Review: Red Star Rebels

Red Star Rebels Red Star Rebels by Amie Kaufman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The United Nations base has an emergency, and everyone evacuates.  Everyone except Hunter and Cleo.  Hunter is rich and entitled … Cleo is snarky and used to living under the radar.  Eventually, they learn that the evacuation was a cover-up for a group that plans to blow up the base.  Neither one wants to die, but they have 8 hours until an imminent explosion.  They don’t want to work together, but they must learn to trust each other if they want to survive. 

Red Star Rebels is a stand-alone science fiction novel with a splash of romance.  Although there is space travel and other sci-fi elements in this story, it is not science-dense and will appeal to a wide reader base.  Kaufman has created two characters that are easy to relate to and a situation that is easy to understand, even if we will not find ourselves on a Mars colony.  A fun sci-fi escape that is also a quick read.
