A promising sequel ruined

Revisado: 07-02-23

I was looking forward to this after recently rereading the first book in the series. Delta V had a few references to climate change but nothing over the top, just a nod to the prevailing orthodoxy. This book however, is packed full of top tier doomsday cult scaremongering. Suarez appears to have fallen for the most hysterical and least scientifically sound climate predictions. One more book in my library ruined by commie gobbledygook.

John Scalzi's brain was broken by 2020

Revisado: 03-06-23

Let's all hope that this is the last book he ruins with all of his dumb beliefs from the "pandemic." We get it, you fell for all the propaganda and you're not over it yet.

Picks a side on every conspiracy theory

Revisado: 09-27-22

I was enjoying it until they got to the point where he tells us which of all the current alternative theories about the nature of our world are true and which are false. Seems like a dumb choice for a lightweight book like this because you're guaranteed to annoy 80% of your audience. This is the kind of mistake you only make when you live in a bubble in which every one of your friends holds exactly the same political views as you. Weak.

Etcetera

You should not be able to get a job narrating an audio book until you have learned to correctly pronounce common words, like etcetera. Your accent is no excuse for pronouncing letters or syllables which do not exist.

Not original, bad narrator choice

Revisado: 03-19-21

I have enjoyed Nathan Fillion as a TV actor and he has a good reading voice, but he is a terrible choice to narrate an audio book. He is far too dramatic to maintain the consistent emphasis and volume level that is required for comfortable listening. Stop acting and read the book please. He's probably too famous to take direction from the people who put out this book.

When they say that this book is "perfectly crafted for sci-fi fans of The Martian, Red Dwarf, and We Are Legion (We Are Bob)," they mean that it is a straight ripoff with no original ideas. I am a fan of all three but I thought this was thin, weak, dumb and confused. Not recommended.

It doesn't help that the author is one of those global elite hangers on that would probably love to shove all of us into machine consciousnesses. Probably written for him by some hack. Real sci fi authors do not take their inspiration from cheesy tv shows and books that were only written 5 minutes ago.

the butthurt is real

Revisado: 08-17-20

Brain dead leftists go back in time to change the 2016 election result, prevent Brexit and thus save the world from total destruction. Tedious. This is the audiobook form of a twitter rant that should have been deleted before it was posted. Bootlickers rejoice, this one is for you.

Hack

Revisado: 01-27-20

23 tried old straw men you've heard over and over again. As far as I can tell, there is not one original thought in this book. The first chapter entirely refutes the premise of the book. Every question is begged, every refutation is simply an empty assertion. History is ignored, facts are swept under the rug. If you want to understand what happened in '08, read Meltdown by Tom Woods, which smashed this book before it was even written.

Good story but. ..

Revisado: 05-31-18

this guy just can't write. The story is good and I listened all the way to the end of the third book, but I wish I hadn't. This is the worst written story I have ever read. Almost every other word in this series is redundant, unnecessary, tautological and not needed. Not every verb needs an adverb, not every noun needs an adjective. The dialogue is extremely clunky and unnatural. I thought it would get better but it doesn't. If you've ever read a good book, this is not for you. If you're 12 and never read a book before then you won't know any better. Note to the author, if you're going to include economics in your book, read Economics in One Lesson first or you'll come off as a complete knob.

Epic story buried under pile of steaming socialism

Revisado: 08-09-17

TLDR, Bernie Bros will love this book.

The 100 biggest welfare queens in the history of our species travel to Mars, with trillions of dollars of equipment plundered from the hard working people of Earth, to rule over it as their own private fiefdom. While living in the lap of luxury, paid for by the hard work of others, they group together to heap scorn on those same working stiffs. They continue sucking on the teat of their governments, remaining completely ignorant of the work which had to be done to pay for their holiday, droning on endlessly about the need to use resources efficiently, while having no idea of the function of profits. The author is very knowledgeable about Mars, but has obviously not bothered to read about any of the groups which actually tried to start socialist commonwealths in remote lands. *Spoiler alert* they all quickly instituted private property and free trade or starved to death.

Concepts the author is completely wrong about:
Capitalism
Profit
Investment
Employment
Sustainability
Economics
Justice
Fairness
Malthusianism
etc etc
