I almost hate to give this book such a low rating, but it was boring. The concept is really cool. I love thought experiments like this, and I think the idea of an Expendable is a great way to explore it. Besides maybe Mickey7, the characters didn’t feel fleshed out enough for me to really care too much about them. It’s difficult to accurately pin down my grievances with the characters because I can understand what role they are meant to represent, but I still find them bland.
I really appreciated Ashton’s way of explaining things that would normally be over my head. Even though this book is science fiction, I never felt like I had to do mental backflips to justify the explanation for something—it was all explained in a very sound manner.
The twist was definitely interesting, but happens too quickly.
This is a very cool book, but just a little bit boring. I’d definitely recommend it to a friend, especially one who had played any entry from the Nonary Games series, since I was reminded of those games a few times while reading this.
