This was a fun albiet forgettable read - and I have to write the review now as otherwise it will de-evolve into a series of vaguely enthusiastic cat GIFs and generic, "it was fun" statements.
The premise is hard to beat: An overpowered, fast-talking, sentient AI who happens to be mentally and physically conjoined to an equally fast-talking journalist? And said AI can shape-shift into a warship? And likes duck in plum sauce more than is reasonable? Heck to the yes!

I received this book free from a kindle app..
This was very unexpected. Truly! From the write up, I was expecting a run of the mill space adventure. The reality was far more extraordinary.
Greg finds himself accidentally assaulted by an organic, sentient space ship with a marvelously snarky sense of humour. Not only is his life irrevocably changed, its quickly begins to fall a part. He soon finds himself at the center of an oncoming galactic war, while facing the growing ramifications of his new ...more

Lots of wit and humor, an engaging read. The intergalactic adventures of Sampson and Cab provides a platform for exploration into the real price of immortality, beautifully written with thought provoking passages that will make you laugh and cry.
One of the first books in a while that I got through in under a week. Great story and descriptive scenery. Can't wait for the sequel and the continuing adventures of Samson, Cab and the Krr!

A absurd sci-fi comedy. Somewhat stilting in pacing but extremely fun and an awfully imaginative world built by the author. Especially love the little off-hand snippets of Ithaca, as someone whole once lived there it made story really come alive.
So good! When is the next one?
This book was just amazing! I can not wait to read more by this author. The book has a wonderfully imagined premise.

The Origami Man was a thoroughly enjoyable read. I laughed, I cried, I thought deep thoughts, and then I laughed some more. I'm looking forward to more from this author!

“made it impossible to see past the windows. It was like the world ended where the night began, as if infinity had overwhelmed itself and disappeared. Now I was calm in the face of the darkest night imaginable, free, able to go where I chose, and the feeling was exhilarating, not terrifying. The absence of anxiety was nearly joyous.”
