Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 88
While the world is still counting the cost of the Second World War and the Iron Curtain has descended, young Roland Baines's life is turned upside down. Stranded at boarding school, his vulnerability attracts his piano teacher, Miriam Cornell, leaving scars as well as a memory of love that will never fade. Twenty-five years later, as the radiation from the Chernobyl disaster spreads across Europe, Roland's wife mysteriously vanishes and he is forced to confront the reality of his rootless existence and look for answers in his family history.

Simply marvelous. I feel to humbled by the fantastically precise and yet unpretentious prose to even attempt a detailed review. I'll simply say that this is a wonderfully convoluted and somewhat extreme (it IS Ian), but yet strangely relatable story. Add to this a brillant narator an you have a perfect litterary experience that doesn't even make you feel guilty for not "realy reading it".

Civilization has an off switch. The Russians call it Lunnaya Pesnya. Moon Song. They bring the device aboard the International Space Station disguised as an experimental electromagnetic propulsion system. Just a harmless EmDrive prototype, ferried into space for testing in microgravity. But the device is not what it appears to be, and it’s far from harmless. When military cosmonauts hijack the ISS, Russia’s plans of global conquest are revealed. Moon Song is a game-changing electromagnetic pulse weapon, capable of attacking any location on Earth from orbit.

The reason this gets two stars is that it is fundamentally exciting albeit extremely predictable. Also the writing is actually funny in places. Hovewer, It is extremely American in a bad way. The plot holes are so extreme that they form singularities. The decissions made by the personae are often totally unbelievable. And last but not least for Rutgers narator: if you can't do an accent, don't. This accent is a hollywood version of Swedish accent with a little German thrown in. It is certainly not Dutch.
