Jen "Zero"
This prequel has set me up to wanting to read this series. If this is any indication of the strong characters the author started to build I'm all in. I not usually into this genre but wanted to go outside the box. I am truly surprised and want get on to the next page turner.

Code of War is an action packed book with a story line that I have not read before. It really keeps your interest and makes you wonder if this is all fiction or is really possible. All told it was a great read.

Prequel. Not bad. Makes you think what if? Hey Alexa/Siri, feel like unaliving a bad guy today? Don't want to get my nails dirty.
