I enjoy a good sci-fi thriller and this audiobook was no different. It is a fast-paced, adventurous, and engaging techno-thriller that kept me listening. I was intrigued to find out how the story wraps up. I also enjoyed the dystopian world setting and the world war scenario. This author was new to me, but I enjoyed the book and am open to reading more from the author. The narrator did an excellent job with the emotions, tension, and grit of this dystopian world.
3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars.

A fast-paced futuristic technothriller, Rogue Sequence has plenty of action to offer. The plot is fairly straightforward with only a few small twists, as super-soldier Ander Rade is enlisted by the Genetic Compliance Department to hunt down one of Rade's former teammates who, it appears, betrayed him years ago. One minor complaint is the similarity of some of the names, e.g. Rade and Moreno, making it somewhat confusing in the audiobook to differentiate between them. The narration by Roger Wayne was decent, except for this small annoyance. Overall, this is a good popcorn thriller to add to your TBR.

I feel like this book had potential but in the slow moving world of audio books, it didn't capture my attention in the first hour or so and so I did not finish.

Fabulous title! I could see it as it happened. I'm not an expert of sci-fi, but I enjoyed the premise of the story. It was believable to me and the action just made it better. I hope there will be another one soon!

Wow! You may need to sit down after reading this one!
Fast paced, lots of action, futuristic dystopian type world at war.
Ander Rade is the MMC. He is a genetically altered FIGHTING MACHINE in the year 2091.
But, when a mission goes off the rails, and he is captured, he spends many years locked up…only being let out to fight til death…
So when a government agency comes to him with an offer at getting out…well, he has to at least think about it…right?
He is paired up with a human, Morgan Moreno, the FMC. Neither of them really WANTS to be working together, but they have to get through this…

Lots of action packed scenes, some twists, and the ending…. 😮😮😮
Well, hopefully this means there will be a book two coming!

I absolutely loved it! It is fast-paced, action-packed, and is well written. The writing combined with the narration really sucks you into this futuristic dystopian world. Zac Topping wrote a fantastic Sci-Fi novel that feels so gritty and well fleshed-out. The amount of world building was perfectly balanced to give the world a lived-in feel while not taking away from the storyline or feeling like it was interrupting the plot. It also feels like a world that could actually happen in our future, which makes the book feel all the more edge-of-your-seat. The narrator did an excellent job of giving feel, emotion, tension, and grit to this dystopian world. The characters were easy to tell apart and the speaking pace, while quick, played into that fast paced action feel. Some listeners may find the speed of reading to be a bit fast, so try 0.75 speed if you need a bit slower. I had the start the book at 0.75 too keep up with the world setting and opening, but then could switch to 1x speed. Otherwise, great book that kept me rivetted and completely hooked. I highly recommend reading or listening to this book. SO GOOD! Best Sci-Fi I have "read" in years.

This book was fast paced & action packed the entire way through. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can’t wait for book 2 (with the way it ended I’m very much hoping / needing a book 2) I would love to explore the landscape of the world a little bit more and see all the things that are going on, especially politically as we did see some in this book. It was pretty fast read, and yet so much happened. I absolutely recommend this title!

Thank you Tor for an ARC & NetGalley for an ALC!
