In NPC [non-player characters], JR returns to the idea of, “we are living in a simulation, programmed/created by an external architect,” he first introduced in book one of the series, Infinite.
Amongst a cast of wonderfully detailed characters, non-stop action sequences, and JR’s stylistic blend of wit and sarcasm, two parallel perspectives on life within “the simulation” are developed, and moral quandaries abound.
With virtuoso performances, R.C. Bray and Jeffrey Kafer dual each other as they are pitted on opposing sides of the moral and theological divides.
A must read! …note: you do not need to read the prior books in the series, though I highly recommend them all!
