Awares

The Metal Maiden Series #4

by Piers Anthony

The Metal Maiden Series is a wildly different kind of story that tells how Elasa, a humanoid robot who achieves consciousness, eventually saves the world from surpassing horror.

Elasa contacts the very special Awares, folk who attune so perfectly to their environment that they can disappear, literally and figuratively. She needs to work with them to try to save Earth from being eaten by huge telepathic galactic maggots.

Reviews

[Scott Whitney · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a fun read. Sure, it can come across a little strange at times, but it is fun. It is also a good end to the series, perhaps. I never put it past Piers Anthony to add a fifth or tenth book to a trilogy.

Book 4 All Loose Ends Solved Good Story

The journey ends in this book, there are no loose ends to solve. Or are there? For me all loose ends were taken care of . This book has a satisfying conclusion. I liked this book.

Interesting concept of a major threat to Earth! Once again we are led on an adventure through the mind of Piers Anthony! With all characters from the previous 3 books included, we embark on a joint journey to save the Earth from giant maggots! Can the answer really be so tiny?

If you have never read anything by this amazing author and love sci-fi, treat yourself!
