It was not until I received it and really looked at it that I realized that this is book two. Not to worry as I am not one of those types that has to read books in order. It just depends on the type of series the book is in as to whether it can be read by jumping right in or not. Luckily for me I was able to jump right into this book. Although it did take me a few chapters to warm up to every one and fully understand all of their roles in the story. For me however it was not really the characters that made the story for me but the actual world that the story took place in. It felt very futuristic and what I actually could envision the world looking like in the future. In addition, I liked how the name of each character was at the beginning of each chapter so that it helped lead the way as to who's main voice was taking the lead at that moment. There was so many characters and so this helped to keep everything clear and concise. The ending for each character was good. I do look forward to checking out more books by this author.

Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
When the post-human Next suddenly re-appear in a solar system that banished them, humans are threatened. Their reactions vary from disgust and anger to yearning to live forever like the powerful Next, who are casually building a new city out of starships in the heart of the re-wilded planet Lym. The first families of Lym must deal with being invaded while they grapple with their own inner fears. Ranger Charlie Windar is desperate to save his beloved planet. The Next are building strange cities he never imagined, and other humans who want to destroy the Next are his worst enemies. Ambassador Nona Hall strives to forge links between the powerful station she's from, The Diamond Deep, and the people of Lym. The formidable merchant Gunnar Ellensson appears to be up to no good, and as usual his motivations are suspect. Why is he sending ships to Lym, and what does he intend to do with them when he arrives? The Shining Revolution threatens to undo everything by attacking the Next on Lym, and their desire to eradicate the post-humans is greater than their desire to save humanity's home. It is entirely possible that they will draw the wrath of the Next onto all of humanity. In the meantime, the Next's motives remain inscrutable. Why are they here at all? What do they want? Why are they interested in the ancient past of a planet that has been ravaged and rebuilt at least once? Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
