While Rebels Divided is a sequel to The Rebel Within, it was written as a standalone novel. In fact, it was written before its prequel as near term science fiction with young adult protagonists.

In a nutshell: The first time Geo (19) sees Annabelle (19), they meet as enemies and she doesn’t kill him. That counts for something. After the Second American Civil War, a nation remains divided. Coming from enemy camps, Geo and Annabelle must come together to rescue her sister and gain justice for his pa’s murder. Complicating this, the Federal governor and Outland warlord conclude a secret deal, pledging Annabelle in marriage to the warlord and putting a bounty on Geo. While trying to survive and achieve their goals, the pair must struggle with growing feelings for each other despite being sworn enemies.

As one Amazon reviewer noted: “This is not a book about space travel or jaw-dropping technology. Rather, it centers on the consequences of what happens when men & women fail to “get along.””

Another Amazon reviewer called it: “Nicely paced SF novel with more than a few twists to keep the reader wondering. Fine SF novel.”

Kirkus Reviews called it “An action-packed love story with even more twists and turns than its prequel.” They went on to say: “Followers of the series will be more than happy to find Annabelle Scott just as feisty and zealous as she was when last they saw her.”
