Thank for your great review. I have sampled a few pages and intend to read the whole book at a later date. I like the author's creativity in this book, I could think that some characters were android cellphones while others were AI robots. It seems like an interesting book I would love to read fully.

Sounds like this book has some potential; I'm quite disappointed to read that the world-building is lacking some explanations, though... Maybe I'll give it a chance, but I'm not so sure.
Congratulations on this great review!

Hard Kill is a sci-fi novel set in the future, focusing on transhumanists on a dwarf planet called Eris. The novel features a "Royal Council" divided into Uploaders and Purists, with Lieutenant Brock Henry playing a crucial role in the story. And this review is so perfectly written.

I appreciate the reviewer's honesty about the initial confusion with new terms in the book. It's reassuring that this didn't impact their overall enjoyment, and it makes me more curious about how those terms fit into the story.

Although, I'm not a lover of sci-fi books but when it's action-packed, intriguing, fast-paced and unpredictable like "Hard Kill," I wouldn't mind giving it a shot. Congratulations to the author on being the #BOTD!

This is an action-packed novel set in a distant, futuristic world of cyborgs occupying a dwarf planet. I'm not big on this genre, so I'm going to skip.

A sci-fi novel that is set in the distant future and is based on transhumanists who set up a colony on a dwarf planet called Eris after being exiled from Earth sounds intriguing. I am curious about the fight between The Uploaders, led by Dmitri Petronovich, and Purists, supporting Count Palatine Bernard D'Arcy and how a twenty-two-year-old human peacekeeper, Lieutenant Brock Henry, gets caught in royal games.

A very suspenseful drama of the science fiction genre. The conflict and danger Brock faces is overwhelming. He is law-abiding and loyal, but he is soon faced with not only defeating the Royal Council, but he must also deal with betrayal within his own family! Brock decides to fight the tyranny, he becomes a revolutionary! A fast paced, action filled story. I enjoyed the reading the sample and your review.
