Book Review: Nemesis (2016) Alex Lamb

Nemesis (2016)  Alex Lamb

The most be a thousand books with this title.  Sci Fi, fantasy, fiction, and non-fiction.  Come on!  Can’t we do a little better?  Anyway.  Part 2 of the Roboteer (I do like that title even though it is stolen from a Disney movie) Trilogy.  Will Kuno-Monet  finished the Roboteer as the most powerful man alive infected with smart cells given him by the Transcended.  Well he is finding living as the super being in a world of not super beings is not so easy. He makes his wife Rachel so frustrated that she gets lost exploring the edge of the galaxy.  Mark Ruiz is a new character - a pseudo-son to Will who is a “super” Roboteer.  A strong willed pilot who gets assigned to help lead a mission to explore a possible new alien contact.  Will is also on the mission.  Unfortunately, all is not as it seems and the whole thing is a ploy to destroy Earth and allow Galatea to rule.  Of course, the whole thing backfires and a real alien menace is released.  Think the “Borg” only they are called the Photurions.   Their home-world is a world of tubular structures called “Snake Pit”.   The key to salvation (maybe) is control of this world.  Watch out for Anne Ludec.


Alex Lamb writes long detailed books.  I love it.  It makes the scenes very real to me.  Others might find it a burden and too slow. I think this is similar to Covey’s Expanse series and is ripe for development.
