The Jupiter Paradox

by Hylton H. Smith

Following the Era of Conflict between Homo-Sapiens and the Cyborgs they created, a tentative period of cooperation emerged. The residual population was heavily skewed to the Borg template. By 2175, the radiation threat from the dissipating ozone layer had escalated to worrying levels. The Rift Incident had to be investigated, and a rigorous selection process for the crew resulted in four Borg and two humans heading for Jupiter space. What they discovered would become known as The Jupiter Paradox. Was it a genuine paradox or merely a puzzle to which there was no acceptable solution? What would happen if they did nothing? It clearly illustrated that the Borgs and their creators would have to strengthen their alliance quickly in order to deal with the discovery, and that wasn’t going to be easy.

Space genetic roller-coaster.

Five star, well thought out, well written well worth reading.
I actually wish I had five hundred more pages, to enjoy its a great mix of battle love genetics and electronics.

A really good book

A good book but a lot going on it was hard for me to keep up with the plethora of changing characters.

An interesting concept, but the dialogue is terrible. Conversations between the characters are stilted, wooden, and long winded.

The Jupiter Paradox is an interesting idea. It does tend to ramble on from time to time with very long paragraphs that can get hard to track. This makes the fact that the ending felt rushed even stranger. It was like an award show where the music starts playing and the winner suddenly just wraps it all up.

Overall an interesting story worth a read.

The book felt a little disjointed, overall the story was OK, good concept.
A lot of twists in the story, but I can't say it particularly stood out for me. I have definitely read far worse sci-fi.
