Runaway

Proxima-Logbücher #4

by Brandon Q. Morris

Zwei Menschen und ein Roboter durchstreifen auf der Suche nach Schiffbrüchigen das All nahe des Sonnensystems. Die Majestätische Dracht, ein von Außerirdischen erbautes und von einer KI namens Allwissen gesteuertes Raumschiff, fliegt sie mit einem Fünftel der Lichtgeschwindigkeit von System zu System. Doch dann beschleunigt das Schiff plötzlich – und anscheinend unaufhaltbar. Hat das Allwissen die Kontrolle über den Antrieb verloren? Oder verfolgt es etwa seine eigenen Pläne? Denn der neue Kurs des Raumschiffs zielt auf einen Planeten, der eigentlich noch längst nicht Ziel der menschlich-außerirdischen Crew gewesen wä die Erde.

Can the Draught be diverted and can Eve be safe?

Something has wrestled control of the dark matter drive of the Draught from the Omniscience. Marchenko and the Omniscience try and find out what has changed their destination and won't allow it to be changed.
Meanwhile Eve is in a ship that is too low on fuel to effectively land on the planet of Sirius A b. Fortunately, the former LEM of another Messenger mission is orbiting the planet...
Marchenko's investigations reveal that something on the planet is vital to understanding the problem with the dark matter drive, making it more important to get to Eve, who is rapidly being left behind by the Draught.Adam sets out to try and reach Eve...
Another entertaining take in the Proximal logfiles saga.

I'm ready for the story to end

This has been Int Of my favorite series from Morris, but I'm ready for it to end. My complaint from the first book has returned, as even the robots are now Neurotic and whiney. Could we get some Characters with a little bit of character?

This book was more about describing dust than developing a story until the last few chapters, and by then i only wanted it to be over.

Looking forward to Adam and Eve making it home, and we all know they will since every Character in the series is invincible or has more lives than my last three cats combined.

Great story

Gret story line.Good to see the characters grow and work as a team even with the Grosnops. Merchancho is a valued member in any story.
