A review by thinde
A.I. Destroyer by Vaughn Heppner

4.0

There is an unappealing waft of dated Sci-Fi in this novel. It's like a 70's space opera that has had a modern edit. Despite this, I ended up enjoying A.I. Destroyer more than I had predicted. This was helped by a stirring finish.

Hawkins is a flawed protagonist who is out of his depth for most of the story. His support crew is made up of unstable crutches, at best. What saves the day is his growing strategic brilliance and a criminal's nose for duplicity. This is an interesting take on an old story. I want more.
