role of the conquering administrator. When an situation arises on Mars that needs to be handled, Harris is eager to get back into a "leading from the front" position, and takes his marines to the red planet.

The Mars Spaceport is overflowing with refugees who are living in abject squalor. Some have turned to religious fanaticism in hopes of escaping Mars and getting to Earth, where there is more than enough room for them. These most desperate of the desolate see the Enlisted Man's Army as the source of their plight, and try assassinating several clones, including Harris. Their failure is what leads Harris to Mars to try to route out the dissidents. Nothing goes right for Harris after getting to Mars.

I'm not going to talk much about the plot beyond that point. The book is too good, to give any kind of spoilers. That's not to say you'll see what's coming, because you won't. There are a myriad of twists and turns, and they build upon each other to the point that the tension and fear really gets in your head. Kent does a masterful job of weaving an intricate and complex story that keeps you guessing and doubting.

Some points stand out that are worth mentioning. Not since the first book in the series has the fact of Harris' Liberator status really been a central point. Often times being a Liberator and having the intense combat reflex seems like just a tool that he uses and controls. This book throws that out the window, Harris has been through too much, fought too hard over the years, and his combat reflex is starting to take on a life of its own. While not quite addicted to violence, he's walking a thin line, and when the combat reflex kicks in, he revels in it, in a way we haven't seen before. Harris has never been so scary or deadly.

Also we're not in Harris' head this whole time out. We see through the eyes of Admiral Cutter, an old navy clone who has the highest rank in the EME, thanks to Harris. And Travis Watson, a civilian lawyer who Harris has hired to help him with the natural born population of Earth. It's so interesting to see Harris through the eyes of others. Harris knows he's a badass, but it's a fact born of experience, for him it's not something special. He doesn't see that others see him as everything from the most capable deadly sociopath ever to walk, to a living legend that has put everything on the line for his men time and time again.

As a bonus, we learn more about Ray Freeman than was ever previously known. If Harris is a living legend, Freeman is a demigod of badassery.

This book is darker than anything we're use to from Kent, but it's also richer in depth and development. The bar has been raised.

The Clone Sedition A Clone Republic Novel Steven L Kent Books Reviews

Another book in the series. Good for beach reading or decompressing. Certainly was more of the same with a few minor twists.
Unusual twists and turns keep the adventures of Wayson Harris fresh and entertaining. I am very pleased that a sequel to this novel is apparently forthcoming.

I.A. Wilhite, Ph.D.
The Clone Sedition continues the excellent Clone series by Steven L. Kent. It's one of those books that you can't put down and are sad to see it end because it's just that good. I have to force myself to read just a few chapters and then put it down so I can savor what I've just read and to extend the enjoyment of a great book. Do yourself a favor and get the whole series.
Steven l Kent's clone whatever series of novels are among my favorite scifi novels. when i saw another was supposed to be released after the series "ended" i knew i would buy it on release day. i read through it in 2 days and was not disappointed. the narrative continues in an interesting new direction, even as the threads left semi resolved are continued on here. now i hear that there is supposed to be one more book in the series. i cant wait!
Easy read. I could not put it down. Steven L. Kent is doing an excellent job with furthering the genere of Military Sci-Fi. Quality writing. Quality character and plot development. I am now waiting for the next installment.
When I started the first few chapters in the book, I had the suspicion of a formulaic story, which made me put it aside. When I picked it up again a couple months later, I can only say boy, was I wrong. The story does take unexpected twists, making it a page turner. I am able to envision more books in this universe.
I was wondering where this plot would go after the last book. After all the clones had won earth and defeated any left over foes.

But this book takes a great angle and turns the clones to the masters and has them dealing with sedition against them.

The book flows well and the characters are familiar if somewhat peripheral to the plot, but required to breathe a little more life into this series.

A bit lacking in plot resolution, but overall a good read.
