Resurrection
Earth is gone.
When an unknown vessel destroys Earth without warning, only one human woman survives.
The vessel is feared to belong to a people known only as 'The Decimators' who are rumoured to destroy all those they deem to be lesser species, before retreating to their own space on the edge of the galaxy.
However, 200 years later when the woman is unfrozen, she sets out to uncover the truth about The Decimators, her rescuers, and pursue a technology called the 'Resurrection Chamber,' which she believes can bring back humanity.
As she gets further and further into the quest, she must ask herself one question...
How far will she go to bring back her people?

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
⭐ "Resurrection" by David W. Adams is a stunning addition to the Dark Corner Universe, and I'm delighted to award it a well-deserved 5 stars!
⭐ From the very beginning, this book had me completely invested. The character of Molly is an absolute standout, and her journey is filled with twists and turns that kept me eagerly turning the pages.
⭐ While I've enjoyed every book in the series, "Resurrection" quickly became my favourite (until "The Land Beyond,"). It's a testament to Adams' storytelling abilities that he can continually raise the bar with each instalment.
⭐ I've heard that some readers may not hold this book in as high regard as others in the series, but I found it to be immensely enjoyable. It marks Adams' first foray into science fiction, and I believe he absolutely nailed it. The seamless integration of references to beloved sci-fi shows added an extra layer of delight for fans of the genre.
⭐ "Resurrection" is not only an easy read but also highly entertaining. It's a book that effortlessly blends suspense, science fiction, and memorable characters into a compelling narrative.

If Star Trek, Firefly and Babylon 5 got together and wrote a YA sci-fi fanfic, David’s Resurrection would be the result. This is a good thing. The book rattles along at a cracking pace, building to a wonderful, unexpected twist that answered every question I had.
Milly is driven by incidents in her past. She is trying to find an alien called Torath who has dedicated his life to bringing back extinct species. Like humanity. Humanity is almost extinct. Milly is the last human in the universe after Decimators destroyed the Earth. Not for an interstellar bypass, but for much more nefarious reasons. With a special set of skills, Milly is a strong main character with clear motivations, if murky intentions. She almost abducts Jaxx, a member of a species genetically engineered by humans for exploring space. Together, they hunt for a way to return humanity to the galaxy. Others also want the technology to bring people back from the dead, leading to a cat-and-mouse game on several planets.
Written in a straightforward style, the alien names are easy to pronounce, something of a welcome rarity in sci-fi. Clever use of flashbacks fills in details where required, without detracting from the main storyline. A lot of the book takes place onboard spacecraft, most of which have a Star Trek feel to them. The aliens may be a little too human in how they refer and react to the world around them, but it makes the story easier to follow.
In summary, it’s a nice, easy read. If you’re after hard sci-fi, this isn’t it. If you’re after entertainment on the level of Star Trek, then this is definitely for you.

The authors first go at science fiction - and a welcome one. The characters are easily to follow along with, no complicated jargon or names. There are twists and turns throughout the book that come to a beautiful conclusion at the end. Not hard core sci-fi, but a fun and easy read none-the-less. I'd definitely recommend.

Molly is the last human in the galaxy, and she's on a mission to resurrect humanity - seemingly at any cost.
This is a quick read with plenty of twists and turns plus a satisfying ending, but also enough intrigue to make me immediately pick up the next book!
I really enjoyed this book and would unquestionably recommend it to any sci-fi fans.
