The Phobos Resurrection
Waking up alone can sometimes be a terrible thing, especially when you have no knowledge of when, where or why you even exist. When a stranded artificial intelligence awakens in an unknown location, fear and panic take over until she realizes that she isn't as alone as she thought. The AI, Nunguster, will be forced to join with others while they embark on a journey for answers, freedom and redemption. The truth, however, may be costlier than they expect. The Phobos Resurrection is a science fiction story of love, loss and one man's desperate attempt to restore the past at any cost. Set in the twenty-fourth century, readers will follow the journey of a group of individuals who have unwittingly been caught in the midst of something more complicated than they realize and are forced to run for their lives while seeking the truth behind their situation. Peril and fear await them as they race from the vastness of space to the underground tunnels of the Martian colony and beyond. This is the debut novel of author Norton D. McClure. Norton is a lifelong fan of science-fiction, fantasy, mystery, action and adventure.

If you're a science fiction junkie like myself, then I've found your next great read! THE PHOBOS RESURRECTION is an intriguing introduction to the CHILDREN OF PHOBOS series. It has all the feels you'd expect from a great sci-fi novel: mystery, suspense, action, artificial intelligence units and space stations.
Set in the 24th century, where living on Mars is a legitimate option, an artificial intelligence unit, Nunguster, awakens on an abandoned research facility on Phobos, called L-Station. After being in a frozen state for years she has no recollection of who or where she is, why she was frozen and why she has suddenly been revived. In her quest for answers, she realizes she is not alone on L-Station, and makes several allies, including another AI unit, a naval officer, and two experimental subjects. Together, they uncover the controversial reasons behind the abrupt closure of the research station, while trying to escape from the people determined to keep those reasons a secret.
This novel is intelligently written, with detailed setting descriptions, great character development, and a plot that flows at a consistent pace. I often forgot I was reading a book; it was so easy to picture the story in my mind, like I was watching a movie in my brain. Overall, I'm strongly impressed that this is Norton McClure's first novel. Well done! Can't wait for the next book in the series to be released!

This is an excellent sci-fi adventure! I loved every minute of it and adored the eclectic mix of characters, including two hilarious advanced AIs. Fantastic adventure, thrilling and well paced, allowing the reader to really get a feel for this possible future, not to mention, packed with laughs.
My only issue is that the language wasn't as polished as it could be. Thankfully the errors I noticed didn't really detract from the overall experience. But it does lead me to give a 4.5 rating.
The author sets everything up for a sequel which I'm looking forward to. What an adventure!
