Sleeping Giant's feels very much like a book which lays the groundwork for a great series. Told as a series of interview transcripts conducted by an unknown agent, the book follows the discovery and subsequent scientific exploration of an alien robot buried on Earth. It is somewhat slow paced, however with themes of power, found family, betrayal, and resilience, it never felt dull or like an info-dump. Mysterious and teetering on the edge of great adventure, I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
