Vigilance (Regina Shen #2) by Lance Erlick -- Book Tour Review +  Author Interview + Giveaway

7/27/2016

About the Book

Picture
After two years of training, outcast Regina Shen prepares to jump the barrier wall into the World Federation to hunt for her sister, but nothing goes according to plan. The Federation condemns Regina and her family to live on the seaward side of barrier walls.

For two years she avoided capture. Now the Federation is desperate to exploit her unique DNA in order to prevent human extinction. She would rather die than help the people who kidnapped her sister. The Federation’s notorious Department of Antiquities, under the command of Chief Inspector Joanne Demarco, polices barrier walls, destroys knowledge from the past, and pursues Regina for her genome. Now Demarco has a ruthless rival who aims to capture Regina as a means to overthrow Demarco.

Regina has survived by her wits on swampy islands and salvage from sunken cities, including illegal print books not available in the Federation. Her photographic (eidetic) memory, access to these books, and an amazing teacher just may help her reach the university town in the Federation where they’re holding her sister. Pursued by Antiquities, Regina jumps the wall into the Federation.

While making new friends and enemies, she must use her wits to avoid letting either of two rival inspectors capture her. Can she rescue her sister from an obvious trap?

About the Author

Picture
He was raised by a roaming aerospace engineer, growing up in various parts of the United States and Europe, as well as traveling through Asia. He took to stories as his anchor, including the works of Asimov, Bradbury, and Heinlein, and has been writing since age eleven.

Growing up, he was inspired by his father’s engineering work on cutting-edge aerospace projects to look to the future.

In an ideal world, Lance would find time loops where he could step out for a week at a time to read and write. Then he would return to the moment he left, without life getting in the way. Of course, since everyone would have the same ability, he suspects life would still sneak in.

Lance is also the author of short stories and novelettes.

Review

The adventure with Regina Shen continues on in book two, Vigilance.  This story is a continuation of book one, Resilience, and will make much more sense if you read book one first.  In this novel, Regina has found a home base with her old school teacher, Mo-Mere, and a few other girls, Wendy and the twins.  Mo-Mere continues to teach all the girls survival skills, as well as other skills she deems necessary.  Also, the patrol-women are still on the search for Regina.  With another storm on the way and the patrol women searching for all the girls that Mo-Mere is housing, she keeps the twins with her, but helps Regina and Wendy escape to the other side of the Wall.  Wendy doesn’t make it and for Regina it is like losing her sister all over again.  But Regina must press forward in the hunt for her sister.  This is another somewhat fast paced story that teens that are fans of science fiction and dystopian fiction will enjoy.
