Face to face, and rifle to rifle. The time and location change, but never the circumstance. Merq Grayson and Armise Darcan are enemies—and neither will be considered successful until the other is dead.,
Merq Grayson has known only war. He is a skilled Peacemaker, soldier, and sniper. And it is his destiny to right the wrong created by his grandfather six generations removed—the man who invented the sonicbullet.
Armise Darcan is his enemy. A sniper and Dark Ops officer who fought for the People’s Republic of Singapore in the Borders War, Armise may be the only person on the planet strong enough to keep Merq from completing his mission.
Their loyalties are to conflicting countries and diverging agendas, and despite the very real threat to their lives if they’re discovered, Merq and Armise keep finding their way into each other’s beds. It is a drive which Merq is sure will kill him one day. But how much time either of them has is questionable. As Opposition is pitted against Revolution, the Borders War reignites, and Merq and Armise have to decide where, and with whom, their real loyalties lie.
(Author note: This contains the complete Borders War series--One Breath, One Bullet, Dominant Predator, Powerless, Falling, One by One, Strength of the Rising Sun, and Sanctuary.)
Sam is a wandering queer romance author who sleeps little and reads a lot. Happiest in a foreign country. Twitchy when not mentally in motion. Her name is Sam, not Sammy, definitely not Samantha. She’s a dark/cynical/jaded person, but hides that darkness well behind her obsession(s) with shiny objects.
I was very impressed by this series. There is a big overall plot that is slowly unraveled to Merq and the reader. It is revealed with surprising twists and turns, without undermining the credibility of the overall plot. Up until the end of the series my thoughts about how the story would evolve, were constantly proven wrong.
The story is set in a brutally crumbling world, in which Merq and Armise have to survive. It contains quite some violence, but I found it fitting in the story and contributing to the development of the characters.
The main characters Merq and Armise evoked all kinds of emotions. At times I got angry with them, annoyed even about the way they acted. Or I had to cry about the sometimes horrible things that happened to them and how their bond was tested. I grew to like them through the series, and at the end I just loved them.
I was captured and lured into the intense storyline and the incredible characters! This series will leave the reader grasping with intense interest and the hope that the story of Merq and Armise never ends!!
