AJ Kerrigan reviewed Alternis by Maurice Broaddus
Review of 'Alternis' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I received an eARC of this book courtesy of Serial Box.
This book is a love letter to geeks and gamers. It has elements that recall movies like WarGames, Matrix, Tron, etc. - all filtered through an MMORPG with a thin framing story. There are plenty of geek culture references, which serve as knowing winks to the characters and reader alike.
The story is pretty campy (intentionally). Think Dr. Who levels of campiness. So if you're familiar with geek/gaming tropes and want to have some fun in a near future world that doesn't take itself too seriously, this may be up your alley.
