Finished Dead Space: Martyr - and it ended up being underwhelming. Not really what I was looking for and the ending was silly and over-the-top. But I guess it was better than nothing.
@DArtagnan - Read anything by Peter Watts? might be closer to what you are after, maybe Blindsight or Starfish?
Your welcome! I have read both and found them disturbing (possible I am easily disturbed though )
Thought the first entry from Brett was very good. Second one, not so much. Didn't buy the third one, but might eventually give it a chance. I believe I saw somewhere that the series was intended to have 5 books.
Finally finished up Sir Apropos of Nothing (as mentioned before, very enjoyable but suffered from too much personal hype) and moved into the penultimate Wheel of Time entry.
I also read Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey, which was pretty good, and had plenty of creativity to it, as well as two distinctive and engaging protagonists, alternating chapters. There's two more books in the series, which I'm keen on getting to.
I thought the next two books were even better than the first. I really had no idea what was really going on and he brought it together well in the second.
The Gunslinger (Stephen King's The Dark Tower series, book #1). I liked it and it was short enough to make me immediately continue with book 2, which so far seems nicer or, well, "nicer". Mr. King really has a knack for different accents. After book 2 I'll probably go ahead and read the massive volume that is The Stand. Timely morbid, granted, with all the Ebola news going on these days … I'm following the "full package" reading order of The Dark Tower, which sprinkles in other works of Stephen King's that feature characters who play a role in subsequent books.
