The Medusa Chronicles: “Jupiter Within” (6.54-6.67)
This setting has potential. This story never had any.
The Medusa Chronicles: Peace Envoy (5.44-53)
Last time on The Medusa Chronicles: we destroyed Earth.
This time on The Medusa Chronicles: we destroy my investment in the story.
The Medusa Chronicles (4.33-4.43)
I will say, destroying Earth at the two thirds point of your scifi novel is something I haven't seen before.
The Medusa Chronicles (3.24-32)
The medusae got to be people because they didn't have anything that the humans wanted. But guess what? It turns out that they DO have something that humans want now.
The Medusa Chronicles (3.22-23)
We had a character last arc whose name sounded cardassian. Now, we have a character who just plain sounds like one.
The Medusa Chronicles (3.18-21)
We're meeting a medusa. It's about time this sequel starting doing sequel things, you know? Let's see how it goes.
The Medusa Chronicles (2.15-17)
If there was one single human character in this book, with the possible exception of Falcon, who wasn't an absolutely insufferable douchelord, I'd have some serious reservations about what Falcon just did in this chapter.
The Medusa Chronicles, Chapter 2: Adam (2.8-9)
Don't worry, it gets much better in a couple more chapters.
The Medusa Chronicles Chapter 1: Encounter in the Deep (parts 2-3)
=So far, my verdict on this book is "wake me up when the talking chimps are back."
The Medusa Chronicles (prologue)
I'm sort of wryly amused by this being a near-utopian optimistic vision of the future, but almost everyone in it being such an asshole. Climate change reversed, ecosystems restored, humanity unified under a democratic government, colonies on Mars, but you can't go a page through it without wishing Howard really did have built-in missile launchers he could use on these twats.
