The book sees Donovan Reyes, a Prime Liasion to the aliens in the collaborationist government. The book takes place a century after Earth turns into a colony for an alien race. A war that will determine the fate of all Green Bones.Īnother science fiction novel from Lee is called Exo. When a new drug hits the market, one that lets anyone wield jade’s powers, it will start a civil war on the island. They now live in a world where money and protecting your own is the only thing that matters these days. The Green Bone Warriors have used it to enhance their magical abilities and it has led to the war ending. The book tells of the island of Kekon, where Jade is the lifeblood of the land. Jade City is the book that put Fonda Lee on the map and really kicked off the Green Bone Saga. This review has been corrected a previous version incorrectly stated the title of the author's previous book.If You Like Fonda Lee Books, You’ll Love… Agent: Jim McCarthy, Dystel, Goderich, and Bourret. Things perhaps come a bit too easily to Donovan at times, but the story’s open-ended conclusion begs for further development and exploration. Lee ( Zeroboxer) constructs a plausibly alien future society and uses the premise to offer thought-provoking questions on occupation and colonization, placing her hero in a murky state of morality as she explores divided loyalties and conflicting obligations. Still loyal to the zhree and to his father, Donovan is conflicted determined to preserve peace and lives on both sides, he disobeys orders, questions procedure, and eventually stumbles on terrible hidden truths. When he’s captured by the resistance group Sapience, he’s thrust into unfamiliar and dangerous territory, which grows even more complicated after he discovers a personal connection to one of its members. Seventeen-year-old Donovan Reyes has it all: his father is the “Prime Liaison” between humanity and the alien zhree, who conquered Earth a century ago, and Donovan himself, a technologically enhanced “exo,” is part of SecPac, enforcing the law and dealing with human insurrection.
