Nemesis (2016) Alex Lamb
The most be a thousand books with this title. Sci Fi, fantasy, fiction, and
non-fiction. Come on! Can’t we do a little better? Anyway.
Part 2 of the Roboteer (I do like that title even though it is stolen
from a Disney movie) Trilogy. Will
Kuno-Monet finished the Roboteer as the
most powerful man alive infected with smart cells given him by the Transcended. Well he is finding living as the super being
in a world of not super beings is not so easy. He makes his wife Rachel so
frustrated that she gets lost exploring the edge of the galaxy. Mark Ruiz is a new character - a pseudo-son
to Will who is a “super” Roboteer. A
strong willed pilot who gets assigned to help lead a mission to explore a
possible new alien contact. Will is also
on the mission. Unfortunately, all is
not as it seems and the whole thing is a ploy to destroy Earth and allow
Galatea to rule. Of course, the whole
thing backfires and a real alien menace is released. Think the “Borg” only they are called the
Photurions. Their home-world is a world
of tubular structures called “Snake Pit”.
The key to salvation (maybe) is control of this world. Watch out for Anne Ludec.
Alex Lamb writes long detailed books. I love it.
It makes the scenes very real to me.
Others might find it a burden and too slow. I think this is similar to
Covey’s Expanse series and is ripe for development.
