Battle Ground #2
False Flag
Ketty Smith is an instructor with the Recruit Training Service, turning sixteen-year-old conscripts into government fighters. She's determined to win the job of lead instructor at Camp Bishop, but the arrival of Bex and her friends brings challenges she's not ready to handle. Running from her own traumatic past, Ketty faces a choice: to make a stand, and expose a government conspiracy, or keep herself safe, and hope she's working for the winning side.
The Battle Ground series is set in a dystopian near-future UK, after Brexit and Scottish independence.
*****
Trapped. Cornered. And all I can feel is the pain. The bullet against my knee.
I crawl between the trees, into the darkness, fighting to get away from the voices on the path.
Survive, Ketty. Live through this. Get out of sight, and away from the guns. Away from the tiny fighters.
I crawl, clenching my teeth against the pain, while the children behind me argue about putting a bullet in my back.
Discipline, determination, backbone. Keep quiet, and keep moving.
Let them go. Protect yourself.
Get through this.

This is the second book in the Battle Ground series and I do think you need to read the first one to get the most out of this book. Again this one was really well written and I loved that it is the same (or very similar) story as in book 1 but told from a different perspective and from someone on the other side of the story.
For me the author has written a thoroughly enjoyable story and it is certainly one that makes you question a few things and gives you plenty of “what ifs” too, especially with the current political climate! It is 4 stars from me for this one, I thought it was a brilliant follow on from book one – highly recommended!!

False flag is the flip side to Battle Ground, book one in the series. Whilst book one was all about Bex, False Flag is Ketty’s story. Ketty and her fellow recruit Jackson were very much the antagonists of book one and I found Ketty’s cruelty hard to reconcile at times, I have to admit I was a little apprehensive of diving into a full Ketty story as I wasn’t sure I would care about her enough as a character because of my established feelings. For the most part I found that the author pulled the character together well, turning her into more of a morally grey personality who you think you might end up wanting to feel sorry for, but ultimately, they take their broken past and turn it into something callous and entitled rather than anything even remotely resembling empathy. This is all clear from book one and it was actually a little chilling at times to learn just how much contempt she holds to those who’s care she is entrusted with. Ketty is a remorseless character, she is ruthlessly ambitious which is also her downfall at times, her inability to see past her “rinse and repeat” style of dream stomping ultimately means she never gives herself the opportunity to learn from her mistakes.
I actually really enjoyed seeing Camp Bishop from the other side and in fact that made it more of an apprehensive read, knowing what was coming and then finding out the awful truth behind each turn. The catalyst event in Battle Ground was quite astonishing from the other side and shows that what we are seeing is just a very small amount of the much bigger picture, a country determined to have martial law no matter the cost, in order to facilitate their agenda. In my review of book one, I touched on the imagination behind the armour and weaponry and whilst I liked that we had a more in depth look at this aspect in False Flag, I absolutely loved the battle field healing tech that we are introduced to which cements the sci-fi edge to this series and I’m really excited to see where this aspect takes us next, as it’s clear that there is no expense to be spared, by whatever government there is, in achieving their ultimate goal.
There were lull moments which I think felt more so because I knew that somewhere out there Bex was doing something more exciting and towards the end the parallel story approach overlapped a little much, but I think that ultimately Ketty just about manages to hold her own in this book. It’s hard because Bex was so refreshing and I really wanted to know where her story went next, but with book 3 on the horizon I don’t have much longer to wait!

To say I liked this book a lot would be an understatement. Having read and thoroughly enjoyed the first book in the series, Battle Ground, and its companion novella, Making Trouble, I was looking forward to reading it but was uncertain if I would enjoy it. I was aware it’s a retelling of events that occurred in the first book from the viewpoint of the antagonist, Ketty Smith, and I’m not usually a fan of different POV books. I tend to think they’re money for old rope, and don’t usually add anything to what the reader already knows or moves the plot along in a series.
This was absolutely not the case with False Flag. Right from the start, it was clear that this book not only added depth and meaning to the original plot but was a book that had to be read in order to understand the underlying politics and dynamics of the military structure. In the first book I had marked Ketty Smith down as being merely a “mean girl”, but in the second book, we are shown that there is so much more to her than that. From her beginnings as a neglected child hungry for self-improvement to a young woman intent on scaling the promotion ladder no matter what it took, Ketty gradually reveals her complex and driven personality.
By the end of the book, I didn’t like Ketty anymore than I did at the beginning, but I understood her. There are motives for her actions and occasionally through the self-serving persona, glimmers of potential for growth are seen. I feel she is at heart a good person who has not yet had a chance to realise it. In her eyes, she is tough and uncompromising, and this is fundamentally true, but there is also a core of integrity to her that I fully believe will come to the fore in future books and maybe divert Ketty from the path she has chosen for herself.
One of the strengths of this series is the characters. Totally human, intensely real, and three dimensional, the author has deftly drawn them in shades of grey to illustrate that no one is ever completely good or bad. We are all a complicated mix of both, and this is very evident in these books. The writing itself is crisp and sparse, suiting the military tone of the book. Flowery prose and overlong descriptions would be as out-of-place in this novel as stilettos on an assault course.
As in Battle Ground, Churcher’s worldbuilding is flawless and all too scarily believable. Looking around at our society today, I can see that only a very few small steps need to be taken for us to be inhabiting her near-future vision of martial law, compromised personal freedom and censorship. It is close, so very close, and maybe this series of books should be seen as a grim warning.

