Book 3 in The Borders War series
He was built to be invincible.
Outside forces come crashing down on a Revolution stronghold, leaving two of their soldiers gravely wounded. Merq’s history with his brothers in arms Simion and Neveed forces him into making decisions that will impact his future with the Revolution.
Merq has always identified as a soldier first. Always known who deserved his loyalty and who didn’t. But with the uncertainty surrounding the leadership of the Revolution, the mysterious disappearance of the jacquerie and increased activity with the PsychHAgs, Merq knows there are few people he can trust.
The only man Merq wants or needs at his side is Armise Darcan. But his reliance on his former enemy may be a miscalculation that will threaten everything Merq stands for.
About S.A. McAuley
I sleep little, read a lot. Happiest in a foreign country. Twitchy when not mentally in motion. My name is Sam, not Sammy, definitely not Samantha. I’m a pretty dark/cynical/jaded person, but I hide that darkness well behind my obsession(s) for shiny objects. I’m the macabre wrapped in irresistible bubble wrap and a glittery pink bow, I suppose.

Powerful,Intense and Emotionally Scorching
By M Marshall
Another ScatteredThoughtsandRogueWords.com review
Rating: 5 stars out of 5
He was built to be invincible.
Merq Grayson and Armise Darcan return to the States, their mission to assassinate the remaining Committee members unfinished. Why? The President of the Revolution is in need of their services to protect the Revolution's most important proponent for freedom, the President himself. But all is not stable within the Revolution's leadership and factions within are looking to supplant the President with another.
When the unthinkable happens and headquarters is breached, relationships, friendships even old rivals are torn asunder. In the wake of the devastation, Merq faces the ultimate of challenges and decisions forced on him by the very people he trusted. Armise, Simion and Neveed. And each with a different and explosive impact on Merq and his future with the Revolution.
When everything and everyone around Merq is falling apart or disappearing, it is only one man, Armise Darcan, that he wants at his side. But Fate or something worse has other plans in store for Merq and Armise. Events are coming that neither man may survive, with or without each other. What happens when the invincible turn out to be anything but invincible?
Powerful, intense and emotionally scorching….those are the words I would use to describe Powerless, the third story in the Borders War series by S.A. McAuley. The complexity of and relationship between these two genetically modified warriors is only exceeded by the intrigue and deceit that McAuley has built into her elaborately layered plot. And it all happens on a world that has been defiled, corrupted by three hundred years of war that has turned its seas into acid and its air into toxic clouds. Powerful world building elements delivered in slivers of descriptions throughout the stories that compiled present a stunning atmosphere of bleakness and despair in which these men live and operate.
With each story, S.A. McAuley offers up more of Merq and Armise's back history. In Powerless. we enter the story in February, Year 2539 Singapore—The Outposts. Merq Grayson is 15 and in the middle of Lim2—Limitation Elimination training needed to become a Peacekeeper. The trials aren't arduous, they are deadly and only the strongest will survive. And although Merq is a teenager in years, he is far older mentally and emotionally. Already he is being stripped of his feelings and his humanity and he is aware of it happening. Powerful stuff indeed because as we watch Merq's younger self push himself to his physical limits we also see him internalize and hide his conflicting emotions. And as we read we are already aware of what that boy ultimately becomes…an almost invincible dehumanized soldier for the Revolution.
All of McAuley characters are such densely layered constructs, believable, flawed, even with all their genmod strengths and abilities. They don't know what they are capable of and neither does the reader. It's a gripping process of continual shocks and revelation that flows through all the stories, especially this one. What new discoveries are uncovered concerning their genmods? What new insights into their pasts will surface with each treacherous twist and turn of McAuley's intricate plot? Will they be able to keep enough humanity to save each other and the rest of the world? Stellar questions all even as McAuley miserly doles out clues to the answers.
Merq Grayson is such a compelling and contradictory personality. Although he appears so tough, almost superhuman in the first two stories, Powerless, starts the process of breaking him down into a person who is questioning everything about his life and his role in the Revolution. It's painful and realistic. And the scenes of Merq shattering (emotionally as well as physically) are so vivid that McAuley makes his pain and fall almost visceral in its impact.
Armise Darcan is Merq's equal in every way and he has to be to hold his own as a character and believable partner to such a warrior as Merq. Armise has had as interesting an upbringing as Merq, although in different ways. Both are genetically modified and yet Armise has held on to more of his humanity and ability to love than Merq. How and why that is possible is also slowly coming to the surface in these stories too.
There will be no excerpts here as even the smallest paragraph might point to spoilers. McAuley's narrative is as paired down as the men themselves. At times as stark as the landscape, it is fast paced and explosive as the Borders War reignite with horrible implications for the people we have come to know and the world population that still exists. Some aspects of this story are absolutely chilling and the dread they conjure up for Merq and Armise as well as the future for all nations will be hard to dispel.
Some readers will ask if this is a romance and I am not sure how to answer them. The connection and feelings between Merq and Armise are almost cellular in their need for each other. Love, yes, but at a level and intensity that speaks of blood and loss not flowers and hearts. Romance can't exist in this world and it doesn't. But a hard fought for love? Even if they can't say the word or even know if they trust each other? That you will find here at the core of this story and within the men themselves. The only thing powerless about this book is the title.
One Breath, One Bullet (Borders War #1) and Dominant Predator (Borders War #2) were on my Best of 2013 list. Now I add Powerless to this year's list too. This is an amazing series. And with each new story, S.A. McAuley's plot and her plans for Merq and Armise intensify and become more convoluted. McAuley plans five books for this series. The fourth book, Falling One by One (Borders War #4), will be out later this year. I, for one, can't wait to see how where this talented author will take this series and these incredible characters next.
Cover art by Posh Gosh. Strong cover, although I would wish for a little more of a science fiction feel to it.
Books in the Borders War series in the order they were written and should be read to understand the men and the universe building:
One Breathe, One Bullet (Borders War #1)
Dominant Predator (The Borders War, #2)
Powerless (The Borders War #3)
Falling One by One (The Borders War #4) to be released later on this year
Fifth Book as yet unnamed.

