Reviews

"The Rebellion's Last Traitor is a mesmerizing mix of post-apocalyptic F/SF, war/adventure, criminals dealing in memories, and black-as-hell noir. It's full of attitude and atmosphere, and I couldn't put it down."
Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and Disappearance at Devil's Rock

The Rebellions Last Traitoris an explosive tale of betrayal and revenge in which allegiances prove as dangerous and unreliable as the memories the citizens of Eitan City buy and sell. Korpon crosses genre lines with ease, and imbues this post-apocalyptic tale with the rhythm and immediacy of crime fiction.
Chris Holm, Anthony Award-winning author ofRed Right HandandThe Killing Kind

Soldiers and memory. Memory thieves. What you can and cant recall, what you wish could forget, what you wish you had back. Nik Korpon takes you there and back, in writing as fine as Ive seen and with a story youll remember.
Stephen Graham Jones, author ofMongrels

The Rebellions Last Traitoris a delicious dark delight of sci-fi noir, with an atmosphere that virtually drips from every page and an ingenious story that will hook you from the very start.
