Publisher Description

Best-selling author Simon Morden draws upon his expertise as a bona fide rocket scientist to deliver mindbending science fiction. In Theories of Flight, Petrovich is the guardian of several secrets. For starters, he knows how to make anti-gravity. And if that's not impressive enough, he also knows which secret server farm hides a sentient computer program-the same one that nearly wiped out the Metrozone. Now someone wants to kill Petrovich-and doesn't seem to care what is destroyed in the process.

"The second book in the Samuil Petrovitch/Metrozone trilogy set in post-apocalyptic London, starts about 4 months after the events of the first book, Equations of Life. I really enjoyed this novel, though perhaps not as much as Equations of Life, and I think the reason for that is I felt the pacing was a bit off at first. Midway through the book, however, things have picked up to the frenzied pace I enjoyed in Equations, and the story overall is fantastic. I think this trilogy would benefit from an omnibus edition, though I can understand the reasons this was presented as three books. I look forward to the third book, Degrees of Freedom, when I have some cash to buy it!"

  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " The second in the series was even better than the first. Morden expands his world in a fascinating way, and his knack for character development really shows in this book. The scenery and the interactions between old and new characters is incredibly complicated. He even takes a trope which could be overdone - the hero - and keeps him a believable and likeable character. Morden is able to provide enough back story in this novel to answer many questions from Equations of Life (also highly recommended). A fast-paced, interesting, and enticing piece of literature. "

    " Perhaps a touch less outstanding than the first in this trilogy, Equations of Life, but a terrific novel. Sci fi, well paced, many brilliant ideas on every page. "

    " The second Petrovitch book starts well and for the first 100 pages I thought it will match the debut and maybe even take the series to the next level; then it turns repetitive, predictable and a little boring since there is nothing essentially new introduced despite tantalizing hints "

    " Very few books excite me, but these do. It's not just the action, but the ideas; the stakes; the sense of possibility; and the ballsy, brilliant, and perpetually damaged Petrovich. Fantastic! "

    " Utterly fantastic! I have found my new favorite series in these wonderfully written tales of Petrovitch and a world at ruins. They are gritty and smart and prove that people are not always what they appear to be. Just wait till the reveal near the end! "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " Maybe not quite as good as the first, if only because it's very similar. Another sci-fi/thriller, with Petrovitch always on his feet, using his genius and raw determination to save the day. Good follow-up to the 1st; defnitely worth the read. "
