After almost dying on Mars, astronaut Liz Anderson returns to Earth, but not to a hero's welcome. America is in turmoil. The war is over, but the insurgency has just begun. So while life on Mars may have been deadly, at least up there she knew who the enemy was. Along with her, Liz has brought the remnants of the artificial intelligence that waged war on two planets. Buried somewhere deep within the cold electronic circuits lies the last vestiges of her dead partner Jianyu. Liz is torn, unsure whether he's somehow still alive in electronic form or just a ploy by an adversary that will go to any length to win. Heartbroken and treated with suspicion, she finds herself caught up in the guerrilla war being waged on Earth, wondering if the AI threat is truly gone, or if it has only just begun.

Recension

"It's good to consider the A.I. possibilities ahead. Peter Cawdron's Reentry is a marvelous read but also an intriguing scenario for what might go on within the superintelligences." -- Vernor Vinge, Hugo Award-winning author of A Fire Upon the Deep and A Deepness in the Sky

"In Reentry, Peter Cawdron combines the best traits of high-end speculative fiction--vivid characters, big ideas, action, empathy . . . oh, and more big ideas." -- David Brin, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of the Uplift saga

"Gripping, cerebral . . . with scientific detail that will please fans of hard science fiction, Cawdron raises interesting questions about the nature of consciousness. The story sets itself apart from tales that revel in dystopia by imagining what comes after, as humans and A.I.s learn to collaborate." -- Publishers Weekly

Eagerly anticipated book, did not disappoint

Granskad i Australien den 20 juli 2019

All the old friends are back again in Peter’s latest work. A thoroughly enjoyable, well-researched book, as we’ve come to expect, which not only provides the fast-paced action we love, but also prompts questions on a deeper level, like, what makes us human? What future is AI in our lives - for good, or for bad...
Highly recommend this if you’ve read the previous story, if not, what are you waiting for?

I've been reading Cawdron for awhile now. I find his work to be intelligent and human always with some subtle surprises. He even wrote a vampire and a zombie book which were excellent. This is a good one. Highly recommended.

Engaging, Solid near future science. Keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Granskad i USA den 19 januari 2020

Vine kundrecension av gratisprodukt( Vad är detta? )

The hardest part of reading this book is putting it down. As a Sci-Fi reader, the science has an appeal to me and this book nails it. It bases itself in near possibility science so it is highly believable and relatable. So when things get heated you find yourself reading faster and faster.

The story is that of a set of astronauts returning to Earth, after a disaster on a Mars colony. The disaster was caused by a rogue AI and also caused the death of the boyfriend of Liz, one of the astronauts returning. He was a teammate of the other two people from China, so close to them all. At the time of his death, they believed the AI uploaded his consciousness and he was essentially entombed in some harddrives they brought back to Earth. This seems far fetched, but quite believable in the context of the book. These are not your run of the mill AI’s but ones who have become self-aware.

The Earth they return to, appears scorched and burned from various explosions. They find out, AI’s on Earth have wreaked havoc as well and have launched missiles all around the globe. No one country was a target, but all have suffered. At the time Liz the main character astronaut returns, the government that greets her is in tatters and has her believe that the current peacetime was due to conquering the AIs here as well with only a few more pockets of hidden ones to conquer.

Before long Liz wonders who is in power and what is her role on Earth. Is she a hero for destroying the AI on Mars, or a scapegoat as she is harboring hard drives containing her boyfriend’s consciousness?

I found this had quite a few twists in it and did not anticipate the outcome. Great read

Final Pages of a Chopped Narrative

Granskad i USA den 24 maj 2019

Vine kundrecension av gratisprodukt( Vad är detta? )

I didn’t know when ordering this item that it isn’t a book. It’s the second half of a complete novel which should have been of a Peter Hamilton novel length but was somewhat arbitrarily chopped in half at a lull in the action. Since this isn’t the second volume in a series, but rather a continuation of the story, I spent the first hundred or so pages confused as to who the characters (some of who are bizarrely named) were and what had happened in the first few chapters to put them in this situation.

I had a bit of a handle on things by that mark but I’m also sure that I got a good deal less out of this book than I’d have gotten had I read the first part of the book before the second. Since the second spoils the first, I’ll live without the ‘what came before’ part.

I saw no big themes such as the oft-cited, “What does it mean to be human?” It’s an absurd sophomoric question which only serves to keep a meaningless conversation going, anyway. I can’t think of any purpose to chatter about the Ship of Theseus but I suppose some derive amusement from same but with humanity substituted for a boat.

Here we have a protagonist who is both utterly unlikable and improbable mostly narrating her own actions with copious blather tossed in about her feelings to the point of exceeding my glurge limit. We’re told she’s a biologist but we also learn in the first few pages of this book half that she’s obsessed with the smell of intestinal gas, is unsure if cocoa plants grow in Belgium and starts crying when a crewmate suffers a minor head injury.

In sum, I found the book to be opaque, written in an uninteresting style and with a narrator I’d prefer to never have met. On the plus side, I didn’t, in the initial parts of the book, predict how things would turn out. I had no idea how this would finish and when it did, it surprised and delighted me. In the end, I strongly recommend against reading this novel before its predecessor. As to reading them both, there are more reviews than mine many of which are favorable so I see it as a tossup.

A.I., Cooperation or Conflict?

Granskad i USA den 17 maj 2019

Vine kundrecension av gratisprodukt( Vad är detta? )

Steven Hawking warned of an "intelligence explosion" in which machine intelligence vastly exceeds that of humans. This happens in ReEntry. Not only that, but these electronic geniuses gain autonomy. They exist in the electric grid and internet and when threatened by humans they take action.
We see the drama unfold thru the eyes of Liz Anderson who returns from Mars under a cloud of suspicion. On Mars she knew who the enemy was and destroyed the A.I. source. When she gets back to Earth she comes to a different conclusion as she communicates with Lucifer an A.I. entity.
This book is a nice blend of action and scientific speculation. It is chilling to think of electronic beings existing in the electric grid or in one's electronic devices. Will these beings be benign or malignant? Maybe they're goal oriented and the harm they cause is unintended. Say they need a power plant located where one lives so they destroy your house and you along with it. Thought provoking! How will humans fare against such superior intellects?
This novel is action packed and sure to keep the reader flipping the pages. It would make a great movie, but best of all it will get whoever reads it to think while enjoying a splendid roller coaster ride.
