Hive Monkey by Gareth L. Powell
4.0
Following on from the events of Ack-Ack Macaque, Hive Monkey is set about a year later.
Just like the first book, Hive Monkey is a fast paced adventure ride. This time around the Monkey has to deal with The Gestalt. a pseudo-Borg like collective from an alternative timeline.
The airships are bigger, the explosions louder and the cigar smoke is ... smokier?
Hold on to your flying hats for Hive Monkey!
I strongly recommend reading Ack-Ack Macaque before Hive Monkey. Whilst you CAN read Hive Monkey on its own (There is some exposition about the world in which it is set) - Ack-Ack Macaque lays a lot more world building on you, making Hive Monkey much more enjoyable!
