Resistance

Who who have thought?

The curse perhaps of having the ability to explore a massive, and effectively free library is of getting addicted to particular genres, coming to hate others that you once liked (omg not another global who nightmare causing everyone to change into zombies, or vampires or whatever).

Some series can spin off into myriad directions, recycling characters in different scenarios (Queen Bitch and Michael anderle and gang, I salute you).

But what about this book I hear you scream? Well, I've dabbled with some of Max Carver's books in the past with differing results. Ironically, like me, Max takes a long time to get up to speed, which back in the older days of the earlier pre-Kindle days meant a lot of shopping around, exchanging of DRM keys, etc.

But, as to this I stuck with it, and the story leapt from walking pace, to interplanetary, then onto Jumpgates, to steal from the nearest tech description as found in B5. Indeed there are so many overlaps, from the gate operators here to the telepath's of JMS universe.

I'm off hunting down a sequel. There really really needs to be one of I'm gonna really upset my nearest Echo demanding that Alexa give me the answers!

If you like slow and steady character development with matching universe and history telling, this will not disappoint. If I find the sequel quickly, I'll be back to bump this to 5*
