The Double Helix Series Review
Book 1: Two
men, one face. One man seeks to embrace destiny, the other to escape it.
Danyael
Sabre spent sixteen years clawing out of the ruins of his childhood and finally
has everything he wanted--a career, a home, and a trusted friend. To hold on to
them, he keeps his head down and plays by the rules. An alpha empath, he is
powerful in a world transformed by the Genetic Revolution, yet his experience
has taught him to avoid attention.
When
the perfect human being, Galahad, escapes from Pioneer Laboratories, the
illusory peace between humans and their derivatives--the in vitros, clones, and
mutants--collapses into social upheaval. The abominations, deformed and
distorted mirrors of humanity, created unintentionally in Pioneer Lab's search
for perfection, descend upon Washington, D.C. The first era of the Genetic
Revolution was peaceful. The second is headed for open war.
Although
the genetic future of the human race pivots on Galahad, Danyael does not feel
compelled to get involved and risk his cover of anonymity, until he finds out
that the perfect human being looks just like him.
Book 2: You
can defeat your enemies, but can you defeat your friends?
Danyael
Sabre, an object of desire, would much rather not be. An alpha empath by birth,
a doctor by training, and an empathic healer by calling, he is stalked by the
military that covets his ability to kill, not heal. He finds himself on the run
under the protection of an assassin, Zara Itani.
Bereft
of two days of memories, the more he uncovers of his lost hours, the more he
doubts everything that once anchored him. He knows only that he endangers those
around him and that he is falling in love with Zara, who hates him for reasons
he no longer remembers.
As
forces—both powerful and ruthless—threaten those he cares for, Danyael has only
two options. He can betray his values and abandon the path of the healer, or he
can wait to be betrayed, not by enemies, but by his friends.
Book 3: Don’t
fear the army of genetically engineered perfect killers. Fear the cripple who
leads them.
An
alpha empath, Danyael Sabre is powerful, rare, and coveted, even among the
alpha mutants who dominate the Genetic Revolution. Betrayed by his friends and
abandoned to a life sentence in a maximum-security prison, Danyael receives
freedom and sanctuary from an unlikely quarter—the Mutant Assault Group, an
elite mutant task force within the US military. Physically crippled and
emotionally vulnerable, Danyael succumbs to the warmth of friendships and the
promise of love he finds within their ranks.
Friendship
and love, however, demand his loyalty, and Danyael rises to the challenge of
training and leading the assault group’s genetically modified super soldier
army. The super soldiers are faster and stronger than the military's human
soldiers; their animal instincts spur ferocity and fearlessness in battle. But
who is the perfect weapon—the super soldiers or Danyael, the alpha empath, who
can, with a touch, heal or kill?
Adversaries
swarm, like vultures around carrion; the pawn is once again in play. The
threads of betrayal that sent Danyael to prison spin into a web, ensnaring him.
When a terrorist group strikes Washington, D.C., how far will Danyael go to
defend a government that sent him to prison to die?
My Review
I received a copy of this trilogy in exchange for my honest
review. This was such a great science
fiction series, one that I thoroughly enjoyed.
It was almost nonstop action and lots of suspense as they uncover the
true reason behind creating “the perfect human”. Jade Kerrion made her characters extremely
realistic. So the novels were easy to
get involved in and very difficult to put down.
I loved the fact that although it was similar X-Men, the “powers” were a
realistic possible human development. This
is definitely a 4 star series and worthy read.
About The Author
Jade
Kerrion, author of the award-winning science-fiction/dystopian series, DOUBLE
HELIX, first developed a loyal reader base with her fan fiction series based on
the MMORPG Guild Wars. She was accused of keeping her readers up at night,
distracting them from work, housework, homework, and (far worse), from actually
playing Guild Wars. And then she wondered why just screw up the time management
skills of gamers? Why not aspire to screw everyone else up too? So here she is,
writing books that aspire to keep you from doing anything else useful with your
time. She lives in Fort Lauderdale, Florida with her wonderfully supportive
husband and her two young sons, Saint and Angel, (no, those aren't their real
names, but they are like saints and angels, except when they're not.)
