This review is based on an Amazon Verified Purchase of "Squad 19 and A Royal Knight - Prequels Volume 1 & 2 (The Tisaian Chronicles)" on Amazon.co.ukI so enjoyed this first of two short prequels to The BioMass Revolution, a book I read and reviewed first. This story delves into the life of Obi Hepe (a revolutionary) and is a very satisfying read, opening up new dimensions to a main character in the story to follow.The origin of a necklace is used to introduce the revolutionary leader of Squad 19 and what he stands for. Obi Hepe is experienced, tough, cares for those under his protection, and is utterly committed to his cause. His story neatly foreshadows a twist in The BioMass Revolution, and although I still feel it should have been foreshadowed at the time, it nicely satisfied my curiosity.This story makes more sense if you read Volume 2: Both together reveal two men on opposing sides who are both likeable and principled, both a leader and a hero. Which man is on the side of right is a matter of perception.
