On the edges of known space, humanity clings to the remnants of its once-proud heritage. Strewn across a handful of habitable planets, amidst a host of more remarkable alien species in the vast Welkin Belt, mankind exists as a testament to mediocrity.
The cyborg Entropy refuses to accept the idea that she is nothing more than a soulless artifact of a doomed race. When a routine cargo delivery to a remote mining planet suddenly turns into a struggle for their very survival, she and the crew of her supply ship take on a mysterious passenger and set out to find a way back home.
Their journey will take them to strange places, deep into uncharted space, and will challenge their very notions of love, faith, and what it means to be human.
I’ve had this book on my shelf to read for quite some time, and finally read it because my husband was looking for something to read so we’re reading the series together.
I bought this series because I met the author at a comic convention some time ago. This book isn’t what I expected, but I quite enjoyed the ride. It’s very character driven and I found the subject and questions it posed interesting to think on. I thought the world building was well done too.
I never really connected with this book. Towards the end it got more enjoyable but didn't last. Read the book in short spurts as there was a lot of explanations of stuff that failed to gain much interest to me. Too in depth. There was a short story in among the word vomit. Might appeal to others but just okay to me...barely.
The author, A. P. Webb, does a very nice job of setting the table, as it were, and drawing you in with good dialogue and solid characterizations. As the story unfolds, he succeeds in making the reader want more. There are so many BAD books out there that when you find something that actually makes you think -- and is enjoyable at the same time -- you want to endorse it. Hence the five stars.
