Synopsis:

A collection of
short stories from Asher's Polity Universe, his Owner universe and
some general SF shorts.
My
Thoughts:
|
Really, my previous review still stands. Asher just unloads several
times on anything “religious” and even in one of his intro's to a
story admits that's exactly what he is doing. Makes me wonder why the
vitriol. His wife hadn't died yet, so it wasn't like he was blaming
God for that. In fact, now that his wife has passed on, I've noticed
LESS bashing of religion in his books. Thankfully, I knew this was an
element in this book so it didn't shock me like it did the first time
around. Scyenze is Asher's god, he just won't admit it.
I enjoyed the Owner stories a lot this time around as I now had the
Owner trilogy under my literary belt. Did make me want to add them to
my tbr. Once I finish up my Polity re-read, I'll probably re-read the
Owner books to tide me over until Asher's Jain trilogy wraps up.
There was a story about the Hive (turns out Wasps are sentient
creatures) and I have to admit I would like a trilogy about them at
some point. I doubt it will happen and I'd be ok with just some more
short stories, but since I'm wishing, a trilogy is what I want.
