The Right to Revenge: A Post-Apocalyptic Action Adventure is a work of fiction in the science fiction and adventure subgenres which was penned by author Veronica North. The work is best suited to the mature teen and adult reading audiences owing to some explicit content including moderate scenes of a ‘steamy’ sexual nature and violence appropriate to the context. Set in a futuristic world long after a global war has changed the face of our planet, protagonist J lives in a world where three genetic species of humans exist. J doesn’t believe in the new (and sometimes genocidal) laws concerning parts of humanity and she wants her revenge until Captain Gareth Falcon stands in her way.

Author Veronica North delivers a compelling and action-packed take on dystopian science fiction that also has plenty of sensual moments, highly emotive drama, and clever conceptual content to keep readers from all sorts of different backgrounds happy. Whichever part of the myriad of strong influences draws you in, what you’ll find in this novel is a perfectly balanced blend of clever plot twists, interesting exposition, and fascinating character arcs. One thing I especially admired about the work was that every single character, even the primary villain, is shaped realistically with well thought out motivations and strong reasoning for being on their side of the conflict. This makes for some complex and challenging moments for J and the choices she has to make, which makes The Right to Revenge one of those books that grips you with its adventure but also sinks deep into your heart.

The Right To Revenge is the latest science fiction novel from Veronica North, aimed at mature readers. This was a brilliant read that I hope will be the first installment in a long series as the world that the author has built is well designed and very exciting. Set in a vision of Earth’s future in which humans have evolved in three separate directions, one of the new variants faces the threat of extinction after being mercilessly hunted by the cleaners. This is an engaging and dynamic story that speculates on our future whilst laying out an emotionally devastating parable about the issues of racism and social inequality that plague our world right now.

The lead character J suffers an incredible loss at the start of the novel which sets her on a path for revenge against the people who have hurt her – in particular Captain Falcon who gave the order that led to the deaths of so many. Whilst the action in The Right To Revenge is hectic and breathtaking in terms of its pacing and scope, the core conflict of the book comes from the turmoil that J feels about killing someone. In particular, when the complexity of the issue keeps expanding and the line of responsibility for her pain becomes murkier and murkier. Veronica North’s descriptive writing and characterization are excellent, but the making of this novel is the realistic discussion of responsibility that lies underneath the action and the drama. This is a high-stakes action thriller set in a beautifully considered speculative world, and the questions that it explores could not be more timely.

The Right to Revenge: A Post-Apocalyptic Action Adventure is the first novel in the Right V series by Veronica North. Fueled by anger and the need to avenge the death of her sisters Meryl and Paige, J only lived for this purpose. Being a part of the rebellion was not easy, and J was prepared for the pain. Captain Gareth Falcon had ordered the deaths of her sister, so it only makes sense for her to kill the captain in retaliation. However, it wasn’t that easy, especially considering that Captain Falcon and J shared a past. Before she knew it, the lines were blurred, new information was revealed, and J was more confused than before. Her one task was to kill Falcon, but how could she kill him if he wasn’t the man who ordered Paige and Meryl’s deaths. If not him then who did it?

With action that will put even the Mission Impossible series to shame, The Right to Revenge had my attention from the moment the story opened. The blurb did no justice to the intensity of the story or how incredible it was. The world-building was fantastic, but the real driving force of the story was J and Falcon. The duo had a complicated relationship, but it was filled with passion. I was left wondering if they were simply friends, lovers, or far more than just that. Falcon was a complicated character, and I believe there are many more facets about him that author Veronica North will hopefully explore in the future. I got chills reading the fast-paced plot and enjoyed every second of it. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but this story has a lot more potential than your run-of-the-mill science fiction looking for revenge. Entertaining till the very last sentence!