It is essential to read book one first as this book follows the events of the first book from the viewpoint of Bex’s nemesis, Ketty. At first, I thought I might just be covering the same ground, but no we are taken deeper into the story and learn things of which Bex could not be aware. Ketty and Jackson are the antiheroes of book one and yet here they are at the centre of the story while we are only aware of where Bex and her friends have been. Despite her callousness and her ruthless methods, I have a sneaking sympathy for Ketty and her instinct to survive having escaped her background. I look forward to the return of Bex in the next book though. Highly recommend!

Another really good example of a strong mode of storytelling. Churcher knows how to get into the mind of her characters to deliver a strong narrative! I would recommend reading the first one before embarking on this one!

Loved the backstory of ketty and it made me understand her actions in the first book, loved it can't wait to read the next one!!

Brilliant
Excellent follow up to Battleground in the words of Ketty. Perfectly replayed in her eyes , through her interpretation of this violent dystopian world She’s a character that draws on your pity for her past but is hard to love Yet all her flaws, her ambitions make her an addictive character. Love this series. Now onto book 3

Having loved Battle Ground, I was eager to get my hands on the second book in the series, and False Flag didn’t disappoint.
False Flag presents an interesting premise, essentially revisiting the story told in Battle Ground, but from the perspective of Lead Recruit Ketty Smith. I was fascinated by Rachel Churcher’s decision to separate Bex and Ketty’s stories into their own books rather than simply telling the tale from a dual perspective in one book just alternating chapters. This meant I went into False Flag with a pre-formed opinion of Ketty, and getting to know her properly was a total curve ball.
For Ketty, joining the RTS was a choice, a chance to escape her life, and performing well was an opportunity to make something of herself. As soon as I read about her life before the RTS, I felt more sympathy for her than I had dreamed possible while reading Battle Ground. Knowing more about her and how she has been treated throughout her life make a lot of her actions more understandable, if not entirely acceptable. Whereas in Battle Ground I saw her as ruthless and malicious, in False Flag I began to understand that she is vulnerable and scared, and I was reminded that she is little more than a child herself.
Starting from the same point as Battle Ground and covering a lot of the same events, False Flag really shows that there are two sides to every story. While Bex holds a strong opinion of what she witnessed in Leominster and the behaviour of the senior recruits, in False Flag we see a very different side to their involvement with the situation there. Nothing in this world is black and white, and I loved discovering the other version of what went on. Seeing a different view of the bunker invasion, and of Saunders’ bravery there, added an extra depth to the story and once again I found my opinions shifting.
I am totally hooked on this series, and I cannot wait to see what happens next.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series, so I was looking forward to seeing what happened next. I started reading and thought ‘hang on, this sounds familiar and yet different!’. It is the same timeline as the previous book but from a different perspective and it worked really well for me.
This is a Young Adult dystopian book that is set in the near future, post-Brexit. The series pits ‘terrorists’ against the government, but it is not as basic as that, nothing is black and white in the series.
In False Flag I discovered, as I have mentioned, a similar story to the first book. The timeline and the people are the same, but it is from the perspective of the trainers in the Training Camp. The camps are for 16 year olds recruited from schools, the trainers are basically there to kick the newcomers into shape.
I liked the perspective reversal a lot as it challenged my thoughts that I had built up from the first book. Originally I thought Ketty was a glory hunting bully, and yes while she is a bully there is something more to her. I started to reassess her cold hearted persona and discovered reasons and motives in her.
Reading this book was a retelling of the first and it gives the reader a chance to sit on the proverbial fence and see things from both sides. For a book aimed a YA Readers it gives definite food for thought and is a way to challenge preconceptions and that there is always two sides to a story.
This is again a fast paced book that is full of action conspiracy and has a challenging reader dilemma. I liked the way Kitty his put on the spot on several occasions and has to not only think on her feet, but also think about herself.
Another great read that had me thinking about how I originally saw and thought of the characters. Can’t wait to see what the author has lined up next, or which way she is going to go. It gets a Definitely Recommended from Me.

