Amari is a science fiction, dystopian future, space
adventure where the UN took over the running of the known universe after the
GFC. They became power hungry tyrants that basically became thought police.
They shipped people off to Mars to be “Re-educated” in the mines and others who
escaped colonised Europa and beyond, creating places ripe for piracy and black
market trading.
I think I was hoping for Firefly and was sorely disappointed. I also thought I could read around the religious
aspects of the book but couldn’t. The idea that all the religious people were
calm and righteous and all those against religion were cruel, callous and fear their
own death more than anything else really grated on me. Mainly because I read
science fiction because it reflects the world quite well and I don’t see this
as the way the world is. Simple being religious does not suddenly make you a
perfect person as it seemed to do in this story.
The further you go in the book the more grammatical errors
there are, which slows down the reading process dramatically.
If religion is the saviour of you world and you like science
fiction with that flavour, this would be a great book for you but not me.
I received this book from Library Thing’s Members Giveaways. 2.5 stars out of 5
