Ashton, Edward

Ashton (Antimatter Blues) offers a technothriller with heart that will appeal to fans of the “Murderbot Diaries” from Martha Wells but also to readers looking for more AI-led stories like Day Zero by C. Robert Cargill and Emergent Properties by Aimee Ogden.

A nonstop SF adventure from beginning to end.

Ashton’s novel begins as farce and ends as something considerably deeper; as an Expendable, Mickey7 is able to ask what makes someone human or who has the right to destroy a place in order to occupy it. Highly recommended for readers of colonization SF.
