I didn't think it was possible but this one was better than the first. Action packed with all the elements of hard science fiction, horror, AI, and futurism. Beautifully written. Can't wait for the next one.

This was a strong sequel in the WalrusTech Universe series, it had that element that I was looking for and enjoyed the overall story going on. The characters had that element that I wanted, they felt like they belonged in this universes and was glad I read this. E.W. Doc Parris has a great writing style and can’t wait for more.

Fellow travelers on the path to None-Of-It; Gather round for a tale of heroes and demons, wonder and terror, laughter and heartache!

A masterfully plotted follow-up to the thrilling time-travel mashup Dent in the Universe, The Aurora's Pale Light is a story of outrageous thrills and compelling characters in the spirit of its predecessor. Reading a Walrustech book is like opening a door to another dimension: the more you understand, the more beautiful it becomes. Parris handles complex themes of grief and forgiveness with a deft hand, delving into existential philosophy and complex sociopolitical issues with genuine insight. Witty and well-balanced between thrills and comic relief, the story flows along furiously with references to everything sacred to nerds from Star Trek to James Bond to the Princess Bride, John Wick, The Matrix and Stephen King.

The second book in the series, even more than the first, is filled with the action-packed chaos of McCammon's post-apocalyptic epic, Swan Song.
In Aurora, John Banks further embraces the role of the conflicted hero, expertly cutting down hordes of demons while grappling with personal struggles. Some of the most eloquent, elegant, and exciting science fiction writing in existence, there hasn't been a more cinematic literary series since The Hunger Games.

As this installment expands the scope of the story's time travel tech, the epic scale of the Universe becomes clearer, bringing the Walrustech phenomenon closer to the status of the Bene Gesseritt in Herbert's Dune series in terms of possibilities for future (and past) adventures. This wild ride has something for everyone, from a winter march across frigid plains complete with Conestoga wagons, to the ultra-convenience of futuristic terraforming technology. The Aurora's Pale Light is fantastic fun no reader should miss.

An Epic thank you to NetGalley, Magic Aurora Books and the author for this highly anticipated and thoroughly enjoyed ARC.

So I had read the first in this series and it was a little weird multiple plot points, chaos and the story started great snd ended lackluster.

I loved the orginal idea though so I wanted tj give the second book a chance.

I feel the same on this one, the idea is amazing but the story itself is going in to many directions and that's someone that dosent mind Alot of characters and plot points to keep up with usually.

I think this could work with some very heavy editing and a maybe narrowing down the story.
