WELCOME TO HELL CITY, MARS

Jimmy Martin has a sore head.

He's used to smuggling illegal data in his headspace. But this is the first time it has started talking to him.

The data claims to be a distinguished academic, author and civil rights activist.

It also claims to be a bear.

A bear named Honey.

Jimmy has nothing against bioforms - he's one himself, albeit one engineered out of human stock - and works with them everyday in Hell City, building the future, staking mankind's claim to a new world: Mars.

The problem is that humanity isn't the only entity with designs on the Red Planet. Out in the airless desert there is another presence. A novel intelligence, elusive, unknowable and potentially lethal.

And Honey is here to make contact with it, whether Jimmy likes it or not.

Sequels

Honestly the first book in this series was like Predators #1, a glorified war-action film with a larger anti-war and anti-authoritarian narrative. I enjoyed it but war is so vile that even a well written war novel is hard to focus on.

but this sequel, with the development of far-right politicians, aging, and uploaded consciences was fun. It all takes place on mars which is consistently a great setting for a sci-fi novel and probably boasted the my rating by 1/2 star alone.

if you are tchaikovsky pilled, read it. if no I got other books of his to recommend to you.
