Wesley Chu: Time Siege (2016) 4 stars

Review of 'Time Siege' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

It seemed no matter what he did, he had no place in the universe.

Enjoyable. Plenty of action to keep me entertained but the story isn't complete. I didn't realize a third Time Salvager book is in the works. As the story raced to the conclusion and there were still loose threads in the epilogue I began to wonder what was amiss.

My complaints about the focus on Elfreth in Time Salvager 1 aren't as relevant this time around because the scale of the "savages" and their unification gave a definite David (Earth) vs. Goliath (Co-op) vibe.

At first, it felt great not to have that responsibility, but now, not he felt useless and unwanted.

One of the most interesting parts of Time Siege was how James coped with being obsolete. That fed into his addiction and it really showed the fragility of the character and the eventual redemption arc.
