Ariock Dovanack never asked to be a hero, let alone a demigod. But when a prophecy deemed him "The One," he dutifully amassed thousands of messianic followers in the sun-starved civilization beneath the Torth Empire's capital. Now, destined to lead the cave-dwelling Alashani people into the light of other worlds, he and a small army must first annihilate the formidable telepaths who guard the city's spaceport. By Ariock's side is Thomas Hill. A Torth/human hybrid, Thomas may be physically vulnerable, but he's also a telepathic supergenius.

If the dystopian galaxy got you down in book 1, this is the one you've been waiting for. Very rewarding listen.

The Majority always gets what it wants. Thomas Hill just wishes it didn't want him. There's no way to escape a galactic mob of mind readers, no way for him to blend in with his foster family and other average Americans. Because Thomas invented a way to save his own life. His custom medicine halts the progress of his degenerative neuromuscular disease. Newscasters proclaim him the next Einstein, but mere humans have no idea his bioengineered processing capacity rivals that of a supercomputer. They just think he's smart. However, there are other bioengineered supergeniuses in the Majority.

In the future, there is no AI--just slaves
Revisado: 09-27-23
What if the universe were governed by a trillions-strong, supreme socialist pantheon of nearly all-knowing, all-powerful deities? And what if they decided that sentient slaves from the lesser population were, on the whole, a much wiser and more reliable servant class than AI machines? I loved how this story explores philosophy while being at times silly and playful, and at other times dark and sobering. There are two main characters in Majority, and I found each to be likeable and insufferable in their own ways... one is a giant, self-deprecating sweetheart; the other a driven but physically disabled super genius. Both characters vie for "galaxy's most self-absorbed hero" award until they discover something beyond themselves worth fighting for. I enjoyed the progression from everyday Earth (where I connected with the characters and places) to the larger universe that Goldsmith has created. I'm very excited to listen to book 2 when it comes out!
