Product Description

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.

What a world! 22 Aug 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
This is a beautifully written story of a young man's struggle for survival and understanding in a very alien world.The premise is refreshingly new - well at least to me! - and the author swiftly pulled me into Elei's predicament as the action proceeds at a fast and furious pace. I'm not a young adult but I'm sure this book will be a great hit with those younger than me and also with those of my age. Who can fail to love Elei!

This book combines the best of both SF and fantasy. The setting is a complex and troubled world, where parasites live in strange and fascinating combinations with human life. Elei is a wonderful example of the unsuspecting hero.

Elei's character is real and human, with a need for a sense of belonging and a determination to survive, if only on a combination of spirit and adrenaline. And the author's astonishing knack for turning up the tension brings us to an amazing finale!

I look forward to the upcoming series. Clearly there's a whole lot more in store for Elei and I don't intend to miss out.

Ms Thoma has unleashed her imagination and produced a novel that is different from any other I've read.
The world she's created is terrifying, yet not unbelievable. Parasites play a huge role in our every day lives, and if they fell into the wrong hands, I truly believe they could be put to the same devastating use that is portrayed in Rex Rising (Rex is a parasite, by the way).
Elei, the main character with two opposing parasites within him, captured my heart. He's not the traditional hero, but I was willing him on all the way. The author maintained a fast pace throughout with a nail-biting continuous "will they, won't they?" (escape from the Gultur), "will he, won't he?" (survive the battling parasites within). I was hooked to the very last page. I do hope our Society never ends up like this - I'd hate to live in an all-women's world. And if you wonder how they reproduce, then read Rex Rising.
