The Regent
She’s back…
The world has not yet begun to recover after the near-disastrous attempt by the Council to place the King in Exile on the throne of Britain. For some, it is a time of grieving—to mourn the millions of people killed in the bioweapon attack. For others, a time for unity—to heal the rifts between neighbors and friends who chose different sides in a nascent civil war that threatened to destroy what was left of America after the invasion.
For Danika Helström, it’s time to go hunting.
Of all the Council operatives responsible for the worldwide death and destruction unleashed by the North Koreans, one woman managed to slip away in the chaos following the attack on Dunkeith Castle.
Now Jayne Renolds has remerged from the shadows, stronger than ever. She wants to take control of what remains of the tattered Council and the next in line to the Pretender’s Throne, a 15-year old boy from Normandy.
For Danika, there’s only one problem: Jayne has all of Reginald’s secrets, all his contacts, all his money—and none of his restraints. She is ruthless, driven, and willing to do anything to succeed. Now she seeks to reform the Council and return it to its former glory, and she doesn’t care who dies along the way—especially if it’s 13, her one-time ally and training partner.
But Danika doesn’t have to fight alone any longer—she’s teamed up with Cooper Braaten, the ex-SEAL who helped bring down the Council. Together, they’ll face off against the most dangerous woman in the world—the Regent.
The Regent is an action-packed continuation of the gritty, post-apocalyptic saga that began with Apache Dawn. The Regent is the fifth main book in the series, and takes place after the events of Oathkeeper.

More of the same
After reading this installment of the series I feel like I just binged on junk food. Lacking any element of plausible reality the story sucks you in until you realize you've already been here. A repetitious misadventure with the hero and heroine being shot, stabbed, beat up, infected, and generally reduced to cripples but still able to function. But of course the mission is not yet complete. The author presumably expects us to return for the next installment where undoubtedly more pain and abuse will befall the main characters, just like in the five previous episodes. I think I've had my fill of empty storytelling and will instead opt for a purging by immersing myself in some classical literature for awhile. I would like to say reading this genre is a guilty pleasure, but right now only feel the guilt.

Favorite
This saga has been one of my favorite apocalyptic book series, probably ever. They're impossible to put down and as long as it took for this one to come out after I finished the 4th book, it was extremely easy to jump back in and I remembered everyone as though I had never put it down. I love the characters and the places they go

Part of a series.
I have read the other books and have enjoyed them all. I didn't think this was as good as some of the others,but still a good book.
