If she wins, she’ll have everything she needs to apply for the Offering. The only problem? No one survives that augment.

5.0 out of 5 stars what a person is willing to do to be the perfect subject

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 are kept in a living zoo to allow their DNA to stay pure. This story is one fight for life and what people believe is right, where it takes you may well be the end of it all or the beginning of something so new!!! great story great series!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Intense Prequel to The Legacy Human series
Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2017

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 to sacrifice herself if necessary. The short stories including this one leading into the main part of the series do their job of arousing anticipation. I already love the complex worldbuilding of a futuristic world the author has created.

The four short stories were thought awakening yet augment was my favorite. This story could easily be completed into a full novel and I would purchase it knowing it would reveal a more complete picture of man's future. This is a very good start so complete this novel. This is an enjoyable story.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of those books that every new nurse should read
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2016

Another useful book for new nurses by Katie Kieber.

All to often new nurses hit the floor and focus solely on the mechanics of being a nurse. No one shows them how to advance in our chosen profession. Kati breaks it down into to pathways. The first one the pathway were you come in and do your job and go home. The second pathway is the one were you grow as nurse.

Katie presents the information in a friendly, factual way giving new nurses a guide to follow in advancing their career. The book is small, and friendly. It can open your eyes to the options you have in front of you.

40 years ago when I started there was no one to get me started down the right path and I wasted many years. Read it, set up a plan and go for it.

Loved it! Very thought provoking - I really do how we hear more from Miriam in the future. Love how the author is developing this series. Such a great topic - what is humanity? How do the mind, body and soul fit together? How much technological tinkering can we do without losing our souls? A great read, highly recommend.

Brilliant. Engaging characters and intriguing situations. I'd be SO pleased if these were worked up to full length or even novellas, because I like to 'get lost' in a good, long story.
