- Book 2 of 3: Tapache's Promise Trilogy
Splintered minds. A hidden city. Alien evolution directed by thought alone.
Seventy years have passed since Kera unlocked the secrets of the dummy node, and the Administration reigns supreme. But all is not as it seems. Half-minds satisfy the Administration's ruling class, and now the true leader wants to emerge from the shadows.
Meanwhile, on the desolate plains of Barrenscape, an attempt to trap the Breaker goes awry, unveiling an ancient structure from a time so distant that even the Vaesians have forgotten. The Breaker's lair may have been found, but it's not what anyone expected.
Will the burgeoning power of the Administration be enough to combat the enemy lurking outside Fadin? Will the true nature of the Source finally be revealed?
Diyan searches. Yena waits. Paran explores. What of Kera?
BOOK 2 OF THE TAPACHE'S PROMISE TRILOGY, SET IN THE WANDERER UNIVERSE.
Cerebral Sci-Fi with an emphasis on the 'Sci'. If you enjoy Hard Sci-Fi, complex Space Opera, and authors such as Iain M. Banks, Alastair Reynolds and Dan Simmons, then this is for you.
"So all the twists and turn and reveals in book 1? Yeah, still did nothing to prepare me for just how deep down the rabbit hole this book was going to go. This is hard sci-fi that tends to lean more philosophical and towards AI and neural networks than the physics side - though there is quite a bit of playing with physics. There is quite a bit of action too, especially with the Nesch. This book jumps between a few characters/locations which made it a faster paced book than 1. Way more going in in general and sometimes the motivations were, well, totally alien. So you have the overt goals and conflicts and then just layers of other motivations and history driving the action and characters. Really engrossing read." - Goodreads Reviewer
"Overall this book took everything great and intriguing from the first book and made it better. It should go without saying that you ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY need to read the first book here, but book two jumps ahead seventy years, and really opens up the immense, impressive world building of book one. You get a lot more info and backstory on the Nesch (some of my favorite sci-fi creatures I think), the Alpuri, the Administration, the Breaker, the Source, plus more motivations on characters from the first book. Also, we get a pretty great villain. Another thing I really like about this book is the beginning. We get some pretty grisly, horror-adjacent stuff happening. Overall, the first book did a great job starting a new trilogy full of (at first) complicated ideas, ideologies, politics, species, and planets. Book two expands on them expertly, in some very interesting, mind-blowing, mind-altering, high-concept ways. To say I'm incredibly excited about book three would be an understatement. Anyone who's a fan of the first book MUST get this one. Anyone on the fence, I'm personally telling you this is a great hard sci-fi series." - Goodreads Reviewer
"The stage is set. I cannot wait for the finale of the Tapache's Promise trilogy!" - Goodreads Reviewer
"I can't wait for the conclusion. This is one of the best sci-fi series I've read in at least a decade! Highly recommended!" - Goodreads Reviewer
"I inhaled it and will read it again." - Goodreads Reviewer
"I cannot explain how good this book is." - Goodreads Reviewer
