Rebel Lexis is a Dystopian novelette, that did capture my imagination. At just 118 pages on Kindle, however, I found it way too short for my liking. There simply is not enough opportunity to develop the characters and especially the dystopian world, the story is set in. That having been said, I enjoyed this read very much. The concept, of love between a human and a synthetic human (robot - call it what you will) was too fascinating to allow me to put the book down easily. This was the fascinating aspect of the book, for me.
It was a well-told story and although I'm aware it is part of a series and written to a trend of short, sharp, stories, for those with short attention spans, I still prefer my reads to have a lot more meat on their bones than was evident in Rebel Lexis. We join Jason Bjorn, a spaceship captain for the Polaris Corporation (Which these days rules the world) as he undertakes some very illegal black market smuggling to allow him the lifestyle and DNA upgrades he covets. Caught in the middle of a potential rebellion, Jason and his synthetic partner are soon fighting for their very existence.
This is a gripping, fast-paced story, which had me wanting more. Of course, there was no more to be had in this short book, however, it is fair to say I am intrigued enough by what I read in this book to continue reading about the ongoing adventures of Jason and his beloved SYN, Rebel Lexis. An intriguing read and for dystopian fans who like Science Fiction added to the mix, this may well be the book and the series you've been looking for.
