Written by PJ Manney

Narrated by David de Vries

PJ Manney continues her action-packed, thought-provoking science-fiction series with the sequel to the Philip K. Dick Award–nominated (R)evolution.

In the guise of political revolutionary Thomas Paine, bioengineer Peter Bernhardt brought down the corrupt and powerful Phoenix Club—and then turned revolution into evolution by becoming the first artificial human intelligence: Major Tom. In the two years since Major Tom revealed his digital existence and spread his freedom manifesto, he has been revered as a god and vilified as a demon. The United States and Europe have splintered into ideologically independent regions. Russia and China prepare to expand their empires.

In the midst of the chaos, pirates attack a seastead in the Pacific Ocean, capturing one of Major Tom's allies. A mysterious and powerful group wages a secret war. To rescue his ally, Major Tom must first regain his own humanity and somehow save a species he no longer identifies with, and which seems determined to destroy itself.

Reviews for (ID)entity

[Evan and Caris · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Really cool ideas, love the jump to a near future with close-but-future technology, but found the "new" (old) nemesis rediculous from start to finish, not to mention certain events near a well, and the clearing house of all allies, and the consistent and absolute failure throughout the story of the protagonist the accomplish anything.

Theres being outsmarted by your enemy, and then there's "turn out the entire story and events was the enemies plan all along!" - which would be one thing, but the events in question were meandering at best, and accomplished nothing.
