SLEEPING GIANTS (Themis Files #1) (audiobook) by Sylvain Neuvel
Published in 2016 by Random House Audio. Multicast performance. Duration: 8 hours, 28 minutes. Unabridged. One of my favorite audiobook bloggers wrote a gushing review of this entire trilogy. It was such an enthusiastic review that I almost got all 3 books in the trilogy based on his word alone. I am glad I didn't. ******Warning: Spoiler Alert******* The chosen ones get to suit up and use the mighty morphin powerbot in this audiobook. The book is derivative of two other works of science fiction - and they're not the finest bits of sci-fi. Imagine a mash-up of The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Pacific Rim and you've pretty much got this book. It is like Pacific Rim in that you've got a giant robot weapon that has to be operated by two people at the same time to work. It's like Power Rangers in that certain people have been randomly "chosen" to operate this robot and possibly defend the earth from alien attack. **********Spoilers continue
