Wren 178 and Callum 22 escaped HARC’s New Austin facility and took with them over a hundred Reboots to the desert reservation where other Reboots are rumored to live.

When they arrive, they are greeted by heavily armed Reboots led by Micah 163. With the arrivals of the escapees, Micah now wants to put his plan of hunting and exterminating all of the humans. Though Wren does not share Callum’s love for the humans, she’s also not interested in killing them all.

Wren and Callum’s relationship is also tested when Wren reconnects with her former trainer, Riley 157, who also escaped to the Reboot reservation and leads the hunting parties. With Micah controlling most of the above 120s, Wren, Callum, and the remaining Austin Reboots are faced with a difficult choice: Stay here and fight against the humans and their loved ones, or attempt to flee the reservation and wander the wilderness. In the end, a confrontation between Reboots is unavoidable, but will Wren and Callum survive it?

Picking up where Reboot ended, Rebel assumes that the reader is familiar with the setting and the characters. Told in alternating chapters from Wren and Callum’s perspective, Rebel concludes this duology.
