A rousing launch to a sci-fi series

Revisado: 03-14-19

Absolute Ambition: Memoria is a sci fi/fantasy with an environmental theme. The story begins with the introduction of planet Pearl and its valuable resource- the vim. The vim is an energy source that sits beneath the Earth surface and is being mined by the very powerful company of Megacorp. They currently have 8 reactors in the capital city of Urba but plans to build more to harness vim which is used to power machinery and gadgets on the planet. The downside however, is the pollution caused by the reactors. Enter Cirrus Stark who is a former mercenary for Megacorp but now joining hands with eco terrorists to take down Megacorp and stop the pollution that is devastating the planet and its people. They hatch a plan to bomb the reactor and the story goes on from there.

David L.Van Horne weaves a story that becomes even more complex towards the end of the book and there is obviously going to be a sequel. I enjoyed being drawn deeper and enjoyed the narration of the story as it alternates between several characters, each with their own struggles. Feelings of guilt, inadequacy, challenges to their personal belief systems, shifting loyalties, and navigation of the planet on the brink of destruction are complicated but didn't feel convoluted.

Since this is an audiobook, I enjoyed parts of the story through the wonderful narration that heightened my enjoyment of it and I recommend giving it a read.
