The Korpes Agenda
Something dark is stirring in Korlune, and there’s only one person who sees it; brilliant, but haunted, Master-Tech Nash Korpes.
Freshly escaped from the clutches of Korlune Military Research and Development he finds safety within the ranks of tech giant Harlo-Fyre. On the surface, the future appears bright, but dangerous forces lurk in the periphery. Nash is plagued by self-doubt, unreliable friends and a punishing work schedule that could tip him over the edge.
As the line between friend and foe blurs and friction between Korlune's military factions reach boiling point, Nash is forced to act. Will he ever find peace, or will he be distracted just when he needs to focus?
Note: This is the second book in "The Korpes File Series"

Usually, sequels don't measure up to the original, as the author seems to have poured everything into the original. Not the case here. Not-at-all.
Ms. Rogers has come up with a stunning sequel that is in many ways better than the original. Intrigue abounds, along with a lot of paranoia as Nash Korpes, our main character, returns. He's not your typical hero, but then again, this ain't your typical novel. Often thrust into tricky situations, Nash's intelligence isn't always enough to keep him out of trouble, and he is sometimes at a loss when it comes to trusting people. We all have trust issues, and Korpes is no different.
All I can say is get this book and read it. Highly recommended.

The Korpes Agenda is an epic story of future humanity. Reminds me of the Golden Age of science fiction stories. Authors like Asimov and Clarke covered wide sweeping panoramas of future worlds. In Rogers' story, we learn about conspiracies, rich powerful individuals with dark dreams, and individuals trying to live and love.
This vast sprawling tale is tied together by a focus on Nash Korpes. Nash is a deeply flawed human whom I cared about and anxiously agonized over. Each life event for Nash is a challenge for him, his friends, and his enemies. As a brilliant scientist, he brings an almost unstoppable power into his struggle for survival and justice after he and his loved ones were wronged by the rich and entitled rulers of his world.
This epic has more elements than can be listed in a short review. You will likely enjoy this read if you want to read science fiction that has new technology. You will read about the interactions of different groups and species. It contains power struggles between powerful individuals, groups, and the not so powerful. I would recommend reading the first book first. This second book deals with mostly new topics, but the background of Nash and this society of the future is helpful. If you enjoy science fiction with epic scope and interesting characters you should read this book. I recommend it, and look forward to reading the next one.

WARNING: Contains spoilers for The Korpes File.
I exchanged copies of my books for copies of J.I. Rogers' books when we met up at a local comic con. I've already given a stellar review of the first book in this series, The Korpes File, which sucked me in on the night between the two days of the show when I really needed the sleep.
The Korpes Agenda is, if anything, better than the first book.
We resume contact with our unlikely, probably crazy, certainly brain-injured and PTSD-plagued hero, Nash X. Korpes, after he has escaped the clutches of KMR&D and joined tech giant Halo-Fyre in this cyberpunk dystopian world Tamyrh. KMR&D aren't ready to let him go, and they're spying on him... or are they? We know that Nash suffers from hallucinations and paranoia. It could all be a figment of his imagination.
But Nash hasn't forgotten what happened to the Diasporan population, even though he was not in a position to do anything about it at the time. This time, he has a handful of powerful friends, and they want to protect the Diasporans, and put a stop to their persecution, as much as Nash does. What happens when you combine the skills of a mad genius with a seemingly-unlimited bankroll? Sh*t gets real, that's what happens.
Politics, maneuvering, and evil corporate greed remain as much a part of the situation as they ever were, as powerful people move to counter the chess that Nash is playing. And a tantalizing mystery is revealed. You see, the voices in Nash's head? They may not be hallucinations after all...
But Nash's enemies have even more insidious plans in store, and even he might not be able to defeat them, especially if he self-destructs first.
Warning: this tense thriller gets highly emotional and ends on a cliffhanger. I was crying at the end, and now I really, really need to know what happens next! And Rogers hasn't even finished writing the third book yet! DAMN her!
Again, I cannot recommend this book enough, and I can't wait to see how the series ends!

Overview: When planetary military factions reach a boiling point, brilliant but haunted Master-Technician, Nash Korpes, is finally forced to act.
This exciting, action-packed second chapter in Author J.I. Rogers’ Korpus File Series comes fully-loaded and ready to shock and awe. As startling revelations about jealousy, betrayal, corporate espionage, gambling, and drug addiction come to light, the mass-murder of a tech firm’s board of directors paves the way for a dangerous corporate takeover that suddenly leaves Nash in a position of great power... And readers avidly soaking in every thrill-packed moment.
Rogers’ ability to set up a multitude of scenes and cast her players brilliantly within the spheres of a complex and ever-changing universe is on par with Sci-Fi writers Frank Hebert (Dune), Gene Roddenberry (Star Trek), and George Lucas (Star Wars). The author has created a pantheon of amazing worlds, unforgettable characters, and suspenseful circumstances that range from the radical to the profound.
“The Korpes Agenda” is tied in closely with Rogers’ first book in The Korpes File Series—“The Korpes File”, and I highly recommend these books be read in order. Sci-fi and space opera fans will not be disappointed with this unique and highly memorable series.

Sequels – books as well as movies – often disappoint. It is hard, it seems, to recreate the freshness and the thrill of the original Big Idea. So when a sparkling second book actually betters the first, it is a surprise and a delight.
Rogers’ sequel to The Korpes File is a triumph of plot and intrigue, with deliciously rich characters and stunning landscapes. The central character, Nash Korpes, evolves into a loving and loveable hero, who is both deeply flawed and uniquely gifted. As evil forces circle around him, his foresight and genius look precariously vulnerable. Friends turn to foes and paranoia runs deep as the storm clouds gather.
No spoilers then, just a strong hint: You need to read this book! By the end you will be clamouring for another. I only hope the author is busy writing it… or there could be trouble!

Much anticipated after the first book in the series, this second book definitely didn't disappoint!
I'd already become hugely attached to the fabulous, yet flawed protagonist, Nash X Korpes and as his further adventures unfold, we follow him in a deeper, darker roller coaster of plot and sub-plots.
There is a whole lot more in this second volume. A much richer and more complex story which builds on some of the earlier intrigue and sets up further questions and avenues which no doubt will be explored in a future volume of Nash's story. I'm already looking forward to it.
