Finished reading Nexus uprising its a really great page turner. And I think stands in it own right even without the game. Really interesting insights into old MW politics and grudges and how they play out or don't with the 'fresh start'. Not saying any more so not to do spoilers but will give great insight into some of the conflicts we walk into related to the new Initiative leadership and the fall out from the the Scourge. I seriously recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading decent story driven sci fi and at this moment that gives us a solid grounding for where we start.  |

Thanks. I have it. I had to finish reading another book before I started this one. I look forward to it.

I read the first couple of chapters sample. Wasn't impressed at all. Maybe it gets better.

How does it compare to the other ME books? Not the worst of them, but doesn't look like an award winner to me. I read the first couple of chapters sample. Wasn't impressed at all. Maybe it gets better. Not much, I've read about 1/3 of it and something still feels off. |

Then some silly modern slang thrown in. Meh. But I'm a grumpy old man.. |

Yeah but that was the point of one of the story themes... a strong visionary that everyone bought into as much if not more than the idea. An almost messianic belief, nice undercurrents of searching for the promised land. And then what happens when all you're left with is the vision... and no visionary leadership |

Maybe it gets better. Not much, I've read about 1/3 of it and something still feels off. Well to be fair I'm not looking for award winning fiction I'm looking for a decent story based in the ME universe. I think this did more character work than any of the other other ME books and necessarily so as its very much about relationship interplay and sentient being (can't say just human but you get my meaning) behaviour under stress. It does raise some of its issues in a bit of a ham fisted way, but again this is not literary sci fi we are getting back story and context. |
