Book Description for Retribution:

In a war-torn galaxy, Jazrene Vallo, the supreme spiritual leader of the Marium Kahnet, is close to fulfilling her divine destiny: refashion the Order as a beacon of light. But her plans for the sisterhood to become the official ambassadors of peace are compromised when she is forced to send mercenaries to capture rogue elements of the sisterhood seeking revenge against those responsible for murdering their families. Failure to capture them will bring an irreversible blemish upon the sisterhood. Unbeknownst to her, it may be too late to stop them.

After fifteen years of methodical planning and burrowing into the highly classified Leviathan project, the cadre of vengeful sisters are ready to execute their mission. Their goal: to destroy the Stadageos, vast military testing and bio-engineering bases where the twisted machinations of fallen creation formed the ungodly fierce races of Leviathans. Their failure will release death and destruction on a scale not experienced since the fall of creation. But even if they succeed, not all of them will survive.

My Review

Retribution is the start of R J Amezcua’s Mantis Force: Marium Kahnet series. This book is far from the genre I usually like to read. However, it is, also, a perfect reason why other readers should try other genres. One may actually enjoy something new. This was the case for me. I thought Retribution was a pretty good read. Because I am not used to the fantasy fiction genre, I did find myself a little lost or confused at times. I did finally catch on half way through. I am interested where the story goes in the rest of the series. 

Retribution has a lot to offer for many readers to enjoy. Such as: mystery and suspense, likeable characters, a lot of action and adventure, and, my favorite, message from a Christian perspective. The plot was great that kept me interested. The book is not very long, so I had no problem having it read in one sitting.

I am giving Retribution three and a half stars. I recommend this story for those who enjoy a good, clean book in the Christian Fantasy Fiction genre. In my opinion, I believe it is definitely worth a read. I am interested in finding out where else R J Amezcua’s imagination will take him to next. It is obvious to me he has great talent and will have no problem releasing more fascinating stories. I look forward to see what happens in the second installment from his Mantis Force: Marium Kahnet series, Decimation. 

I recommend this good book, Retribution.

I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
