I am fond of him. For their parts, most of the Neanderthal characters were attractive to me, excepting a couple notable exceptions. I wish I had been able to see their world changed more by the contact. If I were to tell the truth, I'd really like a fourth book set in these combined worlds addressing each species coming to terms with how their social systems oppress them and changing, even a little bit. I would like to see Bandra the new main character for instance. What if, once her last daughter gave birth to her second child she finally said something about her man-mate and tried to change the major flaw in Neanderthal society? Do they petition to stop influencing the gene pool like this? How does the species react to this after so long in contact with their wild, but passionate neighbors? How does our species change after so much contact with them? There is so much COMPLEX material to work with in this combined universe, but our author chose to tell a ham-fisted battle of the sexes story with a side dish of religious skepticism. Final thoughts? I'm into it, but it could have been way better. ( ) Noeshia | Oct 23, 2020 | ) thewanlorn | Feb 24, 2020 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

In Hominids, Robert J. Sawyer introduced a character listeners will never forget: Ponter Boddit, a Neanderthal physicist from a parallel Earth who was whisked from his reality into ours by a quantum-computing experiment gone awry - making him the ultimate stranger in a strange land. In that book and in its sequel, Humans, Sawyer showed us the Neanderthal version of Earth in loving detail - a tour de force of world-building; a masterpiece of alternate history. Now, in Hybrids, Ponter Boddit and his Homo sapiens lover, geneticist Mary Vaughan, are torn between two worlds, struggling to find a way to make their star-crossed relationship work. Aided by banned Neanderthal technology, they plan to conceive the first hybrid child, a symbol of hope for the joining of their two versions of reality. Meanwhile, as Mary's Earth is dealing with a collapse of its planetary magnetic field, her boss, the enigmatic Jock Krieger, has turned envious eyes on the unspoiled Eden that is the Neanderthal world . . . Filled to bursting with his signature speculations about alternative ways of being human, exploding our preconceptions of morality and gender, of faith and love, Sawyer's Neanderthal Parallax trilogy is a classic in the making, and here he brings it to a stunning, thought-provoking conclusion.
