Sentinels Book 10: Rebel Mine

Sentinels (Book 10): Rebel Mine
Written: 2010
Released: 2011

Unang kita pa lang ni Frederick James Trinidad kay Camilla Herrera, crush na niya ito. At nang una silang bigyan ng kani-kanilang dogtags bilang Sentinels, naisip na niyang ibigay iyon sa dalaga. Kaso nahihiya siya. Oo, kung anong tapang niya kapag kaharap ang mga rebelde, siya namang torpe niya kay Cammie.

Isang beses, naisip niyang wala siyang mararating kung hindi susubukan. Sinimulan niya sa pag-aya ritong mag-lunch. Sulit naman ang pagharap sa ‘takot’ niya dahil gusto rin pala siya ng dalaga.

Ngunit nagsisimula pa lamang sila ay kailangan na ni Derick na sirain ang pagtitiwala nito – upang kuhanin naman ang tiwala ng isang rebeldeng heneral na kailangan nilang pabagsakin…

TRIVIA:

  • I wrote Derick and Cammie’s story for one of my college best friends. She was the one who suggested the name “Camilla”. She’s also my resource person when it came to logistics (i.e. SM, Edades, the ISAFP compound, etc.). So thank you, bebe. I still owe you lunch and a dog tag.
  • Derick made his debut appearance in Sentinels 5: Dark Warrior. He helped save Mallory’s life when she was brought to the rebel camp.
  • Derick’s cover model is Daniel Wu. If this book wasn’t for the MIL imprint, Maggie Q would have been Camilla.
  • Future Sentinel, Major Alejandro “Donnie” Llanes III, who will lead the third batch, makes his debut appearance in this book.

    ms. elise, you pulled a rabbit out of a hat with derick’s characterization in this story. (spoiler alert for those who haven’t read the book yet) i seriously didn’t expect that he would be the first character who would be part of the Sentinels team and at the same time still on active AFP duty. i really like this twist (if it is proper to call it as such) i think it gives more flexibility to the series :) looking back i guess you left a clue regarding this in dark warrior. if my memory serves me correctly, after mallory was rescued, it was mentioned by derick’s character that he would like to remain with the ISAFP because he could better serve the Sentinels and AFP in that way. honestly, when you mentioned that book 10 would be derick’s story and cammie will be his heroine i really thought by this time he already had an honorable discharge from active duty and what would be special about him was that he was brave enough to date cammie in spite of all her bodyguards that goes by the name cam, mac, donnie, riley, joseph and john. :)

    if , in my opinion, the story of Pol also tackled on what people can do for the person they love (Pol for his Kuya Les and Quinn for her amain) the story of Derick and Cammie gave importance to family. as a reader, we got to see how grateful Cammie and Derick was of the family that they have and how important this family is to them. Yes, there is still the usual “kilig” moments between them however, it was really good to read on how they interact with their family members (Derick with his mom and Cammie with the Herreras).

    i really really enjoyed reading this. still can’t get over the fact that there is a character in the Sentinels series who is still on active AFP duty. good job! (again :) ). as a series fan, you have kept me on my toes because of this development. looking forward for more sentinels to come :)

  21. Elise Estrella says:

    Haha “pulling a rabbit out of the hat” talaga ‘yon. I had to do a lot of magical manipulations para gawing posible ang pagsali ni Derick sa Sentinels and at the same time eh manatiling active duty military. So mixture talaga ng facts at literary license ‘yang si Trinidad. Thank you so much for your comments! I hope I won’t disappoint you with the future Sentinels! ^^

    PS “series fan”… super kinilig ako sa term na ‘yan hihi thank you ulit. Happy New Year!

  22. freeverse34 says:

    ginulat talaga ako ni trinidad! i was like aha! pwede pala sa sentinels yung active duty pa rin sila sa AFP. ayos ito ha. kasi technically parang sa lahat ng members si mac na lang yung active duty eh Navy SEAL pa siya hehehe sa totoo lang ang major motivation ko kung bakit gusto ko mabasa ang story ni derick ay curious talaga ako malaman ang reason kung bakit nabaril si daddy joe. pero unexpected talaga na naenjoy ko ang pagbabasa ng story nila ni cammie. with pol kasi medyo alam ko nang maeenjoy ko ang story anuman ang maging takbo nun kasi si pol as a character natutuwa talaga ako sa kanya si derick well let’s just say ang tumatak sa utak ko eh member siya ng ISAFP at gusto siya ipa-recruit ni mallory kay cam sa sentinels. wala masyado sa personality factor hehehe at least ngayon, well for me at least, he made his own mark.

    i do believe i will be a series fan for a long time. after all may inaabangan pa ko, yung stories ni randall at ni matt riley tapos lumabas na rin sa mga libro yung mga anak ng first batch ng sentinels. more characters, more interesting series :) and i noticed dumadami rin kaming fans. madami nang nagiiwan ng message for you dito sa site mo hehehe

  23. anne143 says:

    nagandahan po ako sa story ni derick kasi po cute po yung fact na shy siya tapos si cammie naman yung makulit… Cutie pala talaga si Trinidad! hehe.. i agree po… :) magsusulat rin po ba kayo ng para kay donnie? curious lang po.. hihi.. :D

