Picture a dystopian future where Earth is dominated by a fanatical religious government called the New Covenant. Being a part of the LGBTQIA+ community is a crime punishable by death. You are one of two men whose names were sent in a transmission from the cosmos needed for a mission to travel by a new technology to another star system. You are trapped in a small space ship with a man that hates you on what feels like an asinine scavenger hunt for Points, or encrypted shards that are needed to further explore the star systems and upgrade your ship for the next decade.

A sci-fi epic like no other
Revisado: 03-31-22
Story:
The arc of this book starts out feeling like a straightforward tale of two men on a mysterious quest, but quickly shows signs that more is going on. The book is split up into sections, with each one taking wilder and more abstract turns.
I have to admit that I was more engaged when the story felt more grounded, but felt a bit lost in all the space-time abstractness towards the end. That being said, the story is massive in scale, and philosophical or spiritual in nature.
I believe this is an early attempt at writing a novel by this author, so it’s a bit rough in parts, but I can’t fault them for their vision to write a story like this.
Performance:
The actress they got to read this stellar. She can express emotion in even the driest moments, and I loved the effects they put on her voice at times, to make it more immersive. I suppose my only complaint is that this woman has an amazing voice, but also what I found to be very feminine…which felt like an odd choice in a book that almost exclusively features men, some of which have low, or gruff voices. That dissonance between a smooth, feminine voice, and dark, gravelly-voiced men struck me as off at times.
