*The new novel from the author of WILLIAM*

'A propulsive gasp of a novel' Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes

'I couldn't put it down until the last twisting page' Simone St. James, author of Murder Road

2030. The human crew sent to prepare the first colony on Mars arrives to find the new base half-destroyed and the three robots sent ahead to set it up in disarray.

In the four years since they arrived, the machines have formed alliances, chosen their own names and picked up some disturbing beliefs. Each robot must be interrogated. But one of them is missing.

As the astronauts close in on the truth, it dawns on them that in this barren, hostile landscape - where even the machines have nightmares - none of them is safe.

Exiles is a taut and terrifying one-sitting listen from the critically acclaimed author of William.

This could have been a truly engaging and interesting story. Instead of writing that story, Coile chose to write astronauts with the most tragic backstories ever (is it a prerequisite to have people you love die horribly, said deaths most likely being your fault) to become a main character astronaut? It might be considering, well, books) and make this supposed story about colonizing Mars about said tragic backstory. Boring.
The colonization of Mars mission also isn't really explained well or makes any sense, but this book would be even more boring if put into a normal setting, so, Mars colonization it is.
What really grinds my gears, though, is Coile writing about how women aren't believed or listened to, their statements and thoughts always belittled and pushed aside, he writes about an assault the main character endures that isn't taken seriously, writes his male characters as sexist and macho, makes the female characters (I guess) bond over this- to make sure none of this comes to anything. No one learns anything aside from maybe the female main character that she can't trust other women. Brilliant messaging.
Also, the robots could just have been humans. Aside from their strength, nothing about how they're written differs from the human characters.

Fake feminist and cliché
