An outcast of the Eden Academy, physically unfit for military duty, and lacking a civil service assignment, Mairin Shields is going nowhere fast. With little hope of leaving the outer rim of the Milky Way, Mairin agrees to participate in a classified experiment offering her genetic perfection and a chance to see the galaxy. Now, armed with her great-grandfather's military knowledge and combat-refined instincts, Mairin is tasked with leading inexperienced troops in a war against a shadowy enemy using hauntingly familiar tactics. But the first rule of the military is "hurry up and wait," and Mairin learns this firsthand. Without transport to the fight, Mairin spends the downtime on a lush paradise world, getting to know her new body, her imprint, and her heart. Mairin meets Tallenaara, a beautiful Styrahi architect whose mission and past will come to challenge them both. Faced with the most difficult choice of her young life, Mairin Shields can only watch as her world spins out of control.

Runs in the Family Kevin Ikenberry Books Reviews
Good story line. Well developed characters. Lots of action. All around good read. .seven more words required. Going to quit reviewing over this!
Great storyline and fantastic characters! Written with the knowledge of armored combat that only an Armor/Cavalry Officer can bring to the table. Can't wait to read a sequel (hint, hint)!
Well written. Story told using multiple characters and scenes were well connected. The misspellings in the book were an aggravation
Great book! First couple of chapters are a little slow, but then tighten your shoulder harness and lapbelt because this story takes off like a rocket!!! The ending will leave you breathless and wanting more!!! Great job Kevin Ikenberry! Now get to work and get book 2 written!!!! -)
‘Runs In the Family’ is a great story with interesting technology, believable characters, and a fast paced plot. I was hardly able to put the book down. The imprinting technology and Ikenberry’s own military experience brings the future warfare a believable realism and very vivid imagery. Being able to ride along during the development of the main character through her combat experiences makes this a truly stimulating read. Where is Book 2?
I first stumbled across Kevin Ikenberry's work through his novel Peacemaker and short stories in the Four Horsemen universe with Mark Wandrey and Chris Kennedy. Immediately, it was clear that Kevin has a talent for developing unique, engaging characters.
Runs in the Family is no different. The protagonist, Mairin Shields, is offered the opportunity to become more than what she is. Her great-grandfather's memories of military service, skills, and instincts are transferred to her mind. Will it be enough? Will she maintain her own identity in the face of effectively "loading" another one?
Runs In The Family is an interesting take on these questions, personality, and more. I heartily recommend it.
An interesting story of the future after first contact with aliens and how mankind has ended all warfare from its society. After a century of no warfare, war skills are lost, war with conquering aliens is imminent and mankind uses a technological procedure to apply recorded historical soldiers personalities to new soldiers to fight the war.
