6 Harlots: Perseverance of a Nation
The Anti-Freedom Bombing has shaken the Great American Union. But Sinclair lives and the machinations for retaliation are set in motion before the blood has dried in the fields of Battle-Zone 1. The GAU looks outward at the obvious suspects of the attack while mitigating a fomenting threat from within. All the while, a virus has been unleashed that is marching through Empires like a ravenous horde.
Out in Progressium, under the sheltering wings of the Valkyrie defense system, the welcoming facade of Quintana's adoptive home begins to melt away, revealing a vindictiveness and viciousness she had thought she escaped. Barely beginning to enjoy her newfound folk celebrity, she finds herself locked down in her subsidized apartment for fear a different virus—White Supremacy.
Meanwhile, Moon has fled to the northwest pocket of the Second Empire, where she enters into the harem of an Imperian oligarch as obsessed with collecting harlots as he is with directing ballet.
And in the renascent city of Neo-Philadelphia, Razor Jane awakens in a vat of recuperation gel before one of the most powerful businessviros in the GAU. But when she breaks free, she's not entirely herself, not entirely human.

I really liked Ben D'Alessio's book, the sequel of "6 Harlots: Rebirth of a Nation".
Hopefully it's going to be the second chapter of a saga, as more chapters would be well expected.
The book can be appreciated also as a stand-alone, the reader is well placed into D'Alessio's dystopian world and takes part to each character's journey.
Having read the first one, I've been more than glad to find once again some characters and I liked how they evolved from the beginning to the end of the story.
Kudos to the author that envisioned a world and, for the second time, succeeded in putting into words. Not an easy task.

This was the sequel to the first book in the 6 Harlots series.
Somehow, reading this one, I felt slightly more connected to the characters than I had with the first book, and found myself more aware of their personalities. When you are reading a sequel, I think there is always a nice feeling of familiarity, the feeling of being pleased to 'see' those characters again, and see how they develop further. I was happy to see these characters again, and read about their world again. As with the first book, there was some profanity and graphic imagery, but I did find the story entertaining, and I had fun reading about these characters, and the world the author created for them.
