Day Zero by C. Robert Cargill
4.0
4.25/5 Stars
Sea of Rust, the first book written in this series (but a sequel to this), is one of my favorite "popcorn" sci-fi books. So, it'll be no surprise that I was both anxious and excited to read its new prequel. I'm happy to report that it met my expectations. Now, that's not to say it was better than its predecessor, but it was equally fast paced, interesting, and had overall enjoyable characters and narrative.
The "flaws" here are that it felt considerably shorter and a bit too heavy handed in its philosophical musings on self will and identity. Those nitpicks aside, I still highly recommend this to anyone who liked the first book or fans of robots and/or dystopian futures.
