Respite, Variant - 7: A Dark Genetic Manipulation Romance
Sandra R Neeley
About This BookThings don’t play out in Alliance quite the way they do in the rest of the world. That’s because most of the people in Alliance are not human — they’re Variant. A species of elite soldier forcibly created by the government in an effort to create the perfect warrior, the perfect weapon. Finally liberated, the Variant people live in their own community — Alliance — where they are free to be themselves. Which means their instincts are free to rule. Which instincts? Well, they’re predators, so it could be anything.Law, who’s the face of the Variant, the liaison between all governmental agencies and the Variant people as a whole, is the epitome of reason, calm, control, and dependability. Except for the indisputable manipulation he’s gone to in order to bring his mate to Alliance and keep her there. It’s no wonder she’s mistrusting now, leaving Alliance and Law far behind the first chance she gets. She’s forgotten one thing, though… Law is not human. Now he’s thrown his carefully constructed reputation out the window and has become the hunter, succumbing to the addictive need of having his mate within reach. He will not stop until he finds her and brings her screaming all the way back to Alliance, if that’s what it takes.And then there’s Vicious, cursed to live what remains of his life in a body slowly draining every ounce of his will to live. The scars covering 90% of his body continue to thicken and grow daily making it a painful struggle to even breathe. The only thing keeping him alive is the vague hope that a captive doctor might be able to reverse the damage done to his body. That and the gentle female he’s discovered is his mate. He wants her, needs her, but can’t even touch her, so he constantly pushes her away. She’s tired of feeling like an imposition to the large surly male. He wants to be alone, so that’s how she’ll leave him — alone. He’s about to learn the old adage of ‘be careful what you wish for…’.Both Law and Vicious have drastic changes taking place in their personal lives, not the least of which is their sudden lack of a mate to stand by their sides. Now they’ve got to repair the damage not only to their relationships with their females, but also to their lives as a whole. Will they both be left standing alone when the smoke clears?Their stories will play out in this 7th book about the Variant, but they’re not the only members of the Variant community going through changes. Both old and new favorites will face choices and changes that will affect their lives forever.Warning: This book is intended for mature audiences.

As modern life blinks out in an instant, small-town leader Scott Montgomery witnesses the rapid unraveling of community, turning this narrative into a cornerstone of apocalyptic fiction.Yet as ideals prove difficult to uphold and hostile factions emerge, "Downward Cycle" delves deep into the ethical dilemmas that define the best dystopian books for adults. This dystopian book series contender questions whether ordinary people can avert compromising their humanity when existence hangs in the balance.As violence and starvation threaten to extinguish the last flicker of stability in Harris Springs, the fate of Montgomery’s followers hinges on his capacity to uphold order as savior and guardian of their besieged settlement. Yet disentangling strategic necessity from conscience grows increasingly complex, straining Montgomery as ethical contortions leave him unrecognizable even to himself.

With chilling momentum, Montgomery’s attempts to salvage hope and meaning spiral him toward a final rupturing choice destined to alter the communal future or condemn Harris Springs to history’s dark abyss.What readers are saying about Downward Cycle - The Catalyst Series: Book 1⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "One of the best researched and written novels of an apocalyptic scenario I have had the luck to read. It stands proudly alongside 'Kyla Stone Edge of Collapse series' for its intense narrative and compelling survival themes.” -- Amazon Vine Voice Reviewer⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "The storyline for this post-apocalyptic dystopian world is dramatic, believable, and packed with enough action to keep me glued to the pages late into the night, much like 'A.G. Riddle's Pandemic.'” -Amazon Reviewer⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I really liked this book. If you like thrillers, this will not disappoint. It grabbed my attention immediately, with characters as well developed as those in 'Franklin Horton's Borrowed World.' I’m a fan now. Ready for book 2." -Amazon Reviewer⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “The entire plot was outstanding. Liked it revolving around Scott and his new friends. Hope the dog Solo survives the series. This book could easily be part of 'Kyla Stone's Nuclear Dawn series' for its vivid depiction of survival.” -Amazon Reviewer⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “After reading this book the first word that come to mind is Splendid! Writing of this order is too rarely encountered and even for those who usually avoid post-apocalyptic stories, this one is so well conceived and written that it supersedes genre. It reminds me of the depth found in 'One Second After by William Forstchen.'” -- Grady Harp on San Francisco Review of Books⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Great book. Couldn't put it down. I bought this book because I have read about every post-apocalyptic book series out there, including 'The Silo book series.' I was floored by how this is written. The people come alive, drawing you in. Many shocks, surprises keep you riveted to the page. I highly recommend." -Amazon Reviewer⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “As an author of apocalyptic fiction myself, I had to write a review detailing what an exceptional job of portraying how society could collapse following a large-scale Carrington Event, JK Franks has done. It's as immersive as 'The Cabin at the End of the World,' offering a unique take on the apocalypse. I absolutely loved this first book in the Catalyst series…” Read more
