Amari

Amari By Steven Atwood
Amari is a science fiction, dystopian future, space adventure where the UN took over the running of the known universe after the GFC. They became power hungry tyrants that basically became thought police. They shipped people off to Mars to be “Re-educated” in the mines and others who escaped colonised Europa and beyond, creating places ripe for piracy and black market trading.
I think I was hoping for Firefly and was sorely disappointed. I also thought I could read around the religious aspects of the book but couldn't. The idea that all the religious people were calm and righteous and all those against religion were cruel, callous and fear their own death more than anything else really grated on me. Mainly because I read science fiction because it reflects the world quite well and I don't see this as the way the world is. Simple being religious does not suddenly make you a perfect person as it seemed to do in this story.
The further you go in the book the more grammatical errors there are, which slows down the reading process dramatically.
If religion is the saviour of you world and you like science fiction with that flavour, this would be a great book for you but not me.
I received this book from Library Thing's Members Giveaways.
