A review by mostlywicked
Heretics by S. Andrew Swann
4.0
Good, solid hard science fiction, with decent (though not exceptional) worldbuilding and some interesting ideas about technology, philosophy/religion/morality and their intersection that it plays around with.
If the first book was a mere prologue of sorts, here the story truly starts to unfold. The stakes get higher, and the reader begins understanding the universe the author has wrought better, especially in regards to the looming threat that is only roughly sketched by the first book.
It ends essentially on a cliffhanger, making the third book a necessary read to complete the full story.
In my opinion, this work, while it doesn't truly compete on a level field with the masters of the genre, is still very much worth reading, and it pains me to see how underappreciated and little known it is.
