Dislike worms? Keep away from this title. The performances are mixed, especially the Spanish names can be distractingly pronounced.

Thinner than Saga of Seven Suns

Revisado: 07-10-14

This is a good beginning for a continuation from The Saga of Seven Suns. The Human Federation, taking the place of the corrupt old Terran Hanseatic League, is strong and flourishing. So is the Ildiran Empire after being shaken out of their race’s collective developmental slumber after the events in the cosmic Elemental Wars. The Ildrian’s start to question what they hold to be true and start challenging themselves. Coming from a world under seven suns, their greatest fear is darkness. And guess what is coming to our local galaxy….

The plot seems thinner than that of the Saga of Seven Suns. Kevin J. Anderson tries to recreate the sense of urgency and imminent doom that drove the Saga of Seven Suns in The Saga of Shadows. Unfortunately, he already gave humanity and its allies greater experience and weapons at the conclusion of the Elemental Wars. The new threat is not as fearsome nor engaging as the Hydrogues and Faeros. The surprises and revelations are seen from a mile away. Leaving a space opera with no driving plot line.

Earth may be waking up, but not you

Revisado: 07-04-14

The story now being mostly based out of the Moon and on Earth, all the fun seem to have been left out in the asteroid belt. —could someone please give the whining spoiled rich kid a kick in the rear? Earth Awakens will not help keep you from falling asleep.

Fascinating journey with great narration

Revisado: 02-16-13

I am not religious nor am I an atheist. But the book gave me much to think of within the constrains of it’s Universe.

A critical thinker gets all the “facts” he demand to question whether or not there is a God in Calculating God. I really appriciated the journey and the thought experiments.

Half the facts from a bitter man

Revisado: 05-24-12

Did a Web 2.0 site once touch Andrew Keen in a bad place? This is the bitter story of a bitter man who once must have taken a wrong wrong step and was left alone and cold.

Much of his facts aren’t wrong, but the conclusions are from a single point of view with an agenda. (Two chapters are dedicated to criticize others who present things online in this manner with ‘hidden agendas.’ Hypocrite.)

On one hand he criticizes the knowledge of individuals on the internet, only to raise individuals he him selves approve of (like sales clerks in record stores) to enormous heights. What Andrew completely misses is that these people — like everyone else — are also present online. We must take it to themselves to find talent offline AND online. There is no difference, and we must all be critical of information regardless of the format and provider.
