Book Reviews of The Clone Alliance (Ace Science Fiction)
Book Review: Best of the series . . . so far
Summary: 5 Stars
Steven L. Kent's "The Clone Alliance," book three of (so far) four, continues the saga of Liberator Clone Wayson Harris, who was last seen at the end of book two, "Rogue Clone," attempting along with his chum and sometime partner Ray Freeman to return to Earth after the breakdown of the "broadcasting" system after an attack by the enemy Mogats, a group of fanatics who have broken away from Earth's "Unified Authority."
The mission, which seems so doomed, succeeds despite itself, and soon Harris (onstage) and Freeman (offstage for awhile) are off on a quest to figure out how to stop the Mogats from overrunning Earth itself. To do this, Harris, now back in the Marines' good graces, attempts locate the world on which 200 million Mogats are deployed. When Harris figures out how that could be done, the fun starts.
There's plenty of action, believable characters, and no wasted words as Harris manages to keep his head, and his life, despite the ever-changing alliances, and Freeman just wants to get paid. Enough issues that were raised in the first two books are resolved here to satisfy readers, and there are enough loose ends that will make them want to grab the fourth, "The Clone Elite."
Notes and asides: This book has a copyright date of 2007, and in an afterword the author tells us he submitted the finished ms. to the publisher in September 2006. It is therefore of note that there is a ship named the "Obama" herein, and reference is made to "Rumsfeld" tanks which, as Harris slyly tells us in the first-person narration, were obsolete before they were ever rolled out.
