A review by kniznypredator
Novus Dies by Schalk Holloway

3.5

 

I received an ARC ebook for free from BookSirens, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I really liked the atmosphere and story in the Novus Dies book. It’s a well-built start to The Posterity Doctrine series. The story takes place in 2364. Robots are beginning to behave in a very weird way. We're following the main protagonists, a wife and husband couple working for the Special Task Force. Kate and Monthy Park are super badass fighters. 

The author, Schalk Holloway, decided to give us in the beginning of every chapter an excerpt from a dated material source. It helps with imagining the scifi future. It's not only about robots, but about a society with new norms and ways of raising kids. Every adult citizen must be able to regulate their emotions.

I really enjoyed the themes and worldbuilding in this book. Dark atmosphere of metro tunnels and robots going rouge. This is my first book written by Schalk Holloway and definitely not the last. I’m looking forward to the next book.
