Children of the Fifth Sun: Rubicon
IT HAS BEEN SEVENTEEN YEARS since the Nine Veils abducted half of Nenets children and their bonded Huahuqui from Antarctica. Despite years of searching by Jonathan Teller and the NSA, no one has heard from the clandestine organization, or the abductees.
KJ Nilsson, the remaining children, and their Huahuqui—collectively known as the Stratum—have grown up in relative safety at Alpha Base in Antarctica. Thanks to the work of Lucy Taylor, now President of the United States, the Stratum are to be recognized as a unique, symbiotic, race and legal citizens of several great nations.
But, things do not go as planned when the Nine Veils come out of hiding—with their own army of Huahuqui—determined to become the most elite power on the planet.
Now, KJ and the Stratum must prove they deserve their new status by defending the citizens of Earth—against their own kind.
Whoever wins, the age of man is over.

I absolutely love Children of the Fifth Sun series. This book is an amazing and rather bittersweet conclusion to this brilliant trilogy. Gareth has an impeccable attention to detail, shining throughout the novel. This has been one of my favorite reads, and I'm a little bit sad that the journey is over.

January 6, 2021On the surface, the third installment in award-winning author Gareth Worthington’s CHILDREN OF THE FIFTH SUN series — RUBICON — is an action-packed, globe-hopping science thriller. But Worthington hopes readers also pick up on the novel’s ominous underlying message.
“Ultimately,” he says, “I’d like people to understand that if we don’t learn from our past, we are doomed to repeat it. In addition, for readers of the whole series, I wanted to convey that we all have an impact on the world and people around us, even after we are dead. So think about your actions now.”
