The Ai War

Summary: Will Silicon based life replace Carbon based life?
Review: Across three universes, AI's battle humans for domination. The origins of the AI war go back millions of years to another universe, and involve "more than human" telepathic, transmuts who were apparently computer generated simulacra created by the "Founders" who have "moved on". The high tech concepts, and ancient martial arts and military action blend together to form an exciting read

Summary: Pure Military Action
Review: This is very well done non-stop military sci-fi. If that is what you like, then up my ranking. It is impressive and exciting. For those of you wanting an all-around book, don't even waste your time. There is enough character development in the entire book to fill half a chapter in most. The characters (there are many) all have similar names, and you have to refer to the (necessary) dramatis personae repeatedly, unless you choose to simply not know who is who, in which case you would lose little. D'Trelna is fat, that is about as big a difference as you get. Another matter is these insectoids. They are really bad. For one thing, they are supposed to have been defeated at one point by humans, even though by my reckoning one of them is more valuable in a war effort than a hundred men. They can instantly move themselves and others from one place to another, read minds, and leap tall buildings in a single bound. There are some surprises, and the action is good. Read it if that is what you want. If you want to find the story very believable and care more than a little who wins/loses and lives/dies, pass it up.
