You guys! I really liked Tankborn and I'm so excited that book two has a cover now! And it's gorgeous!
Tankborn, Book 2
Author: Karen Sandler
Expected Publication Date: April 2013?
Publisher: Tu Books
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Once a Chadi sector GEN girl terrified of her first Assignment, Kayla is now a member of the Kinship, a secret organization of GENs, lowborns, and trueborns. Kayla travels on Kinship business, collecting information to further the cause of GEN freedom.
Despite Kayla’s relative freedom, she is still a slave to the trueborn ruling class. She rarely sees trueborn Devak, and any relationship between them is still strictly forbidden.
Kayla longs to be truly free, but other priorities have gotten in the way. A paradoxically deadly new virus has swept through GEN sectors—a disease only GENs catch. And GEN warrens and warehouses are being bombed, with only a scrawled clue: F.H.E. Freedom, Humanity, Equality.
With the virus and the bombings decimating the GEN community, freedom and love are put on the back burner as Kayla and her friends find a way to stop the killing . . . before it’s too late.
LOL I think there is like 10 books with the title The Awakening xD And yet this one is new for me! Sounds really promising! :) I hope you'll enjoy it :)
ReplyDeleteHere is our wow!
Yeah, Awakening is not a unique name in the slightest.
DeleteI didn't hear about this book or author before. Although I don't know how I missed Tankborn - it sounds great. Adding it to my tbr. Great pick! :)

Check out what I am waiting for this Wednesday...
Tankborn's from a small press. I only found it because I used to check NG obsessively!
DeleteI'd never heard of Tankborn before, but the summary had me at Genetically Engineered Non-Humans. That's such an interesting concpept. I'm definitely going to look into this further. Thanks for introducing me to it!

Yay! Glad you'll be checking it out!
DeleteThe cover isn't up on GRs yet, job for a GR librarian! :D
ReplyDeleteI think I added Tankborn after reading your review awhile back.
I added the cover!
DeleteI'm surprised that I haven't heard of Tankborn, as hard as I look for sci-fi novels. *ponders* Yep, going on the ever-lengthening TBR!
ReplyDeleteSmall press! That's why. :)
DeleteDescription here. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up! I added the description here and on GR.
DeleteMy goodness that does sounds like an interesting book. Great pick and Happy Reading! Here is my WoW for this week!
ReplyDeleteI did read Tankborn but I can't remember much about it. Hopefully I'll see some reviews to jog my memory before this one comes out.
ReplyDeleteI'll need to find a spoiler review or reread the ending of Tankborn too.
DeleteThis sounds really interesting. I need to add this to my TBR. Great pick!
