Ack-Ack Macaque by Gareth L. Powell
4.0
What a great title for the book, and the brief synopsis of the book kinda forced me into getting this as part of an Audible deal.
This is a fun book, doesn't take its self seriously, and has some good moments. The macaque in question is great, but its not all about him. In fact, he plays a fairly small part considering. The story revolves around the idea of downloading the human soul and uploading it into another. Nothing new there, and the science is not fully explored, but it does give us a basis for a story.
The setting is also strange. It is set in the future, but they have massive airships of the past, that are self contained sovereignty.
This is the first book in the series, and the second was also on Audible offer, so i grabbed that as well. Will be getting round to that when i need a light hearted read.
