Well, I'm not sure how I feel about the book. (I'm not saying I didn't like it), I just don't know if I love it like YMG83 does.

Again we have a traumatized female lead, at least this time she wasn't beaten and battered over a long time period. I like the her name Corrine. she has cool superpowers though she kinda gets scary at the end of the book. I like Ilya too hope he doesn't turn out to be bad later. Of course Cori would know if he was (hopefully)

so many unanswered questions, which is typical of a Connie book.

What's the origin of the drug? (nectar of the gods?)
why does it affect everyone different?
what exactly does it do?
how were the bad guys able to replicate it so easily from just blood?
what up with what happened in 1969 and 1986?
how do you grow fully developed clones in such a short time?
What the hell is up with the lizard chameleon she creature at the end?
is this set in the same universe as her other books?

those are just off the top of my head.

Got it on my mind to change my ways, but I don't think I can be anything other than me.

Well you are in luck, this is book one of the RD series … I suspect we will hear more about upcoming releases when Connie has a chance to recover from this month.

There are a lot of things that happened in 1969 & 1986 that could be tied into the story. A couple off hand -

1) The moon landing & the Challenger disaster. (Possibly extraterrestrial.)
2) The nuclear non-proliferation treaty & Chernobyl disaster. (Possibly mutation.)

Please note that these are possibilities not supported by the book … so run with them at your own risk … lol.

I really liked the book also. It is too early to say its my favorite though.

Corinne reminds me of Lissa in a lot of ways -- her humor especially. That adds a lot to the book and makes Corinne seem more personable.
I liked the fact that Corinne faked having no talent for 5 or 6 years.

There is a lot of unanswered questions but it's the start of series. Some of my questions are:

Who was Corinne before she was given the drug? Was she someone important or just happened to be the only one alive and they wanted to know what happened? I think she was more than just the last person alive -- no one knows her original name, even August.

There ends up being a lot of clones in the end. Becker clones, the lizard woman, and Chief of Staff, Hal Prentice. So who is really doing all the cloning? Is the cloning separate from the drug or are they related?

Also, there seems to be a lot of cooperation between the bad guys at this time. The people who are after Ilya want to kill him while the same people are after Corinne. Unless there is only one bad guy.

What does "Cloud Dust' mean? Where did this drug come from?
