James Bushill

Adam by James Bushill is a sci-fi book that reminds me of a mix between Stephen King's Christine, the movie Duel, and Frankenstein. There is so much going on, making a machine that has human cells that can think, has emotions, and uses those emotions yet has the benefits of tech power and brains behind him. I could not help but be on Team Adam, I know, I am sick. Corps have it coming sometimes. The actions, adventure, thrills, emotions, suspense, and dialogue are great. The plot is non-stop and full of twists. The characters, good and bad, are complex and believable, even Adam. I loved this book. Great job. I received this book from NetGalley for a honest review and it in no way effected my review or rating.… (més)

When communication between Adam and the mining company on Earth are interrupted and the supply of platinum stops, a team of humans is sent to rectify the situation.

The character development is good. The storyline and pace are excellent as the humans find themselves at a disadvantage in pitting their wits against the supercomputer in a hostile environment. The book is interesting and ingenious.… (més)
