Book review: Arcadia's Children 5: Samantha's War by Andrew R. Williams


 

Synopsis

Samantha is under threat, and like most sentient beings, that is when she’s at her most dangerous. After another failed deactivation attempt by her mysterious creator Walter Verex, she sets out for revenge by hiring a group of Spitzer mercenaries to take him out. At the same time, she attempts to neutralise anyone else that stands against her. Mick Tarmy, Claire Hyndman and Nonie Tomio are again in danger and, with financial backing from Alan Hyndman, join forces with Alton Mygael and Allus Wren to end the threat once and for all.

About the Author

By day mild mannered Andrew R. Williams is a chartered surveyor.... but after twilight falls, he snatches up his pen and the writing takes control. The Fyfield Plantation is Andrew's second creation, and the third Arcadia's Children instalment pores out of Andrew on only the coldest and darkest of nights. When he isn't writing, or chartering surveying, Andrew spends time with his wife Geraldine, staring up at the stars, and plotting eventual world domination. Don't let that calm demeanour and easy smile fool you, oh no.

Review

And the action continues to grow in this, the 5th book of the series. Ending with a hint of another book. Action follows this budding series across the universe while universe keep on intriguing me.

I have found this book more enjoyable than the previous book. Maybe it is because everything is beginning to make sense or because of the character development, but I enjoyed this book more.

Samantha started of as an insecure ‘person’ with no place, always on the run but in book 5 she is stepping into her own. And owns it.

The author describes an adventurous story of alien invasion in a very vivid and convincing way that helps to turn the pages. Each character is drawn with great credibility and integrity, which makes this a great read.  

A series I can recommend for any science fiction reader.
