Resumen del Editor

Yanked from cryo to join a crew of modded humans in deep space? Daisy's life just got a whole lot more complicated.

As if nearly burning up in a freak accident on her way to Earth wasn't bad enough, Daisy had a whole mess of other trouble on her plate. Big trouble. And she was going to get to the bottom of it if it was the last thing she'd do, which it was starting to look like it very well might be.

The thing is, Daisy had a simple rule for space travel. Don't blow up, and so far she'd been managing to abide by that, but mere survival wasn't enough.

With the powerful AI supercomputer guiding the craft beginning to show some disconcerting quirks of its own, and its unsettling cyborg assistant nosing into her affairs, Daisy's unease was rapidly growing, as was her bigotry toward artificially intelligent beings. Add to the mix a crew of mechanically enhanced humans, any one of whom she suspected might not be what they seemed, and Daisy found herself with a sense of pending dread tickling the periphery of her mind.

Something was very much not right, she could feel it in her bones. The tricky part now was going to be overcoming her biases and figuring out what the threat was, before it could manifest from a mere sinking feeling in her gut into a potentially deadly reality. Only things were quite different and much worse than she could ever have imagined, forcing her to repeatedly adjust and overcome a reality that turned out to be far from what it had originally seemed. And it was looking like Daisy wouldn't have to save only herself, but the entire planet Earth in the process.

The complete series set of all five of the Clockwork Chimera books:

1. Daisy's Run
2. Pushing Daisy
3. Daisy's Gambit
4. Chasing Daisy
5. Daisy's War

complicated downcheck

pros are complex issues of self introspection and selfhood doubt

cons bodice ripper not my thing

Great very well-thought-out univer!

This is an excellent series and amazing universe I enjoyed this one just as much as I did the dragon mage series.

overall fun story

the story had a few story lines that were obvious but over all I enjoyed it, I read all 5 books in the course of a week or 2. I started the first and couldn't stop.

Very interesting story line with a main character that is brilliantly dense for much of the storyline.

This is a series of books about the cost of secrets. The main character is a conspiracy theorist and bigot with no indication of how that comes about. She keeps secrets from everyone while also calling them friends. She is supposed to lead others, and often does that, but she keeps critical information from everyone. Even when she learns that that could do irreparable harm. In the end things all work out but it usually looks like luck is the key element.

Great book series

I really liked the series. Good action with a twist. Check it out. It’s great!

cool read

great story!
lots of twists and turns to keep the pages flipping.
really hard to put down.

Pretty good

It started out a bit slow then it got a lot better. Thank you very much.

Just started. Not a good beginning. Minor spoilers

Book one reads like an inexperienced author. For example, it is supposed to take place in the far future, but contains plenty of modern expression that were not used 5 decades ago, and probably won't be in use 5 decades from now. It just seems out if place for the mood the author wants to build.

Also, the author used a few devices to create tension that just don't work the way he hoped. The bigotry mentioned in other reviews is a device used to separate the main character from the others. However, a technician with an aversion to technology (the bigotry mentioned) seems very hard to believe for anyone who knows techs in real life.

Second, the maggufin in the first book: the MC is convinced the crew is involved in a conspiracy and begins to act against them. Several times, they are in contact, and the crew says, "just surrender and let us explain everything." Never do they try to explain when they gain contact. They just beg her to listen later. It doesn't make any sense.

Posted reviews improve for the later books, so I will stick to it a while longer.
