Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings to
spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read.
Release Date: May 1, 2018 by Del Rey Books
World War Z meets The Martian in the explosive follow-up to Sleeping Giants (“One of the most promising series kickoffs in recent memory”—NPR) and Waking Gods (“Pure, unadulterated literary escapism”—Kirkus Reviews).
In her childhood, Rose Franklin accidentally discovered a giant metal hand buried beneath the ground outside Deadwood, South Dakota. As an adult, Dr. Rose Franklin led the team that uncovered the rest of the body parts which together form Themis: a powerful robot of mysterious alien origin. She, along with linguist Vincent, pilot Kara, and the unnamed Interviewer, protected the Earth from geopolitical conflict and alien invasion alike. Now, after nearly ten years on another world, Rose returns to find her old alliances forfeit and the planet in shambles. And she must pick up the pieces of the Earth Defense Corps as her own friends turn against each other. [Goodreads Summary]
Why I want to read this one: First I have to read the first two books in the series, which I would really like to do. And then I can read this one. I have heard such great things about this series. I hope to get to it soon.
Have you read any of the books in this series?
What upcoming releases are you looking forward to?

Ooh Only Human. Can I just say I love the covers on these? Now I did read the first one and just thought it was okay, but I do kinda want to read books two and three to get the rest of the story!
ReplyDeleteGreg - I love the covers for this series too. Hopefully the second two books in the series will go better for you.
DeleteI am going to have to look in the first two books, this sounds really good!!!
ReplyDeleteJenea - I think so too! I look forward to reading the series.
DeleteThis is a new-to-me series. Hope you get to catch up before the new book arrives.
ReplyDeleteCatherine - I hope so too!
DeleteHeh, I'm with you -- I still have to read the first two in the series!
ReplyDeleteVerushka - We have some catching up to do. :-)
DeleteI'm ready for this one too. And, yes, I've read the first two books, though I'm tempted to reread them. Probably won't have time for that though. Maybe I could listen to them. Anyway, yes, I'm waiting on this book too!
ReplyDeleteKay - I hope you enjoyed the first two. I'm assuming so since you want to read this one as well. :-)
DeleteI haven't read that series but I think my sister has.
ReplyDeleteKathy - Do you know if she liked it?
DeleteI know tons of people love this series and are waiting for this one!
ReplyDeleteBarb - I can't wait to read it.
DeleteI didn't love The Sleeping Giant, but I think I'm the only one who didn't! I did like the interview transcripts and the mysterious interrogator. :)
ReplyDeleteJenclair - I don't think you are the only one. I hear the series gets better.
DeleteI haven't heard of this series, but it seems interesting!

Ashlea - I think it sounds interesting too!
DeleteI have to read the first two books in this series before I can read this one, too. And who knows how long that will take! :D
ReplyDeleteLark - We are in the same boat. :-)
DeleteI hope you enjoy this one, Wendy. The cover looks amazing and it is certainly an interesting series... Have a great reading week!
ReplyDeleteSarah - I hope I do too! I also hope you have a great reading week.

Ronyell - Hopefully we will both enjoy it. :-)
DeleteKind of (though not entirely) put off this by comparisons with The Martian.
ReplyDeleteHope you get a copy soon, happy reading.
Tracy - I haven't read The Martian, although I did see the movie and enjoyed it.
DeleteThis series is on my radar though not crazy high on my list because its so different. I look forward to seeing of what you think of the series though!
ReplyDeleteKatherine - There are just too many books I want to read too.
DeleteSleeping Giants is still on my TBR but I keep hearing great things about this series. The comparison to The Martian intrigues me since I really liked that book.
ReplyDeleteSuzanne - I am looking forward to reading the series.
DeleteI just finished this one a couple of days ago. So good!
ReplyDeleteCarole - I am glad to hear it! I hope I enjoy it too. :-)
