A year after the battle for Skulltown and Silt's defeat, Solus is still trying to find a way to restore his status window. Straying deeper into the wastes, he searches for his original sphere, hoping that perhaps it can offer him a solution. Instead, he stumbles upon an ancient hidden installation and finds an AI of a different caliber. It might have the knowledge to help him, but is it trustworthy enough?
On the return trip, Solus meets a new adversary: a new kind of undead that is almost as powerful as himself. When he finally manages to return to Skulltown, he finds that he isn't the only one that these strange new undead have attacked.
As more and more mindless and highly aggressive undead begin to appear, disturbing news arrives from beyond Skulltown. Black rifts are appearing in the wasteland, ejecting both sentient and mindless undead. The only one who may have the solution is also the one least likely to help him: Scathia, the mysterious leader of Silt, the one who awoke Vingria, and the one who seems bent on world domination.
J. Carrarn is a forty-year-old husband, and father of one who lives in the Netherlands. Most of the day, he sits behind a computer, solving software problems. For over thirty years, he has been spending his free time reading whatever fantasy and sci-fi he could get his hands on, from Tolkien to Dan Simons’ Hyperion. If he wasn’t reading, he was playing fantasy and sci-fi games.
Nowadays, the time he doesn’t read or write books, he spends with his wife and son, hits the gym, or cooks Italian food.
Jesus this had very little of what I enjoyed with book 1. The mc with all of his two additional evolutions, seemed to get dumber! At the 61% mark, he walks right into trap anyone should have seen coming. When he first meets the leader of a rival city, she's puppeting a different body. (This didnt spark any red flags to him)She tells him to come so she can give him information about new enemies. This was before he was betrayed again by one of his "companions". Along the journey, he just DOES things. Like, with no reason. Like a toddler. When he makes it to said rival city, he's actually surprised the the leader wanted to use or enslave his will. (I nearly dropped the book right here.) I wouldn't recommend this series to anyone.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
The continued adventures of Solus takes us to finally meet Scathia and then into fighting extradimensional enemies with hardly a break in the action. The evolution comes slower in this one which was a disappoint, and I'm curious to see where the author will go with book 3 if one comes.
