But it is not entirely his fault, because he also doesn’t have all the puzzle pieces. This is what gets her in trouble with Knox. But despite all her bad previous experiences, she still believes that people are good, that they aren’t always trying to get one over on you and that they can be trusted (within reasonable bounds of logic and commonsense). That’s why she agrees to work with Knox, because he offers her information she cannot say no to. She wants it because moving it around gets her money, and because she can use that money to set up systems to help people in her city get better food and education and healthcare. Nina is interested in information, but not just to hoard it like a dragon. This is the cause for a lot of the conflict between Nina and Knox, along with secrets neither of them is aware of at the beginning of the book. Knox is a planner, and he is less used to thinking outside the box. Part of this is preparation, but the rest is thinking on her feet and thinking outside the box. Nina is a problem solver if you put her in a hard situation, she will figure a way out of it without sacrificing the people she holds dear and get what she originally wanted. Nina is the leader of the mercenary librarians, and their mission is to help all the normal people trying to survive in this dystopian world.

There’s a slight hitch with that plan, which is why they end up collaborating with the mercenary librarians (which the authors described as Murder Ladies in one tweet). On the mercenary side, there’s Knox and his team, who are hiding out from the big bad entity because they refuse to follow orders to kill innocent people anymore. The main characters in this series are broken down into two teams. It is set in a dystopian future on Earth where society has collapsed and is run by dangerous entities with a firm hold on everything, including technology, medical research, and information of any kind. The book deals with several issues that might be uncomfortable for some readers, and the authors have provided content warnings on their site for those issues. This is a wonderful start to what I hope will be a great series. Or they could do the impossible: team up. They could burn down the world, destroying each other in the process… They’re on a deadly collision course, and the passion that flares between them only makes it more dangerous. His squad of supersoldiers went AWOL to avoid slaughtering innocents, and now he’s fighting to survive. Knox is the bitter, battle-weary captain of the Silver Devils. Nina is an information broker with a mission-she and her team of mercenary librarians use their knowledge to save the hopeless in a crumbling America.
