But tooooo short!

Becky Chambers is my comfort reading. This one was no exception. But damn it was short.

Excellent techno thriller. Creepily plausible.

Revisado: 03-22-16

This had me hooked from the first moment. It definitely deserves teh cliche of tour de force (I know.. Sorry). A very plausible fast paced story about a game developer who leaves behind a daemon Internet virus thingy to wreak havoc in his stead. And then some

Seriously dude, read this book, it has spiders!

Revisado: 01-14-16

I rarely give books 5 stars, but everything about this book deserves all 5. Story is ridiculous, yet internally consistent. It's well plotted, the action and mystery flowing smoothly. Many surprises, and a ton of laughs. I was literally incapacitated by laughter a few times. The performance is perfect. I am going to devour everything Mr Wong has and will write.

Everything I look for a dystopians zombie story

Revisado: 10-12-15

Wow. I finished this, then went straight back and re-listened to the last third of it. And had by then already gotten my girlfriend to start listening to it, so I've listened to about a third of it with her. And will probably finish it with her too. Brilliantly entertaining post-apocalyptic story all about the Z-word. And one of the best I've read in said genre. Characters are wonderfully flawed. The world leaves many questions. The science is great. The action is good. I loved everything about it. It ended as it should have. Oh and the narrator was excellent.

Massive enjoyable near future military fiction.

Revisado: 07-07-15

Very entertaining, and very believable in its extrapolation of current technology into a future setting. Drone warfare and hacker armies battling alongside 20th century naval vessels. The Characters all felt real. The tension wasn't forced. Exactly what the blurb offered and more.

Thoughtful and insightful if a bit slow

Revisado: 02-11-15

The (probably) last book in the Long Earth series, was even slower than the previous two. The scope was however much larger. As the name implies the traversing of the Long Mars, among other adventures keep the characters we've come to know busy discovering more and more fascinating aspects of this ring of infinite worlds.

Unfortunately I felt that the separate stories were all a little flat, a little distant, a little shallow. Overall I enjoyed it very much, but there was something missing compared to the first 2 books, and I'm still needing some more conclusive end to the series

Wonderful anecdotes from a brilliant mind

Revisado: 02-03-15

A mixed bag of fascinating stories that fill in any of the gaps from Fyenman's life that weren't covered in Surely You're Joking Mr Feynman. Insightful and touching. Albeit very scattered and not particularly chronological

Very fine post-apocolyptic fiction

Revisado: 02-02-15

I loved this. It' has been recommended to me on so many different forums and in so many formats. I'm very pleased to have fianlly given it a listen. Great characters. Totaly suspecion of belivve, really took me away. Unexpected plot twists. Humour, sadness, hope. I highly recommend it. The narration was perfect, albeint she had a few slightly over-done character accents. Overal a wonderful story, well produced.

Cute and entertaining eastern tech adventure

Revisado: 01-22-15

Entertaining, if not particularly deep techno adventure.

Interesting mix of plausible hacktivism and djinn based Middle Eastern superstition. Plausible escapism. Decent characterisation. A fun romp through the Middle East and it's censorship and it's mythology

What sci-fi is made of

Revisado: 01-14-15

Brilliant. Great balance of first contact, far future tech, unique aliens, realistic space science. Space opera as it should be.

John Lee gives a brilliant performance as usual
