Revolution is a work of fiction in the science fiction genre and serves as the first book in The Sol Saga. It is aimed at mature readers and was penned by James Fox. The book follows an investigation into the assassination of the most powerful person in the solar system. Led by General Brennan, a man who would rather be in the trenches than playing politics, it doesn’t take long for the investigation to lead to an interplanetary conspiracy that risks propelling the relations between Earth and Mars into a full-scale conflict. Though, as things stand, that may not be too far off anyway.

Author James Fox has delivered a highly engaging science-fiction novel that will have you gripped from the first page right through to its satisfying conclusion.

I felt the book balanced the science-fiction and the fantasy aspects well, which helped to move the story along in an authentic way. Revolution is filled to the brim with action, suspense, and twists and turns you won’t see coming, making it difficult to put the book down from the moment you start reading. The book displays many shifting perspectives throughout the chapter structure, which I felt added depth to the world and story, and helped me to invest emotionally in every character. Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend Revolution to fans of rich science-fiction stories that are filled with action and suspense.

Revolution is the first book in The Sol Saga by James Fox, a cleverly plotted science fiction thriller with a setting in the twenty-third century; a tale of murder, intrigue, and a threat of staggering proportions. Brig. Gen. Keith Brennan of the Protectorate Forces faces the most difficult challenge of his career when the president of the United Nations Interplanetary Council is assassinated.

Revolution is the first book in The Sol Saga by James Fox. Brigadier General Keith Brennan of the Protectorate Forces is a simple man. He hates too-tight clothes and stuffy dinners with officials. However, Keith cannot ignore duty, even if it means schmoozing with people he would rather avoid. He likes it when things are simple, but it is all about to change. The President of the United Nations Interplanetary Council, President Patrick Motwani, is dead, and Keith is the man to find out who killed him and why. And so, Keith starts investigating, and the deeper he looks, the murkier the investigation becomes. He uncovers some big names who will sell him and the entire planet for their gain. It is up to Keith to figure out who the big players are, what they want, and why they are doing it. It sounds easy; it isn’t. A war is about to begin between Earth and Mars unless Keith can stop it.

I am hooked on this story! Keith is the kind of protagonist that makes you crave more and wish the story didn’t end. James Fox has done a phenomenal job of creating a realistic and very charming character. The pace is fast, the narrative runs smoothly, and the descriptions (albeit gory at times) are vivid. I had a thrill rushing through me as I read the first few chapters; after that, I knew I was not putting this novel down until I reached the end in a single sitting. I kept turning pages because I found the plot and Keith, in particular, to be very interesting. While the genre is science fiction, it has enough mystery and humor to make anyone fall in love with Revolution. A perfect, action-packed, and adrenaline-inducing novel. I cannot wait for the next novel in the series. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a fast-paced mystery with a solid plot and an incredible protagonist.
