Drifting

by Dave Cook

"What is an android's dream?"



The Fury. An ancient force so vast and illusive that most believe it to be a fairy tale of space. Hibernating for billions of years, it is something that has returned countless times...



Luna, an android, is the sole survivor of the Fury's last feeding cycle. She has drifted across space for millions of years, haunted by dreams and fragments of memory from a time long passed.



Now, with the Fury returning once again, Luna must join forces with the human crew of the UAAC Harlequin to further investigate the ancient cataclysm, in an attempt to understand it, and survive it again.



But can the humans really trust this android? And what use can their efforts really be against the forces of a primal monster that gave birth to the stars at the beginning of time, as it has done for countless eons...?

Review
"Here's the thing. Fancy an original, intelligent, sci-fi book? Grab Drifting. [...] It is the strength of the characters in the sci-fi novel rather than the inventive plot that is ultimately responsible for the story's success."
-- Geeknative.com

"Drifting by Dave Cook and Matthew Drury [is] a new twist on a sci-fi classic; the helpful Android. In this case we're talking about a rather humble Android who has survived the end of the world already, a cosmic apocalypse, and isn't too pleased to hear it might be happening again."

[Gary Weldon · Rating 2 out of 5]

This started really well and I was enjoying the whole mood and feel of the story. Sadly with about a quarter of the book to go it changed and almost became unrecognisable. From a Sci-Fi dark thriller it morphed into a poorly written run of the mill action story.
