The philosopher asks: "Faced with the mutually exclusive choice between moral principle and the survival of your family, which is the correct path?" Philosophers love to pose such questions, and in the day-to-day struggle, such thinkers rarely attain to a level of relevance rivaling that of the simple hunger pang. Their careful considerations dissipate under the leveled gun. We do not feel their disapproving gaze when The Others draw near. When the world sends doom, the survivors do not hesitate. The survivors do what is necessary.

Outstanding performance, weak ending
Revisado: 09-17-19
As usual, RC Bray shines in his performance.
SPOILER ALERT FOR THE FOLLOWING CONTENT
Jake's personality remains hidden.
The entire confrontation was anticlimactic and in the rear view mirror, pointless. It maybe moved the story but not by much. Was there really no other option?
In any case, the point rgd hard decisions was just clumsily brought about is my feeling.
No explanation on how the Commune gets their paws on the wood gas device.

The plot thickens!
Revisado: 09-15-19
Loved the premise. However, there are problems with the genepool diversity. Also, the plot rgd the other players is weak - why were they not taken into confidence? Why just two supercarriers? The Journey remains a mystery - why did it take 3 times as much? Very light on the science. Hope A. G. Riddle takes this into account and addresses them in the next book. Which I am waiting for most definitely!!

Revisado: 06-20-19
Narrative lacks emotion at times. Also get it that this is the first of 5 prequels, but is very very short. It's really a singke short story than a book.

Those on the side of progressing humanity through advanced technology have finally triumphed over their oppressors. The unholy war between the small but mighty island realm of Charis and the radical, luddite Church of God's Awaiting has come to an end. However, even though a provisional veil of peace has fallen over human colonies, the quiet will not last. For Safehold is a broken world, and as international alliances shift and Charis charges on with its precarious mission of global industrialization, the shifting plates of the new world order are bound to clash.

Disconnected
Revisado: 01-30-19
As many others have pointed out, both the narration and the narrative feels disconnected. Please bring back Wyman - he brought the characters to life, and now suddenly they just mean and sound totally different.
Also, the plot seems to wander off a bit. There's a one-liner thrown in about the inner circle choosing to not intervene in the Republic, but there are so many options. I can't think of one good reason why they'd just slide the single biggest ally into chaos and turn into a potential enemy.

For 30 years humanity struggled to cope with the brilliants, the one percent of people born with remarkable gifts. For 30 years we tried to avoid a devastating civil war. We failed.
The White House is a smoking ruin. Madison Square Garden is an internment camp. In Wyoming, an armed militia of thousands marches toward a final, apocalyptic battle.

Can't wait for Book 4!!
Revisado: 06-26-17
Interesting storyline that ended predictably. There was a lot of scope for Abnormal innovation, e.g. auto aiming rifles, that didn't happen. Which is very hard to believe. anyway.
I can almost see John Smith being played in a TV series on SyFy by the same dude who plays the belter leader. Yep same guy!!

LOVED IT!!!
Revisado: 03-23-17
Can't wait for the next one!!! I've been following all three books, and I think that character dev got the short shift in book 3. Lorenzo and Valentine didn't progress beyond generic bad ass dudes. especially Lorenzo who can be developed so much more in the "Thief" vein. Here's to the 4th Book, may it be very soon!

An orphan's life is harsh---and often short---in the island city of Camorr, built on the ruins of a mysterious alien race. But born with a quick wit and a gift for thieving, Locke Lamora has dodged both death and slavery, only to fall into the hands of an eyeless priest known as Chains---a man who is neither blind nor a priest. A con artist of extraordinary talent, Chains passes his skills on to his carefully selected "family" of orphans---a group known as the Gentlemen Bastards.

Revisado: 08-02-16
An extremely interesting plot premise, but very weak execution, one-dimensional characters and plot as if from a badly written simplistic children's book totally ruins it. I went through about 65-70% of the book before quitting.

Good story with some weak plot elements
Revisado: 05-26-16
I liked the story overall, but there are many many holes at the strategic level that are totally ignored. For example, it is unbelievable that no mind in the military hierarchy thought of kinetic weapons on a ballistic trajectory before the plot, and there is no further development of this concept. There is also zero information of Lanky biology and what makes them tik. Also, how about trying to land microchips' etc on lanky seedships? In other words, lots of big plot holes, and quite a few 1D characters. Still, I liked the descriptions of military trainings, and future occupations such as combat controller - pretty awesome!!
