The sequel to One Day on Mars takes place a few years after the events of that book. We are rather disconcertingly thrown straight into the action of a new “24“-like tale taking place within a short time span. United States forces are attacking a separatist base in the Oort Cloud. At the same time, the president (Senator Alexander Moore from the previous book) and his family are being attacked by every automaton at Disneyland (no, really). Finally, a secret agent emplaced at the separatist home ...more
Although I really liked the first book in the series I was not surprised with the quality of this book. While the first book clearly set the stage for another installment I was expecting something with better flow. The first chapters are rakish at best and they failed to capture my attention. Unfortunately I dropped twenty bucks for this book in hardcover. Had that not been the case I wouldn't have returned it however I doubt I'd have finished the novel.

The Tau Ceti Agenda has plenty of action and battle scenes which keep the plot moving at a fast pace. I found the ending somewhat disappointing, but the high readability, interesting characters, and neat surprises made up for it. I appreciated the author's lack of hesitation in killing characters off. Most of all, it was nice to see a "intelligent" novel that wasn't as slow or lacking as many of it's counterparts in the military sci-fi genre.
"Doc" Travis Taylor is a good guy, and if you like hard science fiction, more action than is probably healthy, and like dramatic battle scenes, read this.
I like my characters more developed and the plot less linear and formulaic. The things Doc does well don't outweigh the lack of characters and plot for me. Not a reading choice I'd make again.

Interesting sequel to One Day On Mars. A few years have passed and the protagonist has moved up the food chain in more ways than one! Still clips along with adrenaline-laced anecdotes and action that just won't stop!
Why do Science Fiction writers think they need to ad explicit sex to their novels?
Lots of action, interestingly odd robots.
The main story line continues to build. Interesting twist at the end I was not expecting, so yeah, I'll be watching for _One_Good_Soldier_ (ODoM #3). Not quite up to Jack Campbell's "The Lost Fleet" series, but I have hope.