  24. anne143 says:

    ahhh… nasa works-in-progress na pala si donnie.. hehehehehehe… :)

  25. Elise Estrella says:

    Sa kanilang lahat, si Derick ang pinakamatapang! ^^ Si Donnie, naka-line up na sa mga susulat ko pero matagal pa siya eh. Sana mapanindigan ko! Hihi

  26. Elise Estrella says:

    Hehe oo pero prologue pa lang ang nasusulat ko sa kanya wehehe :D

  27. thina says:

    weeeee hi ms. elise :D kamusta na po :D

    love na love ko talaga ang mga boys mo :D
    more sentinels to come pa :D
    Goodluck @ Godbless po ..

  28. Elise Estrella says:

    Hi, Thina!!! Long time, no chikka ah ^^ thank you sa pagdalaw!

  29. thina says:

    oo nga po ee :D
    bumibusy lang lng po

    kailan po lalabas ang iba nyu pang boys ? :D

  30. Elise Estrella says:

    Naku, matagal pa. Hanggang ngayon hindi pa tapos si daddy John! :( ( Pero feeling ko, kung matapos ko siya, sunud-sunod na ulit :D

  31. thina says:

    weeee !
    super excited na po for that :D hopefully matapos mu na po :D
    Goodluck ms elise :D

  32. Elise Estrella says:

    Thanks! Malapit na malapit na ^^

  33. freeverse34 says:

    hi ms. elise i have a question pala. sino ba ang biological father ni cammie? i was supposed to ask this way before pa but i decided to re-read rebel mine. i thought i might have missed the info but so far after reading it again parang hindi ko pa rin nabasa yung info na yun hehehe in case na talaga hindi mo pinangalanan yung daddy ni cammie mabibigyan pa ba siya ng name in the future books or wala lang talaga masyadong background sa daddy niya.

  34. Elise Estrella says:

    I didn’t include Cammie’s biological father to show na insignificant yong tatay niya sa buhay ni Cammie hehe so deliberate ‘yong hindi ko pagbigay ng pangalan sa kanya. Ang backstory noon, hindi na sinabi ni Joyce (Cammie’s mom) kung sino ang nakabuntis sa kanya kasi sure siyang hahanpin ‘yon ng mga kuya niya. Hindi na rin nag-re-react sila daddy Joe at daddy John kapag niloloko silang hinanap at tinepok nila ‘yong biological dad ni Cammie hehe no comment silang dalawa do’n kaya walang may alam kung joke lang nila na sinalvage nila ‘yong lalaki o talagang hinayaan na lang nila. As far as the family is concerned, si daddy Joe at si daddy John ang mga tatay niya hehe

    No, hindi ko rin babanggitin kung sino siya ^^ We’re leaving it as it is hehe

    P.S. I really love your questions! ^^

  35. freeverse34 says:

    i see. but i just wonder if buhay pa yung daddy nina daddy joe at daddy john nung nabuntis si tita joyce? (talagang tita ano?! hehehehe). i mean i’m dreading his reaction. kasi yung reaction lang niya nung sinabi ni daddy john na ayaw niya mag-pma what more pa malamang buntis yung bunso niya tapos hindi pa pinanagutan nung lalaki.

  36. Elise Estrella says:

    Nakupow! Tagos sa buto ang galit. Pero baby girl kasi niya si Tita Joyce (haha ako rin, tita na!) kaya hindi siya masyadong nakapag-amok. Kay daddy John lang yata talaga mainit ang dugo ni lolo general eh. Saka kung saktan niya si Joyce, baka makatikim na siya sa mga anak niyang boys. ‘Yon ang di nila matitiis kapag saktan ang mommy saka baby sister nila.

  37. freeverse34 says:

    tamoh! protective pa naman ang mga herrera boys sa mga girls in general. kita mo nga si boss mac, malambot puso sa mga babae hehehe karamihan tuloy sa mga dog tag girls either crush siya o naging crush siya haha (well opinion ko lang naman ito based sa nabasa ko) yung mommy nina daddy joe at daddy john ano reaction nung nalamang preggy si tita joyce?

    by the way, i think kilala mo yung role players sa fb accounts nina boss mac, boss cam, mallory at bryce. kindly send them my thanks. super funny ng mga posts nila. lalo na ang sagutan ni boss mac at boss cam. seriously, stress reliever ang pagbasa ng mga posts nila :)

  38. Elise Estrella says:

    Haha yeah. Protective sila. Saka pagdating sa mga girls, marshmallows ang mga Herrera hehe Si Mrs. Herrera naman, sunud-sunuran siya sa asawa niya, but she loves her kids. She was upset when Joyce got pregnant pero she accepted it and supported her daughter ^^

    Thanks din sa comment about the role players! Makakarating hehe they enjoy role playing din as much as their FB friends enjoy reading their comments. Ako rin, aliw ako sa palitan nila ng comments eh. Ang kukulit! haha

  39. freeverse34 says:

    korek! naku imagine kung may fb account din si russ, baste at pol. riot sigurado hahahaha
