Corrosive Knights #5
Ghost of the Argus
You awaken from a deep sleep only to find yourself in a small room and with no memory of who you are or how you got here. You leave this room and explore your surroundings. You're on a starship. A starship far larger than any you have encountering before. A starship whose size dwarfs the largest of the Mega-Cities.
Despite the ship's incredible size, you find you are completely and utterly alone. You appear to be the sole occupant of this mysterious vessel…
Why were you brought here? Why are you alone? And what dark secrets are buried in the shadows of your mind?
The answers lie in the Ghost of the Argus!
Ghost of the Argus is the fifth book in the Corrosive Knights series. It follows Mechanic, The Last Flight of the Argus, Chameleon, and Nox.

So much potential, hits some spots, fails on others
After the masterpiece that is Last Flight of the Argus,, I was perhaps expecting too much in this sequel. I have never been a fan of aa-seeing, all-knowing storylines. They are often overused and merely cover an authors inability to script a credible finale. So it is with this novel and on this occasion this writer.
As stories and action goes it is a very fine novel, though nit extraordinary. Heartstrings are pulled, tensions racked up, nailbiting sequences galore. Character interplay is this writers strength I feel. Attempts to rack up tensipn with artificial or ridiculous deadlines, symptomatic of tv thrillers ie only 10 seconds to go before.... are over-used by many writers with screenplays in mind.
The author is a fabulous writer. Imaginative, creative, well worth reading at any time. For me this novel, from start to finish, doesnit work. A multi-billion year evolutionary plan, genetically rngineered, where all participants are identified in advance of the story's finale is truly stretching credibility. I loved the action but drspised the alll knowing all seeing we have been waiting for you for millennia plot.
To the writer I say, you are capable of so much mire, so much beyter, than this. In my eyes it needs a total rewrite with properly set out timelines, rather than smudged before, now, tomorrow all scrunched up like a snowball. Sorrybut that is how I see it.
If you are not a deep thinker, but an all action reader, you will not be disappointed. But for me. NO.
