Summary: Rosen Does It Again
Comment: CHAINS OF FREEDOM is a gripping and entertaining novel about the journey to freedom. It's a story that needs a score card to keep up with who's with whom doing what, with an ending that makes you want to know, "WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?" Selina Rosen definitely makes you want to come back for more.
A riveting read - not one to start late at night when you have to work the next day. This is a lock the doors, don't come up for air until your done kind of read.
Rating: 5
Summary: A reader's book
Comment: Selina Rosen has the gift of story telling. "Chains of Freedom" starts on the run and never stops. The characters are compelling and heroic, but they are tempered with the flaws that we know exist in everyone to a greater or lesser degree. The setting is easily visualized and believable. What I really liked about it was that it was fun to read, fun to go along on the trip, to visit a militaristic future that deserves the grief that it receives at the hands and chain of "RJ". I know it was really good, because once I started I did not want to stop until I finished. And now I want more. Buy it. It's fun. What more could a person want?

Summary: Fun, fast read
Comment: "Chains of Freedom" is a fun, fast read. RJ is a soldier, an Elite, one of the highest caste members of the Reliance; she's now out for vengeance, after the Reliance made her do something she strongly disagreed with (killing non-soldiers for the "greater good" of the Reliance). David Grant is an escaped worker on the run. David's managed to teach himself to read and write, something not many workers manage to do; he's intelligent and has the soul of a fighter.
RJ takes him in, mainly because she trusts him instinctively. As things go on, we find out more about RJ the super-soldier and David the worker-turned-politician, and see what drives them together -- and apart.
It's a very quick read that raises some interesting points amidst the trappings of a more or less standard space opera plot. Basically, why should we trust our leaders? How can we keep absolute power from corrupting absolutely?
And it answers an unusual question -- what would happen if identical twins were raised differently? Would they be the same, or would they be different? And why?
Very interesting ideas are the subtext to an engaging, interesting read. Four stars, recommended.
