A review by elisa_menz
Identity Crisis: Book One of the Arbiter Trilogy by Clayton Pulsipher
adventurous
hopeful
fast-paced
4.0
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
What an exciting debut novel! The first installment of the Arbiter Trilogy regals you with great world-building (or is it universe-building?), a variety of alien races, and a multiple-POV adventure that hardly slows down on the action.
Despite all the razzle and dazzle of spaceships and alien monsters, it's in concepts like a hive mind and synthetic intelligence this novel shines. It raises some interesting questions about the unhinged advancement of technology and the moral grounds some people are willing to stomp on in the name of "progress."
I recommend this to SciFi fans. You'll find a refreshing mix of Avatar and Star Wars with a sprinkle of The Martian at the end.
