The Aurora's Pale Light

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.

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.

Thanks to E.W. Doc Paris, Magic Genius Books, and NetGalley for access to the Advanced Reader Copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is the second book in The WalrusTech Universe and although the author does a great job so that it could be read independently of the first book, my recommendation is that you start with the first book for this series.

This story uses time travel to help avoid and then mitigate a zombie apocalypse. A team of soldiers and scientists, aided by the future, seek to rescue as many people as they can from the zombies. However, they must follow the time machine rules – not following, even accidentally, leads to severe and unwanted consequences.

This book is original in its ideas, has interesting characters, and is well written. It is a good follow up to the first, which I also enjoyed. Recommended.
