She is a deadly silent killing machine and following orders of her masters is her second nature. It is supposed to mean she is the toughest cookie in the entire Reboot jar, void of any human feelings and instincts. In this novel you get Wren who is a Reboot that was shot at 12 and then woke up after the staggering 178 minutes of being dead – a kind of grimy record. I have never been a fan of the Beatles, not even after they broke up. Like in that old John Lennon song ‘ All we are saying/Just give peace a chance’. Still sometimes a demon of failed YA dystopias whispers sweetly in my ear that I am being unreasonable, unjust and I should give that genre some chance. If a book is hyped as a next Divergent I normally run for cover and try to find a nice essay by Wittgenstein to soothe my nerves. The perfect soldier is done taking orders. But she has also never felt as alive as she does around Callum.

Wren has never disobeyed before and knows if she does, she’ll be eliminated, too. When Callum refuses to follow an order, Wren is given one last chance to get him in line-or she’ll have to eliminate him. Yet there’s something about him she can’t ignore. His reflexes are too slow, he’s always asking questions, and his ever-present smile is freaking her out. As a 22, Callum Reyes is practically human. Wren’s favorite part of the job is training new Reboots, but her latest newbie is the worst she’s ever seen. Now seventeen years old, she serves as a soldier for HARC (Human Advancement and Repopulation Corporation).

Wren 178 is the deadliest Reboot in the Republic of Texas. The longer Reboots are dead, the less human they are when they return. After 178 minutes she came back as a Reboot: stronger, faster, able to heal, and less emotional. Five years ago, Wren Connolly was shot three times in the chest.
