Bishop, Ash

Audiences will be rooting for Bobby as he desperately seeks the truth. With this unique mystery, Bishop offers a fun, if murderous way to explore fate, free will, divine intervention, and science.

This largely misses the mark. Libraries may want to take a pass.

Bishop’s sci-fi debut is recommended for readers who think Larry Correia’s “Monster Hunter International” series should go intergalactic, those who enjoy stories featuring the people who get the dirty jobs done, and especially anyone who wishes that Martha Wells’s Murderbot would become a superhero.
