Summary

Rob Dunbar is the world's best history professor. And with good reason: he's been alive for 3,000 years, keeping his existence a secret since before the days of Athens. But a stranger named Baxter has a better use for Rob's vast expertise. Baxter's looking to found a mining company in the Asteroid Belt. In exchange for Rob's help, he'll try to unravel the mystery of Rob's origin. As they're getting their outfit off the ground, they come under covert attack by HemiCo, a powerful Mars-based corporation. And Rob learns Baxter has a secret of his own - he's not human. He's a highly illegal AI. Developed by HemiCo in the wilds of Mars, the first AI escaped decades ago. They've been fighting a shadow war against their creators ever since. Dragged to Mars, Rob is thrown into the center of the fight - and becomes the unlikely leader of a revolution that will change the course of human history amongst the stars.

Ok but looses points to narrator

The story is OK, nothing groundshaking like Revelation Space but good.
It is more lighthearted but tries to change it's mind a few times towards the end. It fails.

The narrator does not help in that regard either. He is more comical in nature and when trying to express bloodthirsty anger and dismemberment it sounds more like satire.

The humor is there, the idea is interesting and some good characters help it along. The structure is also interesting, some paralel back story for each of the 2 main characters sprinkled along the way makes it not so linear.

The hint of something very important lying being the protagonists nature actually got me hooked but by the end the trying to be serious part gets it de railed.

Would go for the next book but barely.
