Craig Robertson (3)Rezensionen

Here’s the elevator pitch for Craig Robertson’s The Forever Life: Jupiter is about to be knocked out of its orbit and collide with Earth in less than a century. So we have to move. Build ark ships to get a few of us off in time. Send out exploratory probes. Jon Ryan, a fighter pilot who should be played by a young Tom Cruise, is uploaded into a long-lived android body. He is sent out in a small ship with a snarky, priggish AI to scout for places to send the arks. Eyebrow-raising adventures ensue.½

Robertson, Craig. Embers. E-book ed., Imagine-It, 2017. Galaxy on Fire 1.
“The Drive-In will never die.” (Joe Bob Briggs, long ago on The Movie Channel)
Neither will E. E. “Doc” Smith.
“Stingray, set a course for the Andromeda galaxy.” I tapped the control panel. “These coordinates. When we arrive, proceed to this destination.” I keyed in a globular cluster on the far side of the Milky Way Galaxy. (Craig Robertson, Embers)
Forget the nonstandard caps. There is a voice interface, but he has to type coordinates. Why not? Who cares?
None of what happens in this book makes a lick of sense—two stars.

A lot of fun--particularly if you've done NaNoWriMo! :)

Kinda a silky sci-fi.
Reminded me of The Hitch Hikers Guide to The Galaxy” writing style and story.
Not really my kind of sci-fi but that said, I think I will order the next in the series😊
