Earth failed. In a desperate bid to escape, the spaceship Enkidu and its captain, Heorest Holt, carried its precious human cargo to a potential new paradise. Generations later, this fragile colony has managed to survive, eking out a hardy existence. Yet life is tough, and much technological knowledge has been lost. Then strangers appear. They possess unparalleled knowledge and thrilling technology–and they've arrived from another world to help humanity’s colonies. But not all is as it seems, and the price of the strangers' help may be the colony itself.

Possibly The Best Star Trek Ever
Revisado: 09-22-23
It’s a delight hearing AT finding ways to expand on this already bast and complex universe he has created. Our federation of strange alien friends (progeny?) goes on an adventure and it’s interesting, confusing, challenging at times, and so much fun. If you like (and miss) sci fi focused on exploration, discovery and understanding rather than shooting at aliens with lasers, planets or the laws of physics, you’ll feel right at home in this book.

Idris has neither aged nor slept since they remade his mind in the war. And one of humanity’s heroes now scrapes by on a freelance salvage vessel, to avoid the attention of greater powers. Eighty years ago, Earth was destroyed by an alien enemy. Many escaped, but millions more died. So mankind created enhanced humans such as Idris - who could communicate mind-to-mind with our aggressors. Then these ‘Architects’ simply disappeared, and Idris and his kind became obsolete.

A lot of space fun.

Nothing too complex or groundbreaking, but just a lot of fun (if you are into space combat with sprinkling of “chosen one”). And the performance is fantastic.

AWEFUL
Revisado: 04-14-22
I was really looking forward to a classic sci fi story, so I gave this series a shot, since so many people talk about it. It’s terrible. Characters range from cartoonish to utterly irrational. There’s so much exposition, most without any payoff. And overall, it’s just sooo boring.
It’s a specially hard read if you are not american. Because in the future, all “foreigners” are dumb brown idiots who can’t defend themselves and the army has go save them.

In Atlanta, Dr. Peyton Shaw is awakened by the phone call she has dreaded for years. As the CDC's leading epidemiologist, she's among the first responders to outbreaks around the world. It's a lonely and dangerous job, but it's her life - and she's good at it. This time she may have met her match. In Kenya, an Ebola-like pathogen has infected two Americans. One lies at death's door. With the clock ticking, Peyton assembles her team and joins personnel from the Kenyan Ministry of Health and the WHO.

A Particularly Boring Take On The Pandemic Plot
Revisado: 04-12-18
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
More "Lost" than "The Martian", it's written for unapologetic best-seller listeners who... are not interested in well written books? I don't know, do you have a long trip and absolutely nothing else to listen and no access to any gaming platform and/or comic books? Do you need Stockholm syndrome to be shallowly explained to you?
What was most disappointing about A. G. Riddle’s story?
It's a long series of expositions of basic scientific concepts that lead up to a boring conclusion. After a poorly written reveal, you find yourself on a ridiculously improbable scenario that lacks any excitement or surprise. It is especially hard to listen because the quick chapters make it hard to focus on what is happening in the story and because you can tell that the narrator is trying so hard to make it exciting, but it's not.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
Read a different book? The narrator is fine, he just doesn't have a lot to work with.
What character would you cut from Pandemic?
Everyone related to the main lovebirds. I'm not sure if there are any characters left after that, but those are probably fine characters in a book.
Any additional comments?
Don't listen to this this.
