Pilot X definitely had much more personality in the latter half of the book. I think part of this is the main character. While I did enjoy this novel, it did take me some time to get into this novel. I was a bit confused by the logic and surprisingly non-paradox inducing scene where Pilox X spends a total of four years with two other versions of himself. Things get a little ‘timey-wimey’ in a few places. There are a couple of wonderful scenes where Pilot X confronts his enemies with small speeches of the sort the Doctor uses. You know, preserving fixed points in time and the like. Their worries are fairly aligned with traditional Time Lord concerns. However, if you’re looking for a fast paced adventure through time and space with direct and humorous prose, this is the book for you.įor better or worse, the story is reminiscent of Doctor Who. If you are looking for long, beautiful paragraphs about the scenery, this book isn’t for you.
The prose is straightforward, not flowery or very descriptive.
There are deeper, hidden motives and the entire fabric of reality is threatened by a devastating war hidden from the entire galaxy. Only, it was a false peace Pilot X was unwittingly brokering.
Many years are spent by Pilot X brokering peace with the Alendan’s longtime enemies, the Sensaurians and the Progons. Pilot X is an Alendan, a race of humanoid beings who have mastered the art of time travel who have dedicated their lives to preserving proper timelines and overall policing of the galaxy.
In this book we follow our main character, Pilot X, as he flies through space and time in his ship Verity while rising through the ranks of his home planet. Which, incidentally, is exactly when I read this book. This is a fun, fast read, perfect for a lazy weekend. Pilot X is a new science fiction novel by Tom Merritt being released today, March 14, 2017. (All reviews are our own, honest opinions.)
