Bestsellersworld Gives Five Stars to Sci-Fi Novel 7 Scorpions: Rebellion

Jan. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- Douglas Cobb of Bestsellersworld has given five stars to the first of a new science fiction trilogy, 7 Scorpions: Rebellion. The Sci-Fi action/adventure series, which is based on a four year period of the authors lucid dreams, debuted with its first volume in the summer of 2010 and the second, 7 Scorpions: Revolution, is expected to be released in 2011. Below is excerpted from the review:

"When a tyrannical dictator who calls himself Lord Zodiac makes the world bow down to its knees to him, who can stand against him and his forces’ immense power? How about Vincent Black, a man who represents one of the signs of the zodiac, the scorpion, and who was kidnapped against his will by a government agency and was transformed, becoming super-strong and super- fast? That’s the basic scenario of the edge-of-your-seat, page-turning SF novel, 7 Scorpions: Rebellion, the first in a planned trilogy, by author Mike Saxton.

It’s difficult to imagine anyone standing against the Darth-Vader-like Lord Zodiac, at least not for very long. The Flash Bombs he detonated simultaneously in every major city around the globe was an impressive display of his powers, and the fight was over almost before it started. Then, the Seekers took over, Lord Zodiac’s own immense private army of lobotomized humans controlled by a mechanical spider-looking device implanted in their skulls. They feel no pain nor fear, and carry out whatever orders Zodiac and his generals give them. Also, they send out waves of fear towards anyone who dares to resist them, which is a very intimidating deterrent to rebels attempting to form an alliance.

Still, pockets of rebels do organize in Connecticut (the setting of the novel). Unfortunately for them, the SATs are controlled by Lord Zodiac, and the satellites are able to pinpoint the rebel bases and eliminate them, one by one . . .

7 Scorpions: Rebellion is an exhilarating, high-octane adrenaline rush of a novel that anyone who loves military science fiction owes it to themselves to check out. The unfolding origin tale of Vincent Black was interesting and plausible, though it was reminiscent to movies like Universal Soldier. It was still pretty cool, and Alexis Hera is a good foil for him. For being a human who was not directly involved in Project Scorpion, she is one bad-ass and then some. This is a great start by Mike Saxton, and I hope that the other two novels in his trilogy are as fantastic or more so than this one!"
