Nemesis Games by James S.A. CoreyMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This series is great for escapist reading--you can put the news aside and spend time with some characters that, while they deal with a lot of rotten human behavior, in the end have total faith in people.
All of them. James Holden, Naomi Nagata, Alex Kamal, and Amos Burton come to this from different directions, but they all end up in the same spot in terms of having faith in people. That does take somewhat different forms--James is more about people being fundamentally good, while Amos goes for people being people. Alex and Naomi are more biographical. But in the end they are in the same place.
There's some pleasing space opera wrapped around that. The aliens are a presence in this novel, but not much of a one--more of a foreboding of things to come. This is a good stage-setter for the rest of the series. I'll keep reading.
