So I have a little secret, and it’s that I am working on character research for a potential TV show adaptation of this amazing book 👀 It’s super amazing and exciting and I want to give my quick, spoiler free synopsis and review. Because it’s that amazing. Plus, if you’re like me, when you finish a book or show you just want to talk about it with anyone and everyone haha so here goes.
Revolution is set in the not so distant future a few hundred years from now. Mars has been colonized and is a thriving utopia of commerce and wealth. Technology has allowed for a thriving community to be nestled in the cliffs of the big red planet. It just so happens that this big red rock is about to become independent from earth and the and it has been a long time coming. When a high end political figure gets assassinated all of these plans get derailed and Mars and it’s citizens are put into many difficult situations and decisions. We experience these hardships first hand through the eyes of characters such as military leader Keith Brennan, skilled fleet pilot Jonathan Spalding, talented cadet Lisa Colt, lovable and strong Governer Helena Chu, suave Ed McAron, and determined sleuth Frankie Zoya. Together, through these characters, we watch the horrors that come from an assassination unfold. Conspiracies, tragedies, and truths come to light that are a force to be reckoned with. Will Mars be able to make it out of this mess in one piece? Or will it all come crumbling down when the citizens and military leaders alike learn what’s really going on behind the scenes.
Lolol is that dramatic enough for you?? Ok now for my review!!
I truly believe this book is incredibly written and crafted. Each chapter makes you care about these characters more and more. There isn’t one word or description out of place and it draws you in. There is so much detail to building of this world. The work that went into the research for the technology and military terminology is astounding and made me totally believe we all will be moving to Mars in the year 2030 with a unified military haha. The book made me cry and laugh and everything in between. Each character is truly so intriguing and unique and most of all believable. If you want a book that’s going to make you sit on the edge of your seat and fulfill all of your anxiety dreams, then this is the one for you!
The skill of the author is very evident in this novel and all the years he has put into crafting and telling stories is evident. He also happens to be a director and you really see that through the characters. Overall- I give this book a 10/10 and everyone here should read it!
Tired eyes, endless reading, and love to you.
