Unexploded Remnants

by Elaine Gallagher

[Quirky Cat]

Book Summary:

Alice fell down the rabbit hole, and now she’s the last human. No, really. She was transported to another place in the galaxy, where she was treated with respect for her knowledge of Earth.

Now, she works as a space archeologist, delving into histories and uncovering precious artifacts. This is how she found herself possessing a very dangerous artifact - an A.I. full of knowledge people would kill to have.

My Review:

Unexploded Remnants was SUCH a fun read! I wish this book was the start of a series because I would read a hundred adventures with Alice at the helm. We’ve got space, archeology, AI threats, you name it. It’s perfect.

Even though we only got to know them briefly, it’s clear the characters had rich backstories in Unexploded Remnants (again, I wish we could explore this further). Alice, her allies, and even some enemies felt real and very present.

Then there’s the politics of this universe. We have a group of (almost?) altruistic space archeologists going up against, well…pretty much everyone else? It’s hard to explain, but there’s SO MUCH potential here. I want more.

Unexploded Remnants take a lot of big swings in a short time, and most of them land. It was fun, dark at times, and full of emotion. It’s the perfect read if you’re looking for something different.
