Outriders Number 2.  Lets see  -  Mars against Earth.  A novel concept in SF!  Way to go!  However, I actually like this novel.  Why?  Great characters!  I want to see what happens with Lincoln Suh, Amira Wright, Thumper, and the rest of the crew.  Imagine that – character development in a military SF book.  But there you are.  Some interesting angles.  Multiple clone backups for each of them with some potential problems in the transfer process.  An AI space ship which is not really developed – missed opportunity I think. The pace was spot on and the tech was very good.  If only we could get a more creative background plot.  “Can’t always get what you want…..”

All These Worlds -Bobiverse Book 3  (2017) 

Dennis E. Taylor

Well here we are at the conclusion (?)  of the Bobiverse trilogy.  Bob, Bill, Will, Howard etc   need to wrap things up.  They better develop the android bodies so they can interact better with the short-lived humans.  I liked the series but have to admit that this was a little disappointing.  I thought another human would be scanned as a replicant and would have some new interactions and possibly mixing of ideas and maybe some baby replicants who were not just clones.  Oh well.

The story about “The Others” was exciting and ended ina satisfying way.  Maybe book 4 could follow original Bob as he travels out into the unknown and possibly meets a new type of alien life?
