Enjoy Astraeus Station (Technomancer, #2) Assembled By D.L. Harrison Copy

many ways this book is more Fantasy than Science Fiction,
In most SciFi books I expect the science to be impossible, but I want to be able to suspend my disbelief and just accept that this could happen.
Unfortunately as Scott was producing millions of warships from nothing, all I could think was this is just ridiculous.

I was also disappointed with the big space battles, which consisted mainly of millions of missiles wiping out everything in sight.
Even when they had a problem with the Grays that could have been a disaster, Diana just solves it in minutes.

Overall the story wasnt bad, which is why I will try the next book,
No challenge

No danger, The enemy never stood a chance,

At a certain point, the MC and his team are so over powered, . . millions of warships in less than a month and a half!!, . . it becomes ridiculous. Limitless power, matter/energy transmutation, nanotech, . . the magic that supposedly exists never really appeared in this book, It is functionally useless.

Then there is the sloppy writing, Typos litter the book, with homophones on every other page,

The first book had some promise, This one broke the promise, As good as the last one The Whole book felt like a rush job, The characters were in a rush everything was a rush, It was all going by in a blur, I don't have any clue what just happened or how or really why, I'm not even sure who all the characters were, Some of them just appeared without any introduction, I feel dizzy after reading this, Book two

Mistakes: I only found two in this short story, Both where incorrect words.
Plot: One small battle based on greed from nations on earth, One huge battle with invading aliens, The battle wasnt very detailed,
Characters: The Mc is fine, The support characters could be fleshed out some,
/The Stuff of Future Tech

Unbelievable That's what they said of Star Trek a and we have come to expect and rely on that technology, as unbelievable as it seemed at the time.
Nobody thought cell phones communicators could work, Space travel was not really thought about, Interracial relations, especially involving aliens, were constantly talked about and many improvements made although we still have a ways to go on that goal.
Magic in Technomancer Why not What we now call technology was once called magic, I thought Technomancer a work of genius, There were parts that seemed anachronistic such as, why use missiles But I appreciated that our heroes were human with human desires and goals, even to the point of falling in love, getting married, and possibly having children IN THE NORMAL WAY, so that the actual important things in life are not overshadowed by STUFF and technology.
I hope we can keep our focus on what is good in the flood of technology that is seemingly overwhelming us.
Not Exactly Enthralled

The authors note claims that the fantasy elements are tangential at best and not the focus in this series.
I might accept that prognosis except for the fact that the technology espoused is more fantasy than science, and that is a major part of the storyline.
So far there has not been a typical “hanging ending” but these first two books have left the reader with unanswered questions at the end of books one and two.
I enjoyed the story. Let me add that I had a part of my brain nagging me about so many things that didnt seem right.
I had to read it the same way I read superhero stories, In fact it is very much written like a superhero story in a SiFi setting, Very enjoyable

I enjoyed the book very much, I like the plot and the characters, I found four typos in the last half of the book, Rating.stars

I liked the first book, While it did have its problems it was still very interesting, This book took the issues I had with the first book and expanded them to a ridiculous level, Scott has his own space station now and has set him self up as a power, He is not a bad guy so he tries to help the people left on earth whenever he can.
The only way for him to work with earth is for him and his station to be considered its own nation and part of the UN.
That would allow for trade and give Scott protections, The problem is the US still thinks of him as a terrorist, This part is just too simplistic, Yes part of the government might think like that especially people in the military and counter intelligence but the US is not just one thing.
Scott kept saying the US government like it was one unified thing, In reality there is the President, Congress, Senate, Judges, and million other departments, So when the US attacked and threatened him in this story, I couldn't see how that could actually happen.
Our government can't even decide to get rid of the penny despite it costing more to make than it is actually worth.
My second issue was that everything was just too easy, Withinmonths of learning how to use the aliens technology they were making millions of space ships, weapons with advancements in energy, medicine, nanotechnology, etc.
Those numbers were just to unreal, I skimmed through the last/of the book because it just became so tedious, Most of what I was reading at that point was being told how long things would take to make I could make this much inweek, which means I could make this much inweeks, which means byweeks I could make this many.
I was glad I read the first book, but I really wished I would have stopped there, Ok

An okay work, Not quite as good as book one, but not bad, Equivalent of gas station food to compare,./Stars Exciting

This is an exciting story in this series, You have romance and space battles and earth going to new places and meeting new races, Really enjoyed this one

I really enjoyed this one, but it was a little bit simplistic.
Scott, the main character, reacts believably to the attacks, and there are some fun battles and technology, Other than the main character, everyone else is a little two dimensional, There is almost no fantasy in this book, except for a couple of references to characters being elemental mages or were creatures.
It also had almost no tension for me, I never felt like the main characters were ever in real danger.
I did find the relations between the different species interesting and like the overall feel of the universe the author has imagined.
The

main character being Superman like made this book somewhat uninteresting for me, I also disliked the lack of any moral discussions or explorations,s of thinking, feeling beings die in minutes and then main characters go have a lovely dinner.
. . Scott Akin managed to not only survive but flourish with his allied family, friend, and lover, as well as other support.


Things are unsure for the space station, The country of his birth still wants to bring him up short, The one good thing is theres almost as much potential and opportunity in his situation as there are dangers and hard work.
Colony worlds, technical scientific advancements, new allies and friends, new enemies, and more to deal with,

If that wasnt enough to worry about, the Grays see humans with their technology as a threat.
They dont like threats

Authors note: This is primarily a space opera, The fantasy elements of the book are tangential at best, and I dont believe that will change through the rest of the series.
Oh, theres mages, shifters, witches, and vampires in these pages, but thats really not the focus, "No one looked happy with the plan, but I suppose that was proof enough that it was fair"

.
/. Astraseus Station is the sequel to Tech mage, and second in its series, It has all of the same problems I had with the first book but also added a slow and boring plot.
Its a shame because the concept could have gone a long ways but I just did not feel it and will be most likely stopping the series here.
Great Science in Fiction

I honestly dont know why he included urban fantasy people in this series world as they are not really used for this story.
Only the Mc as a mage over devices is used, He couldve just been talented and the story would stand, Great story.
