Grubane (Lost Tales Of Solace Book 2) by Karl Drinkwater

3.0

Grubane is another little novella set in the Lost Solace series. I have not read said series, but I did read Helene, which is book one in the Lost Tales of Solace novella set. And I rather enjoyed that one. Grubane follows a commander on a UFS ship as he discovers he may have to commit genocide to bring a planet to heel. Along with his AI, Aurikaa, Grubane will use his knowledge of chess to do things his own way. But will he succeed?

Lots of action, and full of twists. Even readers who haven't tackled the main series can read this novella and get a feel for the character of Grubane. Plus, who doesn't love unique AIs?

I'd recommend this novella to fans of the main series, or fans of sci-fi in general. It's definitely an interesting read.

3.5 stars.
