Scariest aliens ever!

Revisado: 08-19-24

If you want scary aliens, the Charaxx(sp?} are as scary as they get. Gods. Mysterious, implacable, merciless.
I immediately began to care about the humans at the center of the story. That's what keeps me going with something like this. Scary aliens are not enough. I have to care about the people.
I can’t wait for volume II but I guess I will have to. I want to know what becomes of my new friends.

What a gem this is!

Revisado: 09-29-23

At first I thought, how can I take this seriously? Every half-aware and educated person who lived through 2020 knows that a virus as deadly as the one depicted in this novel would have burned itself out straight away. Yet Ms. Mandel, aided by compelling narration, brings the characters and situations to life with such skill that I had no choice but to suspend disbelief. Soon I found myself listening at every opportunity.

As soon as it ended I started over again

Then a week or two later, again. There is so much here. It's like an onion.
You should listen to The Passenger first though. But maybe I'm only saying that because I did.

Alastair Reynolds does it again!

Revisado: 11-14-22

I really liked this one. Compelling concept, not revealed until near the end. Kept me going. Mr. Reynolds could use a new editor though. I mean, "self-educate myself." Seriously? There were other howlers, but that one I jotted down.
But don't let that deter you. It's a great story and well told.

This is so funny!

Revisado: 09-20-22

Unless you are put off by violence, this send-up of the whole self-help industrial complex is so funny! I completed it like three monster gulps. It's not too long, it's free, and it's meta even, containing as it does a sort of cameo appearance by Audible Originals. What are you wait for?
Trigger warning though: violent deaths occur.

Hypnotic

Revisado: 08-20-22

I couldn't stop listening to it. One profound observation about the human condition after another, such as, "Identity is a story someone tells you about yourself." Or something like that.

I'll probably get the next in the series.

Revisado: 05-16-22

A over much technical detail but the story had me going. Seriously scary aliens. Not only that but they were ALIEN as fuck. Unlike some reviewers I appreciated the clear, crisp narration.

Weird aliens, advanced humans, bonkers technology

Revisado: 04-23-22

PF Hamilton does it again. It gets a little confusing near the end but he's juggling all these weird timelines resulting from relativistic space travel. Most SF authors don't even try.

Hooked

Revisado: 04-18-22

I loved it. I was hooked from the start. But then I am a little weird.
If you are of a philosophical bent the spell may work on you as well.