What can I say about False Flag other than "Ugh?" That's a good thing, though.
False Flag is book two in the Battle Ground series, but this one is told from Ketty's POV. If you haven't read book one, you probably should so the events in this one make more sense.
While a lot of the story/events are the same, they are from a different perspective, which makes it a lot more interesting. Plus, you get more of Ketty's backstory and see what her life was like prior to ending up at Camp Bishop.
Even knowing her struggles, though, I still found her to be an obnoxious power-hungry witch who did awful things because it made her feel good about herself. She's basically a big bully, and even though she believes she's working for the good guys and keeps the recruits safe at times, she's still an awful person.
I found False Flag to be a fascinating read. It was more thought-provoking, seeing how things played out from a different character's perspective. Ketty thinks doing everything the government says to do, including keeping secrets and going behind people's backs, is still the right thing. She believes Bex and her friends are honestly the bad guys (the "terrorists"), and she wants to take them down. Even after seeing what the government has done, her desire for power and a better life keeps her moving forward.
I'm super curious to see what will happen in the rest of the series, and I can't wait for the next book.
4.5 stars from me!

I hopped on this blog tour immediately because I absolutely loved the first book in this series and was so excited to get to this book! I absolutely love that False Flag tells the same story as Battle Ground from someone on the other side’s point of view! Rachel Churcher is fantastic at world building and character crafting. It made it really difficult to decide which side I should be on!
I just gushed for an entire paragraph about this book because I just can’t get enough of this series. I really feel like I’m in the world – which, mind you, is terrifying. This isn’t a place you’d want to be! Terrorism, war, violence, False Flag has it all…but it’s done with such finesse.
I urge you to check this series out if you enjoy this type of story. I don’t think you will be disappointed at all!

After reading book one I was obsessed with this series, but book two has increased that obsessed tenfold. False Flag tells the same story as Battle Ground but from the perspective of someone on the other side; creating this book has shown how much Rachel has put into creating this story & by including both Bex & Ketty’s perspectives she’s made it hard to decide where the reader’s loyalty lies. I cannot wait for the next instalment of this series & desperately want everyone to read it!!

In Battle Ground, the first book of the series, Ketty Smith was Bex Ellman’s nemesis and not a particularly nice person. However, there are two sides to this story.
Instead of following on from book 1, as I expected, this book revisits the same events only this time from Ketty’s point of view.
Although we already know what happened during this timeframe, the shift in viewpoint added depth and showed new aspects of the events.
I now understand Ketty as a person, although because of the ambiguous political backdrop to the story, I’m still unsure which side I should be rooting for!
I am enjoying this fascinating and plausible series and I’m looking forward to reading book 3.

Read book 2 and 3 one after the other. Book 2 was a little harder to read than book one as Ketty is a less sympathetic character and it was covering much the same ground as book 1 from another viewpoint. Book 3 was much better with alternate chapters from Bex and Ketty's viewpoint. This shows that books 1 and 2 would have been much better if combined and as the books were very short that would have made for a more satisfying read. In 3 I got a little more fellow feeling with Ketty. One criticism is that we have a bit too much of Bex being stereotyped with angst and emotion but kick ass at other times.

This book follows the story of Ketty, the antagonist from Battle Ground, the first book in the series. At first, I was unsure whether I would like the book. Ketty doesn't come across as a very nice character in the first book and I wasn't sure that I wanted to get to know here better!
I have to say though that I am really glad I read on. The story from Ketty's perspective takes on a whole new dimension leaving me wanting to read more. The story is morally and politically complicated and will leave the reader clamouring for more!

This second novel adds depth to the already vividly realized dystopia of the first novel. It tells the same story but from the point of way of the antagonist. To be honest I was initially a bit taken aback to find I was reading across the same time-line as the first book but by shifting perspective the story became all the more compelling, and there's no shortage of new elements that, despite knowing the conclusion you are kept interested all of the way through.

I. Hate. Ketty. Enough said.
Just kidding.
False Flag is the same story as Battle Ground, told from Ketty's petty (ha!) point of view. It really gives insight into why she is the way she is, and how blinded by her past she is. Ketty is quite a narcissistic person, and she hates everyone. Well, except Jackson, her kid-beating partner.
You're going to love every bit of this book and hate every bit of its narrator.

This is a fantastic follow-up to Battle Ground. We get the same story from the point of view of Ketty, the first book's antagonist. if you’ve already enjoyed Battle Ground, you definitely want to get Ketty’s side of the story.
And if you haven’t enjoyed Battle Ground yet, you should grab that one too.
Note: I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

An intriguing parallel plot to Book 1 from the point of view of one of the nasties in 'Battle Ground'. At first I felt quite antagonistic towards Ketty but one develops a sort of love/hate relationship with her. It becomes clear however that she is ruthlessly working towards her own ends. Looking foward to see how the plot develops further in Book 3!
