About this listen

We don't know when it happened. But somewhere an alien species built a strong artificial intelligence. The A.I. became independent, powerful, and it started killing biological infestations - life - any life, all life. It has been killing life forms ever since as it grew into a vast armada of death.

Jon Hawkins and his team captured the A.I. destroyer invading the solar system. The genocidal assault should have been over, but it's not.

An alien A.I. strand from the cybership survived in the distant Kuiper Belt. The strand has been multiplying and taking over by turning people into robots in order to build another supership. The human race is in a grim war for survival against the most relentless, most ruthless enemy in the galaxy.

The A.I. Gene is a novel of military science fiction by best-selling author Vaughn Heppner and the second book in the A.I. series.

It felt a bit like making up for time not spent developing the story and characters in the first book so in comparison it's much slower. The huge spans of time and slightly unbelievable scale on which everything is happening is also much more apparent in this book than the last but I'm glad I spent I credit and the time to listen to it.

A strong sequel with issues

The fist book in the series held great promise and the struggle against the AI was tangible. In this second book, everything is over in a flash. After a long build up the final AI battle is feeble and ultimately unfulfilling, lazy even.

Let's hope the third book isn't as rushed.

Shallow and rushed
