An ancient crazy AI calling itself the “Machine” wreak havoc. Huge space battle at end of book that will have galactic consequences.
I like how the author is installing more humor. Like this nonchalant exchange in Chapter 1:
We were after someone else who did that, Crusher said. He hired a bunch of mercs and put them into suits. Who was that? I cant think of his name Jason admitted, but he was an immigration official. he was the asshole who worked with trafficking rings and fulfilled orders by detaining and selling refugees. that was him Crusher nodded.
I’m really glad we ended up killing him. Ditto.
