Augment is the fourth of the Singularity prequel short stories that lead into the Legacy Human series. It was exciting and tension-wrought as Miriam works to be chosen for a special task by the secret group that rebels again an enhanced human group who suppress much of what it means to be human in the new world they have created.Miriam is young and gutsy, but she has a goal. I enjoyed the story of her final push, where doubts have their moments, but she feels she really has an ultimate purpose t [...]

a tension filled character based ascension story. very good immersion and reasonable setting. I'm definitely inspired to read her other works.The only thing is that I'm not a fan of her 'humanity first' and derision for the ascenders, but i guess thats a personal preference and I'll see if maybe there is more to it in her singularity world.I found this story in theborg chronicles and its the best so far in terms of having good relates novels

This novella provides more insight into the Ascendance world and more background around the resistance.

Oooooohhhhhhhhh you all need to pick this book up right now except it hasn't come out yet :( Well, then it's the perfect time to start at the beginning of the series, so you can get caught up in time for the publication date! It could, theoretically, be read as a standalone story, but then you would be missing out on all the intricate details that make it so perfect. Mir is the most amazing of characters! She is so fierce! I loved seeing the strength of her convictions, even when she has doubts [...]

This story surprised me in a really good way. I was not expecting to enjoy reading Miriam's tale as much as I did but I found that it was probably my favorite Singularity short story thus far.The ultimate theme here is that there are those who recognize that they can make a difference in the world they live in, find ways to help those that surround them, and they are willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen.What's great about this story is that sometimes doing whatever it takes can me [...]

Miriam Levine is a jiv - a human with augments - and she's fighting to win the Resurrection mod - a brand new augmentation that may very well be the only thing that will keep her alive. Because she's about to throw her life away.Susan Kaye Quinn fleshes out a very passionate Mir, one who is ready to give up her life for what she believes in, one who desperately wants to see change in their community. I loved this short story and wanted to give it 5 stars, but to be honest, I think you'd only rea [...]

Susan Quinn takes you for a ride you wont be forgetting anytime soon. In the stories of singularity each story is a story of its own yet can easily be put together. In this one Miriam needs the new MOD and she is willing to give it everything to get it. Unlike most people born at this time, Miriam was born without legs so she has been used to mods her entire life and never had to really get used to them, they became a part of who she is. Humans are a rarity and if allowed to go without mods they [...]

Humans that are not all humans!! This is an outstanding story about a human girl that has augments. Or enhanced parts added to her body. She is out to win the best enhancement yet. One that is supposedly impossible to win. Susan Kaye Quinn is pushing the envelope again and making you think long after you have finished the story. Don't we already have humans that are augmented? People with artificial arms, legs, internal parts, etc.? This is by far the best short story I have read by Quinn. I lov [...]

This story is very action packed with Miriam out to prove that she's got what it takes to do what no one else has ever done. And what is her real motive? Is she just trying to get back at the ascenders because they would not save her mom when they could have? And will she survive the experiment she was chosen to undergo?Wow! The ending of this one left me wanting more.
