Historia
Jain was the lieutenant commander of an elite SEAL team. He was accustomed to order and discipline, which he used to give the men under his command that particular brand of killer instinct his unit was known for.But one day that semi-comfortable, ordered life ended when he opened his eyes to find his body replaced by a starship. His mind had become its AI core. He is somewhere in deep space. Most of his systems are badly damaged. He has no memory of how he got here, or what his mission is. Evidence points to an attack by an unknown entity.

Bad fantasy pretending to be sci-fi
Revisado: 12-22-24
The difference between sci-fi and fantasy is that one discusses physics and the other discusses magic. How do you know the difference? Magic doesn’t need to be plausible or constrained. Physics requires plausibility and constraints. The difference then is in how hand-wavy the author is - do they make an effort to explain the complexity they’re hinting at?
This book is my new favourite example of “having technology doesn’t make it sci-fi”
None of the magical technology in this book is plausibly explained. It was stolen from other alien civilisations, that’s it. The list of magical powers bestowed by these alien artefacts read like a child’s superpower wishlist. Invisibility, teleportation, “shockwave”, big space sword, robot swarm army..
This is cheap fantasy masquerading as sci-fi. Low effort, primary school level storytelling. Would have been better if it were witches and wizards in space.
This is the 109th book I have read this year, and so far, the worst.

Well worth the money

A wonderful collection of excellent books. Plenty I’ve already read, but great to read again. Some not so good but still interesting.

Historia
Having grown disillusioned with the miserable existence that is expected of young college students, the newlyweds Bill and Ruth Albee dream of heading to Alaska, on foot, by way of a vast blank space on the map that is modern day Western British Columbia. Like most most dreams, it dug into their body, mind, and soul until nothing could satisfy it until they had given it a try. So, in 1930, they started off, ignoring all warnings and leaving from Vancouver on foot up through western B.C.

Not bad but a bit slow
Revisado: 12-10-23
The story never really picked up, and the end of the tale wasn't as satisfying as I'd hoped. A lesser version of On Call In The Arctic.

Historia
It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

This used to be a 2 star review
Revisado: 03-23-23
The MC is an insufferable, sanctimonious weeb. It’s hard to get past. But the story gets deeper and more enjoyable over the next few books and I’m glad I stuck it out.
