Two Worlds #2
Alliance
His allies are not always who they seem to be.
The law enforcement robot known as J997 travels to the magical and mystical world of Dela after a criminal wanted on his homeworld of Xeeo. His mission is simple: Find the criminal and bring her back to his world to be judged for her crimes. With an entire database in his head that contains information on everything in the two worlds, and an unflappable desire to pursue the criminal, J997 is certain that this job will be quick.
But the mission becomes more complicated when J997 is caught between two secret organizations whose conflict goes back to the dawn of the two worlds themselves. J997 must now avoid getting caught in the crossfire if he is going to return home to Xeeo in one piece. Unless the two organizations have anything to say about it.

Sorry, but I just couldn't finish this. The characters are pretty much all very wooden, with a very awkward and stilted way of speaking.
The first person narrator goes on and on and on and on, way over explaining minor details, their current and intended future actions, and tell-not-show motivations. It's like they need to use blocks, arrows, and Y/N diamond shapes in a logical decision diagram to accomplish even the simplest of tasks lol.
The first book in the series had a quaint vanity press vibe to it, with a standard "fish out of water" protagonist and some reasonably realistic dialog. But this one is just way too wonky for me to slog through. Sorry. Next....

"I see that the situation is {this}, and that I need to do {this, this, and this}, in {this specific} order. I will do these things, in that exact order, as I am aware of {this trivial fact} will probably affect {this}, {this}, {this}, and potentially {something else} as the result of me doing {this}. All of these things will allow me to continue on {whatever task I am undertaking}. But before I commence this task, I will double-check everything again, to ensure that {the task} will be accomplished as expeditiously as possible. Okay, I shall now proceed".Yes, I understand the narrator is a robot, but that doesn't mean they need to be written in such a ham-fisted manner.
