I really enjoyed reading Cloud Dust: RD-1, Connie Suttle's newest book, which happens to be her 30th book!  This book is a departure from her other Vampire/Werewolf, Otherly World  themes.Cloud Dust is set on an earth similar in many ways our present earth and time frame.  Cloud Dust is the tale of a secret US Government bio drug experiment and its effects on the test subjects, those who lived are treated as government property.  Useful for the special powers given by the experimental drug, the survivors of the experiment  are kept under lock and key, with guards night and day.  Each assigned a "handler" and all living under one roof in a compound.  Cori (a heroine with inner courage, a deep conviction of what is right and wrong and a dislike of terrorists ) is one of two women in the group. However she is considered worthless as she has no apparent special powers.  Except Cori has the ability to help save America and maybe the entire world, because she has hidden her powers until they are needed. She also has a snarky sarcastic sense of humor, with the courage to speak her mind and lack of respect for authority.Terrorists get access to the experimental drug and begin killing innocent people by the thousands for their own agenda. Soon Cori becomes the crucial  figure in the fight for life and it falls to Cori and her friends to help save the world and life as they know it.  However, when Cori reveals a power so great it horrifies  even those closest to her she wonders if her own government will kill her.This  book grabs you from the first page and will not let go. It is filled with non stop action, very likable characters and is a definite keeper. Really hope the next book is coming soon as this one is wonderful.
