Description

While I'm a huge sff fan, I stay a lot more on the 'fantasy' end of the scale. When I do dip in to sci-fi, From Darkest Skies is a perfect example of what I like to read. It's fast paced and while the technology is significantly more advanced than our own, the book doesn't get bogged down in trying to explain the science behind everything. In fact, most things just 'are' in the book - when something like a high tech weapon is used, there's enough description of how it's fired and the damage it does that a reader can picture what's happening, but doesn't go into more detail. I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect from this book. I had assumed it would be pretty much a straight science fiction novel heavily featuring AI with a bit of mystery. Instead Peters has created an exciting high-concept sci-fi-meets-crime story with a dash of noir. In early 2021, after much encouragement from his supporters, Sam announced a second run at Nevada’s 4th Congressional District positioning himself as the early frontrunner for the Republican nomination in 2022. Peters has tied what he sees as excessive government spending to the elevated inflation rate, which hit a 40-year high in June. He also has taken issue with many Democratic economic policies, from President’s Joe Biden’s plans for student loan forgiveness to tax credits for electric vehicles approved as part of the Inflation Reduction Act.

Peters identified “debt and spending” as his “priority number two” after immigration during a candidate forum in Pahrump in August. The rich world building in From Darkest Skies was my favourite part of the book. Peters doesn’t dump too much information on you at once. Instead, you’re able to discover and wonder at a decent pace. The planet Magenta’s surface, weather systems, and lifestyles were integrated well with the story and worked perfectly. The technology in the book is impressive without being overwhelming — the reader isn’t bogged down by technical explanations, confusing science, or mind-numbing explanations. The world building is revealed in a very natural and effective way and I really enjoyed learning more about the planet and the way of life under its surface.

I received this book in a Goodreads Giveaway. I must confess, I am not normaly one to read the SF genre but I have been trying to broaden my reading and was intrigued by the premise: A man builds an AI to help him investigate his wifes death several years previous. I love crime stories so I thought this would be a good book to get me started in the SF genre. When I received the book, the cover suggests a scifi romance, but I didnt really get that so much when I read the book. The characterisation , dialogue and interactions between Keon and the members of his team make this book a enjoyable read .

As a fan or the genre, I really liked the world building, the AI aspect itself was fascinating and I’m looking forward to reading more from Sam Peters.

Voting history for Nevada's 4th Congressional District

The Cook Political Report and Nathan Gonzales of Inside Elections both consider Nevada’s 4 thCongressional District as key to control of the House of Representatives. Both have rated Peters as the clear frontrunner to take on Democrat Steven Horsford. Horsford has already signaled that he fears a challenge from Peters. Peters, who lost his race against incumbent Democratic Rep. Steven Horsford in the 4th Congressional District, received a Feb. 8 letter from the Air Force informing him about the unauthorized release of his records to an employee of Due Diligence Group, a company hired by the Democratic Party’s chief fundraising committee. Keon Rouse has , since the death of his wife Alysha in a bombing on the colony world Magenta , spent the last five years on Earth . This year, Peters won the Republican primary election for District 4. He has highlighted immigration, debt and spending and government outreach as the issues central to his campaign, often tying immigration and federal debt issues to Democratic policies and casting a negative outlook of the country’s future.
