Advance Praise
“Nik Korpon’s The Rebellion’s Last Traitor is a mesmerizing mix of post-apocalyptic F/SF, war/adventure, criminals dealing in memories, and black-as-hell noir. It’s full of attitude and atmosphere, and I couldn’t put it down.”
– Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and Disappearance at Devil’s Rock
“The Rebellion’s Last Traitor is an explosive tale of betrayal and revenge in which allegiances prove as dangerous and unreliable as the memories the citizens of Eitan City buy and sell. Korpon crosses genre lines with ease, and imbues this post-apocalyptic tale with the rhythm and immediacy of crime fiction.”
– Chris Holm, Anthony Award-winning author of Red Right Hand and The Killing Kind
“Soldiers and memory. Memory thieves. What you can and can’t recall, what you wish could forget, what you wish you had back. Nik Korpon takes you there and back, in writing as fine as I’ve seen and with a story you’ll remember.”
— Stephen Graham Jones, author of Mongrels
“The Rebellion’s Last Traitor is a delicious dark delight of sci-fi noir, with an atmosphere that virtually drips from every page and an ingenious story that will hook you from the very start.”
— Adam Christopher, author of Made to Kill

Stefan F, Reviewer
The first novel in the Memory Thief science fiction series.
It's an interesting start to a series, with a promising premise: the past has been outlawed and history rewritten. Memory has become a commodity that is traded and coveted like a drug. The story moves at a decent clip, and poses some interesting questions about memory, reality, and so forth. It's quite well-written, although sometimes I found my interest drifting just a bit.
I'd be interested in reading the next book in the series, at some point.
