Volume One:
When Nevon wakes up from being in a car wreck so many things have changed. He is in a strange new place, he is white, and everything is more advanced. As hard to believe as it is he has found himself on another planet due to the intervention of some alien beings. Now he must face the perils that came with the body he now inhabits, the Nevon of Errat. Can Nevon survive the murder attempts on his life all while trying to figure out who he is and his place on this strange new world?
Nevon is a male chauvinist pig and I cannot stand him. He is a terrible character and Konstantin has heard more than my fair share of judgments against this character. Bratan is much the same and the females are ludicrous. Honestly, I have never met individuals like those in this book and frankly hope that I never will.
That is not to say that the book is bad. It isn't. It is a sci-fi book with a lot of technical aspects that were well explained.
Volume Two:
Nevon, Nuna, and Dowagen have left their home behind and are now travelling to the North in order to fulfill the edict put into place by the creator of the machines. There is one problem. Bratan. He reported the car they were in as stolen and they have now had their identities revoked for the next month. That means that can't drive anywhere, they can't buy anything, and they can't use any kind of communication devices. Can the trio face the elements once more and make it where they need to go?
Book two picks up roughly where book one left off. There are more exciting elements to this one. I still can't say that I like the characters, but the plot held my interest and I wanted to know as much as possible about the space elevator.
Volume Three:
Now that Nevon is on his own and controls the AIs he must still contend with the human military. However, things are not as they seem and there is a second authorized user who may complicate matters.
Book three again picks up where book two left off. This one's translation is a bit rougher than book twos as the author is German, but things happen. I still can't stand the characters in the book, but the trilogy does not end the story. There is still more to lean as it progresses, whenever that shall happen.
The takeaway:
All in all this trilogy isn't bad. It has a lot of very technical aspects sometimes over explained, the characters are terrible people that you won't be upset to see die when/if they do. That being said, the story is entertaining and there is a new character introduced in volume 3 book that gives me some measure of hope that not everyone will always be terrible. With some editing so the translation isn't so rough there is real promise.
This trilogy is available on Amazon for $9.99 by clicking here.
