Review Summaries
"A boy, a girl, and the end of the world... enemy is the emotional story of a war outside of space and time, and the lives that it tears apart in its wake. The Judas, the last survivors of a machine-initiated extinction incomprehensibly far into the future, live out their lives in the spaces between the stars and the Whens. Tough, battle-hardened, exhausted after centuries of war, they pursue the Enemy, machine-based life forms whose sole Purpose is to upload the last few survivors into their precious Program Seven. "
