BLURB:

 Still recovering at a hospital on the north coast of Dakru, Elei is convinced that his part in bringing down the Gultur is over. Rex has infected the other race and their dictatorial system is starting to collapse. Not every Gultur, though, has been affected, and on top of that, inside Elei's body, Rex has matured and goes through another transformation. Elei isn't sure he can survive Rex's new strength -- but that may prove the last of his worries as the Gultur descend on him again.

 MY REVIEW:

Rex Cresting, the second book in this series by Chrystalla Thoma, continues Elei's battle with the Gultur and his own parasites, Rex and Chronion.

A new character is introduced from Hera's past, which the group of friends are divided between deciding whether she is friend or foe.

Sexual tension builds further between Elei and Hera, but Hera clings to the ways of her people, making it impossible for Elei to act upon his desires. Elei is also unsure whether his parasite 'Rex' is behind his desire and is controlling his feelings for some alternative purpose.






This book is an exciting and fast paced read from beginning to end, as Elei and his friends gather new information and piece together answers to the secrets of their world.

BLURB:

In a world where parasites create new human races, Elei leads a peaceful life — until a mysterious attack on his boss sends him fleeing with a bullet in his side. Pursued for a secret he does not possess and with the fleet at his heels, he has but one thought: to stay alive.

His pursuers aren’t inclined to sit down and talk, although that’s not the end of Elei’s troubles. The two powerful parasites inhabiting his body, at a balance until now, choose this moment to bring him down, leaving Elei with no choice but to trust in people he hardly knows. It won’t be long before he realizes he must find out this deadly secret — a secret that might change the fate of his world and everything he has ever known — or die trying.

MY REVIEW:

Rex Rising is the first installment of Elei's Chronicles by Crystalla Thoma, and is a fast paced sci-fi, telling the story of  Elei, who is running for his life after his boss and mother figure is murdered in an attack, which takes place in front of his eyes.

They story is set in the future where food and water is scarce and a race of women rule society, with a heavy hand.

The people of this world are kept poor and almost destitute, while the ruling race live in luxury.  Unbeknown to Elei, he holds the key to the future of this world as he desperately flees from his persuers.

I found the book a great read and the story quite unique.  I would recommend this book to anyone who likes intrigue, sci-fi and espionage, packed into a mysterious setting.
