Kilby Does It Again

5 out of 5 stars

Entropy (thankfully this one is easier to spell than entanglement) is the continuation of The Belt Series by Gerald M. Kilby.  In book one, we find out about Quantum Intelligence and inter-QI communication.  In book two we’re thrown into the same world but with so much more going on now.

The team is supposed to be out doing research on their research vessel when they’re called back to perform a transport.  Needless to say, things don’t go as planned and the description from here would be a complete spoiler.

Just know that you’re in for a lot of close calls, shooting, and overall awesome and fun space adventuring.  There is a cute storyline or two thrown in there for good measure (and I thought they were both well written.  Kilby has this way of writing a book I’m interested in and one that is great Sci-Fi but also just a great story.  You could transport these people anywhere in the solar system and it would still be a good story.

The new things introduced (things and people) were all well explained and needed.  The ship transporting one specific person (I won’t spoil who) was really interesting to me.  The AI on that ship (and the convos that said person had before and after stuff happens) were also fascinating and a little terrifying.

Kilby does it again with Entropy and of course – the wonderful narration by Steven Jay Cohen really helps to turn this good story into a great one.  I hope that he continues to narrate this series and I’m definitely interested in seeing what happens to the crew in the rest of the series.
