The Architect

Humanity's Leap, Book 2

De: C.S. Garrand

Narrado por: Patricia Santomasso

We didn't know what to expect when we jumped through the Leap Point. We certainly didn't anticipate finding that humans had been out here before. We thought we were the first to leave our star system, but we we're wrong.

Maybe Hegemony was correct. Maybe we are just blundering our way from discovery to discovery, and it's only a matter of time before we encounter something in the vast darkness that takes a real bite out of us.

It would certainly help if the government had our back. If they weren't trying to seize our assets, arrest our executives and sic a murderous AI on us, we could probably put a solid foot forward into the galaxy, for all our sakes.

Gripping sequel to Species Seventeen

A rollercoaster of action and plot twists I didn’t see coming. I keep going back to the character development aspect in this series - there are a lot of them. But the author does a great job of keeping them distinct and relevant. The way the story ended, there has to be a book 3, right? Right??

great stuff! I've really enjoyed this series so far.

I'm definitely looking forward to the next book. I love the direction it is going overall. there's a lot to enjoy here in the reading, but there's an AI that just steals the show in these novels and she is written very well. the narrator is perfect to accentuate this.

Science Fiction at its best!

Overview

We didn't know what to expect when we jumped through the Leap Point. We certainly didn't anticipate finding that humans had been out here before. We thought we were the first to leave our star system, but we were wrong.

Maybe Hegemony was correct. Maybe we are just blundering our way from discovery to discovery, and it's only a matter of time before we encounter something in the vast darkness that takes a real bite out of us.

It would certainly help if the government had our back. If they weren't trying to seize our assets, arrest our executives, and sic a murderous AI on us, we could probably put a solid foot forward into the galaxy—for all our sakes.
