Only Human The Themis Files Sylvain Neuvel Books

I enjoyed the first two books. Some very cool ideas and concepts with some cheesy dialogue, but definitely enjoyable reads. This last one was so disappointing. It was cheap and seemed rushed to make a buck or close out the trilogy while there was still interest. Absolutely nothing new conceptually. There was no science fiction discussion on how/why the aliens were so advanced and their factious squabbling (to parallel our world I guess?) was awful. Where he could have made them interesting, he made them into caricatures of elite human stereotypes. The story is a preteen story of daughter hates dad, they fight and make up while tying in the time-honored, overly-written about story of elitiscm/fascism/rascism in a world of fear. Hmmm. I skimmed 50% of the book because it was that bad. I’m a little mad I spent $15 on this. I’m not trying to slam the author because he gave me two enjoyable reads, but from my perspective, save your money. This one is inexplicably that bad.

Only Human The Themis Files Sylvain Neuvel Books Reviews

Only Human (Themis Files, #3) by Sylvain Neuvel

We're back on Earth, and how that happens is just as much of a struggle as is what happened in the nine years they were gone. Earth is totally a different place now, and pretty much gone to Hell in a hand basket.
Our merry band splits up as each person eventually decides who they will become a drone for. And there is no Good Guys anymore. Even side is a bad pick, and there are no real moral leaders.
Eva, Vincent and Rose all need to get thier collective acts together as swiftly as possible. Mainly because, oh yeah, they are going to start WWIII. That's all.
The eventual solution is really a very elegant, yet straight forward one. And it is a good way of closing the series.
What more could you want in a sci-fi book..threats of violence...alien invasion...foreign intrigue..and so much humor? And very cleverly written in a unique way! Let’s hope the author has more,,,lots more!
Like the first sequel, this conclusion to the trilogy opens up with a gap in time between the books (another nine years), but more than the other books, the unconventional, multimedia format persists against two separate timelines. Part covers the gap in time between books, while the other half picks up the current timeline. Though there are still exciting moments of action, overall, this one is my least favorite of the series. It is preachier and I can see why its general reception was cooler. It isn't really as much fun. But, that may because I am still grieving my favorite characters...
I guess, I just expected something a bit different from this conclusion. It isn't as overall uplifting as I had hoped for, and while I didn't hate it, it's just not my favorite in the series. But, I did like sections of it quite a bit - and there are some new characters that are actually kind of fun. I definitely plan on keeping an eye out for more from this author in the future - and hope that more will be set in this landscape! Endings are rough, and so I am hoping that this isn't the last in the Themis Files!
It was tough to finish this book. It bounced around from hard sci fi to philosophy to being a treatise against the Trump Administration (which I can get onboard with just not in a fiction book). The first book in the series was good, the second ok, and this one terrible and it totally ruins the series.
I listened to this entire series on audiobook and I was completely blown away by its awesomeness.

Not only is this one of the best pure sci-fi stories I've read in so very long. But the narration! People, it's not a narration, it's an entire production!. No one even needs to do voices because there are so many people reading so many characters.

Insanely good audiobooks of an intensely great sci-fi series.

Five stars and a standing ovation
After spending almost a decade on another planet, two scientists and a teenager come back to Earth only to find that the problems they thought they helped solve have gotten worse. Now they must fight time, opposing forces, and even one another to prevent another world war. Author Sylvain Neuvel brings his trilogy, The Themis Files, to an elegant, albeit bittersweet, end in the third book Only Human.

When Dr. Rose Franklin discovered a giant metal hand buried underground nearly 20 years ago, it led her to the discovery and assembly of Themis, a robot sent by an alien race. After some serious miscommunication with the aliens, about 100 million people across the globe died from a biological weapon released into the atmosphere. Soon after Rose found herself inside Themis with linguist Vincent Couture, his daughter, Eva Reyes, and General Eugene Govender, head of the Earth Defense Corps, traveling through space against their will.

The aliens wanted to bring Themis home.

Now, after nine years, Rose has returned to Earth. She and the others spent that entire time on Esat Ekt, a planet in other galaxy and possibly another time, trying to convince the Ekt people to let them leave. Rose is torn at first about this decision. In some ways, the Ekt represent the ideal; what humans should aspire to. As Rose and Vincent learn, however, the Ekt aren’t perfect. They have their own problems with politics and opposing parties.

Rose and the others come back to the planet of their birth, but it’s no longer a place they recognize. The United States government has appropriated one of the robots the Ekt left behind and is using it as a way to force other countries to submit. Internment camps abound across the world where people who don’t quite fit in now have to live. Another world war seems imminent, and Eva just really wants to go back to Ekt. When she arrived there, she was 10 years old. She considers Ekt home.

What’s worse, the Russians hold Vincent in a benign hostage situation. As long as he cooperates with them, they won’t hurt him. Eva unleashes her fury at coming back to Earth by disappearing. Now Rose will have to find a way to resolve the original problem posed by the alien invaders while trying to help Vincent find Eva and make sure father and daughter don’t end up killing each other—literally.

In what has become his trademark style, Sylvain Neuvel rounds out the Themis trilogy with wit and stark truths about our times. The charm of the Themis books certainly hasn’t worn off; Only Human, like its two predecessors, is told through a series of interviews and journal entries. The writing style is at once disarming and informative, and with this book Neuvel really slides into the right groove for the world of Themis and alien robots.

Some authors might feel tempted to rush the ending, but Neuvel takes his time. After the death of a key character in the previous book, Neuvel manages to find another character with just as much pluck and dry wit. He doesn’t tie up all the loose ends, but he does provide a satisfactory ending to the book and the series. He also lets Rose and the others present some basic life truths, a message that many readers will appreciate in today’s world.

Scientists have often speculated about alien races and what they might think of Earth and its inhabitants. Neuvel’s works fall squarely in the arena of science fiction, and they do full justice to the genre while staying away from its tropes all at the same time. Yet there’s also a universality about the Themis books that emphasizes what the best writing can be intensely personal to the author while universal in its applicability to readers.

I recommend readers Binge Only Human by Sylvain Neuvel.
