Spiritus Ex Machina

G. Allen Wilbanks — 2021

Alexander Devin's life is about to change. Pulled from the edge of death, he wakes to find his mind has been preserved in a new body, a mechanical body that will never know pain, illness, or old age. But it is much more than that. Zander's mind has been downloaded into the Spector, an experimental, self-aware, long-distance star ship. For now, he is little more than an observer on board, a ghost in the machine. One day, if he can prove himself, he may be allowed full control over the ship. If not, he will be turned off and condemned to the Nothing. Zander will do anything to avoid the Nothing. A science fiction thriller from G. Allen Wilbanks.

** spoiler alert ** I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review, thank you! This review contains *SPOILERS*. Okay so I really liked this one! It took me about 30 minutes to read all the way through, but I think that’s the perfect length. I’m on a Sci fi kick right now so this was perfect! It was predictable, the moment I read he was integrated into the ships systems I knew he was going to kill the captain, but that didn’t take away from my enjoyment at all. The captain was right, he definitely accelerated the process of fracturing Zanders remaining consciousness by continuously disconnecting him. There actually isn’t much about this I would like to see changed, though I would like to see what happens when they finally realise the Spector isn’t going to show up. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
