Waking Gods by Sylvain Neuvel

The sequel to "Sleeping Giants" contains just as much action and page-turning suspense with a tad less government agencies looking to place blame. The story begins four years later and is told through interviews,memos, news reports and other documents relating to when the first robot after Themis lands in London. This new alien robot and others do not seem to be a threat at first but soon Earth is in an uproar and Themis and her crew is once again called upon to make contact. The main characters are back and are still dealing with past issues. Even the snarky mystery interviewer is back still pulling the strings of the marionette crew. The interesting part for me is not how the alien robots can reek havoc on Earth but how humans react to their world being under attack from an unknown source and all the emotion that goes along with it. Read the first book before you tackle this one but the good news is that you will have a shorter time than the rest of us waiting for the next installment.
