The Lives of Tao by Wesley Chu
4.0
What is the common thread of greatness that links titans of history like Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, and Napoleon? Is it some vital spark of knowledge or inspiration? The sheer will to power? Is greatness found in the human spirit, or the human genome? Or did they all have an invisible alien brain worm telling them what to do?
Oh, it's the last one? The alien brain worm thing? Well, glad that's sorted, then. Thanks, Wesley Chu.
The Lives of Tao is an imaginative and fast-paced sci-fi thriller that, like its titular alien brain worm, manages to be intimate and epoch-spanning at once. I'm really looking forward to the sequel, and whatever Mr. Chu comes up with next.
