Apollo by M. Tasia – Book Review

Summary

Apollo launches M. Tasia’s thrilling new Noah Project series with an unforgettable blend of action, heart, and hard-won hope. Apollo has never known anything beyond the cold walls of a laboratory and the brutal programming of the Noah Group — a shadowy organization that turned him into their perfect weapon. When he finally breaks free, he discovers that survival outside captivity comes with its own haunting cost: the loneliness of being different in a world that fears what it doesn’t understand.

Enter Rocko — a world-weary detective who walked away from a life he no longer recognized. He wasn’t searching for anything, least of all a man with extraordinary abilities and walls built just as high. But something in Apollo’s guarded eyes stops Rocko cold. As the two are drawn together by circumstance and danger, the fight against the Noah Group becomes deeply, undeniably personal. And between the chaos and the close calls, something neither of them planned begins to take root.

Why You Should Read Apollo

  • A Hero Like No Other: Apollo is a deeply compelling protagonist — a man stripped of identity and rebuilt from nothing, learning what it means to feel, to lead, and to trust. His journey is as emotional as it is thrilling.

  • High-Stakes Action: From shadowy labs to desperate escapes, the tension never lets up. The Noah Group is a formidable, chilling adversary, and the stakes feel real on every page.
  • Found Family at Its Finest: Apollo’s band of survivors brings warmth and depth to the story, grounding the sci-fi elements in genuine human (and not-so-human) connection.
  • A Promising Series Opener: M. Tasia lays a rich, expansive foundation here. Fans will be hungry for more the moment they turn the last page.

Final Thoughts

M. Tasia steps boldly into new territory with Apollo, weaving speculative fiction into the heartfelt MM romance storytelling she’s known for. This is a story about more than survival — it’s about reclaiming personhood, finding your people, and learning that hope isn’t a weakness. Apollo is a hero you’ll want to protect and cheer for all at once, and Rocko is exactly the steady, warm presence he — and the reader — needs.

Whether you’re a longtime M. Tasia fan or brand new to her work, Apollo is a gripping, emotionally resonant debut for a series that promises to be something special.
