John Scalzi: The Last Colony (2008)
The Last Colony is a science fiction novel by American writer John Scalzi, the third …
Found as EN "boxed set" and read the trilogy (with Old Man's War & The Ghost Brigades) in less than a week (nights mainly). Obvious ending, but better than #2 IMHO
I tried to read this with the hope that book two would be the dip, like the #2 of a movie series. But sadly the balloon clearly had popped, The greatness of book one totally gone :(
Emma Newman: Atlas Alone (2019, Ace)
This book takes place 6 months after the events of Planetfall #2 ("After Atlas"). We have Dee as our main character and she gets unknowingly involved in a suspected murder inside the colony ship. As we know from the previous book, Dee is an avid gamer, and she soon joins elite game servers, or "leets" where the gamers real life abilities are represented in game, making these games extremely challenging. This is another unputdownable book by Emma Newman with virtual reality immersive games, discussions about AI and consciousness, corporate indenture, social justice and revenge. It's all intertwined with the main character's journey confronting her traumatic past while she investigates and plans for the future. It's intense, thrilling and has the ending was breath taking.