Breathtakingly intense and intriguing
By Jodi Pushkin
My full review of this book is on the Smoocher's Voice blog.
This third book in the Border Wars series is intriguing and intense. In Powerless, S.A. McAuley has taken this series to a new and breathtaking level. In order to really appreciate this book and the intricacy of the plot, the reader needs to read this series in order: One Breath One Bullet, Dominant Predator and Powerless.
It is difficult to review this book without mentioning the rest of the series as each book builds on the previous one. The intensity of the story, characters and angst has built to an incredible climax in Powerless. While the first two books are well written and intense, Powerless presents a more concentrated sense of tension and purpose. This book brings the reader inside the troubled mind of Merq Grayson as he battles his training with his desire for free will.
McAuley has done a wonderful job developing these characters and having them evolve throughout the series. There are no two ways about it. These men are intense, passionate and, at times, unbelievably frustrating. But even when the reader is tempted to give up on one of the men, an expert plot twist or implication thrown into the dialogue reels the reader back.
In this series, McAuley has created a complex, multi-dimension world, where not everything is at it appears to be. The political turmoil and violence are palpable as is the tension and magnetism of the protagonists. The plot twists are surprising and sometimes extreme. Grayson and Darcan are sublime protagonists. Their relationship takes the reader through an emotional roller coaster in each of the books. In biting prose and often uncomfortable dialogue, McAuley has developed these two men who display characteristics of power, strength and vulnerability. The emotional and physical connection between Grayson and Darcan is electric.
Powerless grabs the reader and pulls that reader head first into the vortex of McAuley’s fictional world. In this book, the reader learns more about Grayson’s relationships with Neveed Niaz, the President and PsychHAg. The added information helps the reader understand why Grayson is in so much emotional turmoil throughout the book. Like the other two books in the series, this book is filled with action, violence and, surprisingly, compassion. McAuley is an expert storyteller. Her prose is dynamic and realistic. This must-read book (and series) is passionate in every sense of the word.

Really liked this book!
By kara
This book was another really good addition to this series!
We get more of this amazing world and characters this author has created in this book. But I have to be honest a say there were a few parts in this book that did drag a little bit for me and I can not say I was a huge fan of what Armise does in this book either.
You do get a lot of action with this book and more of these two men together but not as much as the previous books in this series. There was so much that Merq has to go through in this book and then finding out what Armise did I really felt so bad for his character.
But overlooking those few parts I have to say I did love the gritty aspect to this world and these characters. I actually ended up staying up all night reading the first three books in this series because I could not put them down and once I finished one I had to know what happened next lol.
So I will leave this review with... I really liked this book and would definitely recommend this series!
I received this book free in exchange for an honest review from Inked Rainbow Reads.
