I really tried to get into this book, but after an hour or two I felt like I was listening to a really weak rendition of the Bobiverse series. Just abruptly starts with the main character as an AI in command of a damaged ship. Ok, fine. Then an AI that helps the AI. Ehhhh, okay I guess. Then brings the other AI’s in other damaged ships back online and they give themselves ridiculous names (oh, like Bobiverse personalities tailoring their own VR spaces, but a weak version of that). Then there was an incredibly abrupt introduction of the fact that they’ve been fighting aliens and snagging their technology. It was so abrubt that I thought that I had nodded off and missed something. Nope. Just out of the blue. At that point I blew the whistle, called a technical foul, and ended this farce.
