Dewes takes this world next!"-Nalini Singh, New York Times Bestselling author of the Psy-Changeling and Guild Hunter series "Rubicon is non-stop military SF action with plenty of twists.

"-Michael Mammay, author of The Misfit Soldier "A high-octane blend of fast action, fun characters, and deep questions. In Rubicon, not even death can set you free."-Megan O'Keefe, author of the Protectorate series "Departing from her Divide series, Dewes offers a twist on the movie Edge of Tomorrow, with a strong heroine and exciting battle scenes."-Booklist "A fresh and forward-looking story about the costs of "forever" wars and the existential anxiety of artificial intelligence. ...
