Worse yet, by going on the run, he’s endangering his one and only friend Kitty. Rex soon realizes that together they make a vulnerable target.

  • Retaliation

    Marina Epley

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Jan. 4, 2017)
    RETALIATION is the second novel in THE MIND BREAKER trilogy, set in a violent dystopian world where governmental forces wage war against humans with psychic abilities. Against all odds, Rex escapes from an Elimination prison and joins Retaliation, a rebel group consisting of humans with abilities in hypnotism, memory reading and telepathy. Unfortunately, this place turns out a bit different from the sanctuary he dreams about. Half of the rebels are hardened criminals, and the rest are merely children, kids brainwashed into hating and killing any non-breakers they encounter. In Retaliation, Rex decides to try and change things from the inside before the criminals take over, simultaneously looking for a way to capture his hated enemy, Captain Wheeler. But it happens that the captain is always one step ahead, and has been planning an opportunity to destroy Rex. He takes Rex’s mother and sister hostage, demanding Rex to surrender. So Rex now has to figure out how to save his relatives from Wheeler and rescue trapped Retaliation recruits from the hardened criminal element currently taking over the group. The underlying problem is that no matter what he decides, it always seems to be exactly what Elimination wanted him to do. In believing that he is fighting a just war against his enemies, Rex may well happen to be nothing more than a puppet in somebody else’s game.
