Publisher's Summary:

The Rebel is the third and final installment in Gerald Brandt's near-future science fiction San Angeles series.

Kris Merrill is a member of a small insurgent group operating within a multi-level metropolis that stretches from San Francisco to the Mexican border. Her attempt at rescuing Ian Miller failed, leaving her alone and her unborn son without a father. The insurgents don't trust her, Kai has disappeared completely, and Pat is trying to control how Kris should mourn the loss of Ian.

Without the trust of the insurgents, Kris is relegated to low-level assignments for them, and trying desperately to keep her pregnancy a secret. She is alone.

War has started between the corporations. The people living in the lower levels of San Angeles have become the victims, starving and being rounded up to be soldiers in the war. Torn between working with the insurgents as they become more like the corporations they are fighting, and helping the people of the lower levels, Kris doesn't know what to do. Facing the return of an enemy who will stop at nothing to have revenge, Kris struggles with loss and discovering who she really is.

An Ending Abruptus

The Rebel is the third and final installment in author Gerald Brandt's San Angeles trilogy. Set in the year 2141, The Rebel is a cyberpunk, science fiction, action adventure novel with plenty of unexpected twists. Brandt has created a world where large corporations (SoCal, Kadokawa, and IBC) control most of the world's resources and production. Kris Merrill is a residentÂof the sprawling West Coast megapolis known as San Angeles. She's former motorcycle courier who found herselfÂunexpectedly entangled in a deadly web of corporate politics, assassins, and underground rebellions.

It has been 2 weeks since the ending of The Operative and Kris's life hasn't exactly changed for the better. The boy she loved is dead, she's 8 weeks pregnant, two of the corporations are on the brink of a full-scale war, and the insurgents she chose to join, don't fully trust her because she attempted to save someone who was captured by the evil corporations. They've also become rather like those they are fighting against. Instead of helping the lower level citizens who are struggling to feed themselves thanks to the higher levels keeping the best food and water, they're fighting amongst themselves.

I've been calling Kris the protagonist of this series because the story really does revolve around her life as both a courier and now a insurgent intent on taking the large corporations down that control every aspect of life.ÂLet me say this. Kris is a mess. But, she's notÂa Mary Sue character who runs away from trouble at every turn. Thanks to the training she was given at boot camp, she can handle her own against most any challenge that comes to her. However, she spends a whole of time feeling sorry for her situation.ÂShe has no real purpose in this story, until she finally finds one in an Aunt who she ran away from years before, and a mission that is so dangerous, there is no guaranteeÂshe or her baby will survive.Â

One could say that the synopsis does a decent job of explaining the story without fully diving into any spoiler issues.ÂThere are several other secondary characters worth mentioning. The first is Dr.
