Exodus
(2017) Alex Lamb
Will Kono-Monet versus Superior Nada (Sounds like a nightmare
Catholic Nun). Or is it Mark Ruiz and
Ann Ludec versus the Photurians (The Borg).
Wait maybe all of the above versus the Transcended. Be prepared for all of the above. At the end of Nemesis Will becomes a captive
of Snake Pit by the Transcended. In
Exodus it turns out Snake Pit has become “Will World” with many variants of Will and a meta
expression named “Balance” that polices the rest. Meanwhile, Mark, Ann, and Ira set off with a
few expendables to reach Snake Pit and Will through the back door and at the
same time lead the Photorian Fleet into dead space. Oh and they just happen to “find” Rachel
cryo-preserved after 40 years. They did
not count on Superior Nada - a
semi-independent Phot who eventually blends the Photorian psyche with that of
Will World to form her own collective of Nada clones.
What kind of deal can Will and /
or Mark work out with the Transcended to stop Nada from taking over
everyone? Spoiler Alert - How can all of the main characters survive in
this incredibly hostile galaxy? Maybe
you like fairytale endings but come on…
A nice wrap-up of a very good Sci
Fi trilogy. Alex Lamb does a great job
of bringing the characters to life while describing the battle scenes and the
virtual worlds with vivid detail. I’ll
take another please.
