Waypoint Eclipse
"Seamlessly melding the essences of The Expanse and Andor…Waypoint Eclipse hooks the reader from the start and whisks them off into a grand saga." —Michael A. Stackpole, New York Times bestselling author of I, Jedi and Rogue Squadron
~3050 A.D. - Shep abandons his family to embark on a mission to the ancient Waypoint lunar station in a last-ditch effort to salvage station’s remains for enough money to redeem himself and support his daughter. But the journey is notoriously deadly, and his attempt is no exception. When a mysterious crash leaves Shep and his crew trapped and isolated at Waypoint, he hacks into the station’s backlog for answers to the questions of how the station’s original inhabitants escaped. But he’s presented with more information than he knows how to unravel—especially when a shadowy force begins to hunt Shep and his crew, picking them off one by one.
~2050 A.D. - Anna Lee is the daughter of Waypoint station’s administrator, neglected by her father and tormented by her peers, and she’s out for revenge. Agata is an orphan refugee accustomed to tragedy yet always seeking to see the good in others. And when the station is attacked, both will do what they deem necessary for survival. Perfect for Interstellar enthusiasts and fans of Dark Matter by Blake Crouch, Waypoint Eclipse is a thrilling meditation on human nature, the people who shape us, and the unsettling steps we would take to make it home to those we love.

If I could give this a 3.5 I would. It’s very well written and enjoyable but I just didn’t click with the characters. Other than one character death, none of them hit hard. And how Anna Lee went from insane human child to insane space station AI was … the explanation used many words about rage but nothing tangible.

If you like sci-fi thrillers, then I bet you’d like this one.
FYI, I had to close the book a couple of times because it got a little too creepy. 👀 But, once I got halfway, I couldn’t put it down.
I liked the characters too, even the the main character, Shep, who is the anti-hero of anti-heroes—and elicited some epic eye rolls from me. 🙄
I look forward to Buchheit’s next book!!

Buchheit masterfully weaves together multiple timelines, planting foreshadowing seeds along the way that bloom into an epic finale. The internal struggles of loss, love, and addiction propel a character arc that is both relatable and contemptuous, leaving the reader conflicted yet hopeful. This is a must-read or any fan of science fiction in the dawning age of artificial intelligence.
