Entities in a single moment.

I would love to blame my initial confusion with this book on it being the last of a trilogy, and that I had not read the earlier books. True, I didn't see the first: Saviour, but I did read the second: The Victor's Heritage, earlier this year. It didn't help. By the time the story started on a more regular progression, I had lost interest. And, if I'm honest, I would have preferred the more galactic aspect of the Oort cloud meteorite threatening world annihilation and even the internal wrangling over the failure of the Augment, despite having to swallow conversation like, 'There is a way to access the Augment...The night manoeuvre involved circulating consciousness nano sensors arranged to match the Neuro profile of the agent. You launch into the server bank at a strategic intersection and you wait a track....' And so on, or something like that.

There are some superb phrases, 'Everything flows, everything's water' , 'His face was drawn and quartered by age and sadness', and somewhere there is a great vision, it just gets bogged down in trivia and multi directions as if the author couldn't make up his mind about the direction of the novel. Or perhaps it is me, frustrated by the tedium and confusion. The narrator, Dane Peterson, works hard, delivers well, but couldn't save the experience for me. I received a freely gifted complimentary copy of
Saints of David, from the rights holder at my request, via Audiobook Boom. Thank you.
