4.0 out of 5 starsBoom Goes the Sequel
By Wag The Fox on March 28, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition
After reading Empire State and walking away with a lukewarm feeling, I was a little hesitant about picking up its sequel, The Age Atomic. The series was so well received by others, and it's a melding of genres I enjoy, I wondered if I just wasn't in the right mood to read something like Empire State. Well, I made sure to wait until I got a hankering for some genre-mashing goodness before picking up The Age Atomic.

The book starts out with Empire State quite literally in the winter of its discontent, as the Fissure which connected the pocket universe to the original New York City (at least the alternate version Christopher has invented) is gone and Empire State is growing colder and deader by the day. Rad Bradley, the rough-and-tumble private eye who served as the hero in the first book, returns and is on the case to find out why an army of robots is being held in storage and who is responsible. At his side is the equally capable Jennifer Jones who has motives of her own in rooting out the robot menace. Meanwhile, back in New York City, a ghostly woman once known as Ellen McHale has assumed control of an organization called Atoms for Peace, designed to assess and contain the threat posed by the existence of the Empire State.

The mosaic of robots, ghosts, superheroes, mad scientists, hard-boiled detectives, airships, and good ol' fashioned fisticuffs might be a lot to take in at once. And frankly, it felt a little too muddled when done in Empire State. But with The Age Atomic, it looks like Adam Christopher really has struck a balance with the universe he's created--or I finally started smoking from the same hookah as he.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsRad Bradley is back on the streets of The Empire State along with an army of robots
By Wayne A McCoy on February 26, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition
'The Age Atomic' by Adam Christopher is book 2 of the Empire State series. Like the last book, it had a cool idea and vibe, and I liked it about as much.

Events in 'The Empire State' left a weird rift, called The Fissure, between the Empire State and New York city. It's now 1954 and a mysterious woman named Evelyn McHale is working for a shadowy new group known as Atoms For Peace. Meanwhile, in Empire State, Rad Bradley has been hired to find a missing man. It's not as straightforward as it seems and leads him to discover a strange conspiracy, some old friends, and a huge robot army.

I like the concepts. I like the world. I even like some of the characters, but something about it just doesn't quite seem to add up to something I would love, and it seems like the sort of thing I really would. Still, I'm glad I read it, and it's a pretty cool take on a pocket universe featuring an alternate New York.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Angry Robot and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

3.0 out of 5 starsNot Quite as Strong as the First Book
By Rocky Sunico on August 14, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition
NOTE: I was given a free copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion of the novel.

This book sort of picks up the action fairly quickly - not bothering to go with the sort of slower-burn that we had followed in the first book. That may or may not be a good thing since this was in fact a sequel so I suppose we didn't need to learn all that much about the Empire State this time around - just the need to move forward with the plot and figure out what the heck was going on. I did kind of miss this being a bit more like a detective story though - as much as there were still mysteries to be solved, we just sort of found out the answers instead of feeling the satisfaction of various clues coming together for a greater conclusion.

I think the book could have used a bit more development work - a bit more discussion about how the Empire State itself had changed after the events of the first book. I kind of wanted to better understand how life had initially continued on once the corruption in the city had been resolved and Wartime declared officially over. What made the Enemy stop sending their own forces against the Empire State? If Prohibition was over, where were all the resources for the additional goods coming in? Was regular trade happening with New York before the Fissure closed up or something? There were just so many unanswered questions that I feel a whole book could probably fit in-between the two written thus far. And that sort of annoyed me, but in a good way.

The core adventure this time around centered on robots on both sides of the fissure - hence the cover of the book.Read more ›

Slow start. The story didn't really get going until half-way through. But it was enjoyable enough that I finished it.
