Off Armageddon reef.
================

A superb sci-fi novel and a gripping read.

Humanity has been made almost completely extinct by the ferocious alien race called the Gbaba. They hate humans with a fierce fervour. Hunting them down if one should be found anywhere in the universe.
But some humans have escaped. During a battle a few brave souls sacrificed their live to cover up the small escaping ship which fled the massacre just in time.
These humans are now on an uncharted planet but they are unaware of their past. Before landing their robot P.I.C.A. (a kind of body guard) hypnotised them all to forget about gbaba and has instilled in them the hatred of technology.
The reason for this is that if the gbaba pick up any traces of technology on a planet they swoop in and destroy everything.
However the P.I.C.A. also has another objective, to restore humanities rightful place in the cosmos and it has a clever and cunning plan. It first must wait a thousand years before it can initiate it.

A great read and a true page turner, you will not be able to put it down. The writing is inventive and crisp. I will look for Mr Weber books again. The ending and how you get there is cleverly written and hidden along the way are a few surprises.
A highly recommended book.
