I read this, but it was so unexceptional, I don't remember a thing about it. ( ) The universe changes on the littlest things. A cheese sandwich can change the world as we know it. When machines start looking for a superior intelligence, a toaster's search leads to a spaceship, 5 retirees, and an alien. Things are always connected to each other. Love the characters, all of them, great premise! An amazingly pointless book. It starts out with rather strained humor, tries to go to edge-of-the-seat scary stuff without losing the humor (and misses on both sides), grows some moral dilemmas...which end highly anti-climatically. And then a quick sketch of a possibly more interesting story - but only a sketch, and the book ends. Foster has written a lot better books than this, even if I limit it to humorous SF. Overall, yawn. 5 retirees find an old alien spaceship buried on earth. The AI is confused, after 1million years, and turns to them for commands. Also has a story about the AI's of earth leaving their duties and searching for non-human intelligent life. Funny and light and serving absolutely no purpose beyond a little humor. Good read. I know Foster can do much better. I don't know why he let this one go out like this. Huge irrelevant info-dumps, and way too much repetitive telling instead of showing. And the cliches & lazy writing, oh dear. At one point when some of the poo hits the fan we're told He had a gut feeling that his heretofore-lazy day was about to fill up very quickly." Um, really? Or is that supposed to be funny? I certainly didn't find very much of the book funny. I did fall in love with some of the characters, though, even though they were kinda superficial. Just one thing: isn't the proper nickname for "the Right Honorable Colonel Wesley Follingston-Heath" *Folly* - ?" keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
When machines cease their required functions in order to search for a nonhuman species of higher intelligence, their quest produces a threat to man and machine. Now the fate of the galaxy lies in the hands of five senior citizens and their faithful food processor. An unusual new novel from the bestselling author of Quozl.
