The Trials by Linda Nagata

3.0

This is the second volume of Red trilogy. While I was extremely satisfied with the first volume, the continuation was much weaker. The first volume introduced a wealth of ideas, from exoskeleton-using solders to AI, which plays against ‘military-industrial complex’. The second just continues from what the first one introduced but neither introduces notable new twists nor new points of view on the situation. Maybe this is the foundation for the third volume, but per se this book looks like cashing off the success of the first volume.
