Action and lots of mystery
I have just finished the third installment, Novum:Rubicon and all I can say is - 'what a fantastic book'. It keeps you guessing from the start - just when you think you know what is going on, Joseph Rhea rips the rug out from under the reader. The ending was completely unexpected - it resolved some of the mysteries put forward in the previous books, but it has opened up even more mysteries that I am looking forward to finding out about when Rhea puts out the fourth installment. Overall, Rhea has created an extremely interesting future world that has many mysteries, has great characters and has an interesting plot-line. My one hang-up is that each installment is so short - I just want more - which I guess is testimony to Joseph Rhea's writing talent. I highly recommend this series to sci-fi fans who like something with adventure, mystery and has a cerebral element.
