[Following is a volunteer review of "Luray" by Dennis Haupt.]
Luray by Dennis Haupt, is a Sci-fi novel that sets place in a far future of Earth, where nanotechnology is the peak of technology and, as Luray states, politics is as dumb as it can get.
The story shows all these fantastically illegal things that Luray does, like how she threatens big companies to play by her hands, or how she owns what can be considered as a highly-illegal AI implant that could undoubtedly conquer the world. You couldn't help but feel like joining her in her escapades as she travels the universe. She’s the reliable broker slash blackmailer of SafetyNet that always gets the job done, no matter how difficult or how weird.
Luray’s given a new project, scout Planet EE-297 and see if the invading aliens are a threat to Investors. As any usual Sci-fi book goes, the aliens are insanely smart and strong, or so they were led to believe. She meets Kailoon, a commander in disguise as a pilot. If she was small and witty, he was tall and cunning. Both of them clicked in the weirdest ways, but none seemed to mind.
The story is action-packed and fast-paced, quick as a Quantum Computer and flashy as Nanotechnology. She escapes death several times but keeps getting reeled into more action, be it in the form of punches or wordplay. She basically ”John Wicks” her way out of danger, except John Wick uses any weapon at hand, she uses drugs that boosts her senses and thinking.
Towards the end, however, she is forced to halt her plans and slowly formulate what would be her biggest scheme yet. The book ends abruptly, leaving much to the imagination. (I personally think that Luray will be able to conquer the Aurigans with her trusty companion, Bin.) Objectively though, the book ended in a steep cliffhanger. It's too open ended, with almost no guarantee of Luray's escape from the enemy's grasp.
Despite that, the book does not suffer from any typographical errors. It successfully gives the readers the quality experience that they deserve. It’s also free from any curse words and doesn't have any religious agenda, so you can freely read it to your children or your friends at work, no matter the race, religion, or age.
My rating for this book is a 3 out of 4. Although it does have all these wonderful characters and enchanting plot, the story did suffer a bit at the end. Despite the ending, the story is magnificently written and I definitely recommend you read it.
