I just finished Antimatter Blues by Edward Ashton, A Mickey 7 Novel and here is my review.
Mickey Barnes is still alive, go figure! Things are a little different for Mickey now but it's not a bad life. The problem is that the antimatter that fuels the colony is running out and Commander Marshall, the reason Mickey is still alive, wants his bomb back. He wants Mickey to go get it. If he says no, everyone is doomed but the creepers aren't going to give it up without getting something better in return. So many things can go wrong and this time, he may not come back in one piece.
This book was pretty interesting but I didn't read book one and this book really does need you to have read the first installment.
What did I like? I loved the storyline. It was clever and fast with some really excellent storytelling.
What didn't I like? That I didn't pick up book one first. It truly had me gripped from start to finish. I also heard they are making this into a movie so that should be entertaining as all heck! The plot was wonderfully detailed and I usually don't enjoy Sci-fi books this much so if this is your kind of genre, GRAB IT!! Don't walk... RUN. Grab both books and settle in for the ride of your life.
I found I was really endeared by Mickey and the level of creativity that went into this book was truly delightful!
4 stars but I am going to admit it would have been higher had I had read the first installment first haha
