About this ebook

“High emotional stakes and an intriguing premise make this first entry in Foster’s new trilogy a solid next read for those who enjoyed Pierce Brown’s Red Rising or Veronica Roth’s Divergent." -- Library Journal

An alternate reality that feels all-too-real, The Rift Uprising is the explosive start to a new trilogy that blurs the line between parallel universes—not to mention YA and adult science fiction—from acclaimed lyricist and storyteller Amy S. Foster.

Normal seventeen-year-old girls go to high school, binge watch TV shows all weekend, and flirt with everyone on the face of the Earth. But Ryn Whitaker is trying to save it.

Ryn is a Citadel. A soldier. A liar. Ryn and her fellow Citadels were specially chosen and trained to guard a Rift—one of fourteen unpredictable tears in the fabric of the universe that serve as doorways to alternate Earths. Unbeknownst to her family, Ryn leaves for school each day and then reports for duty as an elite, cybernetically-altered soldier who can run faster, jump farther, and fight better than a Navy SEAL—which comes in handy when she’s not sure if axe-wielding Vikings or any number of other scared and often dangerous beings come through the Rift. A fine-tuned weapon, Ryn is a picture-perfect Citadel.

But that’s all about to change.

When a young man named Ezra is pulled through the Rift, Ryn finds herself immediately drawn to him, despite her training. What starts as a physical attraction quickly grows deeper, and Ezra’s curiosity throws Ryn off balance when he starts questioning the Rifts, the mysterious organization that oversees them, and the Citadels themselves—questions that lead Ryn to wonder if the lies she’s been telling her family are just the surface of a much bigger lie told to her. As Ryn and Ezra desperately try to get to that truth, they discover that each revelation blurs the line between the villains and the heroes even more.

    Do we really need another teen heroine super soldier battling endless worlds of potential monsters for a corrupt government bureau? Not to mention the high body count and the perfect boyfriend. With cameos by a pastel highlighted unicorn and a wise reptile man you know is meant to be played by Danny Glover.
    If there weren't such a crowed field this might not be a bad book, although the pacing lacks forward momentum, and the understanding of how government agencies work is low for even this genre.

    Ryn Whittaker is working at her job as a Citadel, an enhanced soldier who guards the gateway to other Earths, when a young man, Ezra, comes through. She feels they have an immediate attraction and promises to see him again, but his intelligence and curiosity lead him to discover some things about the ARC and the Rift that no one is supposed to know. It's up to Ryn and Ezra to figure out a plan to stop ARC from sending the Citadels on a suicide mission and destroying all the other Earths.
