best sci Fi I've read in years

Hamilton came out of left field and just lapped Reynolds and is rivaling Banks. this book goes hard in every way it could have gone and keeps producing surprises every chapter.

stuck the landing

Revisado: 12-19-21

9 books and it seems highly likely that they had a plan from the get go, execution = incredible. remember how 2001 was an amazing book and described the monolith? there's a lot of other novels that cover big ideas that don't fit into human understanding very well. this is THE BEST executing into a difficult post human topic I've ever seen. read more than 400 sci-fi titles in my life, this book needs awards

surprisingly good

Revisado: 12-04-21

amazing premise, typical Andy weir style. however, a lot more thought went into this novel then The Martian, it is obvious. All in all, I would consider this a big idea book, which is somewhat rare in science fiction. books with premise. this solid don't come around all of the time, there could be a little bit more work with Andy's delivery. however, I thoroughly enjoyed this novel

best yet in the series!

Revisado: 07-06-20

it finally all comes together for the crew. much of what we all wanted to get more information from - we got!

there's even more questions now, but choosing the t loop on many of these intellectual threads worked out great.

book was riveting and the best written of the three so far.

deep time with a twist

Revisado: 07-21-17

so you like stories that run 6 million years, involve clones, relativistic travel, futuristic weapons, civilizations of all kinds, and a mystery run in through it? Well then you are in luck - easily the most satisfying deep time novel I've ever read.

of all of Reynolds this book may be his best, even if it's not as well known as his other series.

brutal, beautiful, and scarily possible. the author is poetic at times and writes great action.

decent

military sci Fi. I'm just not a huge fan of the genre. reader was excellent. computerized voice was a nice touch. author repeated himself near the end like it was rushed.

narrator is difficult, story is AMAZING

Revisado: 08-16-16

dunno what others said but listen to this. it is not a good choice for a sci-fi newbie. but the story is really good and there are reasons it won every award in the industry worth getting at once as a debut for the author.

I think I'm up to about 3.5 months of listen time on audible and all of it sci-fi. much of it I was nonplused, much of it I was transported. this book will rank in the later.

a bit bloated but started very strong

Revisado: 05-20-16

Asher starts off very well, indeed he went up in my estimation because of those first 100 pages. Asher's typical smash it up comes on strong in the latter half but this book could have been a bit shorter. i have read nearly everything he's written and he gets better with practice, in general his books have increased in skill over the years. however I will always prefer the Banks, Reynolds and Hamiltons more. that does not mean I dislike Asher, but there is something about his earlier sci-fi that turned me off. still I've read everything and he does a good job of bringing the story into interesting places. this book represents a new style for him. another reader commented that this was more like Richard Morgan. i agree, for those first 150 pages, afterwards the monsterama tries to kick in but without any alien creatures or dangerous million years old nano tech to do it with bee is left with robots... very cool and deadly sounding robots mind you.

all in all this book delivered a good yarn and I'll read the other two.

This is an excellend Sci-Fi novel

Would you consider the audio edition of Pandora's Star to be better than the print version?

In most cases I believe the audio format is better than printed, as the performer is able to add inflection and change his tone or pitch for different characters. This performer is no different.

While the reading doesn't sound as professional as many Audio books do, the performance is unique. The reader is able to give the listener the impression that the Characters voice is raised without actually yelling into the mic. I haven't found that happening in many of these audio book readings before.

Overall the Story line is superb and the recording is excellent. I highly recommend.

Only con: The story and it's tracks could be broken up more. I haven't lost my place yet, but doing it 3.6 hours into an 8 hour track would really stink to try and find my place.

What about John Lee’s performance did you like?

His voice and impressions.
