"On Ona(ji), Verloc Nim is the sole survivor of an expedition to recover Aama, the experiment that has transformed this desert planet into a landscape inhabited by lethal biorobotic creatures and plants. Having pieced together the events of his recent past--his journey to Ona(ji), his part in the deadly expedition to Aama's source--Verloc finds himself physically transformed by his confrontation with the experiment. But will his extraordinary new powers be enough for him to save his daughter? The final volume of Aama is the culmination of Peeters' award-winning series--a gripping blend of breathless action, existentialism, and suspense, and a spectacular vision of the distant future." --

Review of 'Aama' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

First off, the series as a whole. Beautiful artwork, interesting story, and a good model for science fiction - a solid 3 stars.

This book, however, left me flat. After three episodes of world building and plot exploration, this starts at the ending of 2001: A Space Odyssey and then veers into the territory of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.

"What does God need with a starship?" Or indeed, what does Aama need with one? Aren't most of the human race connected with (hackable) neural implants? Didn't Aama take over most of the robots, leaving only a multi-page battle with Roosevelt? Anyhow, beautiful art aside, this ending book felt rushed and the story incomplete.
