Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. I'm not sure why I even wanted to read this. I spotted it at the end of an Ex Machina volume. I'm glad I did read it. It's tightly written; and has strong art work. I'm disappointed that there's only one 6-issue volume. I want to know more about Nathan Kane. I think I may have liked this mostly because it pokes fun at Microsoft and Windows.
The messages of the book seem to be that exploration is sexy, computer company monopolies are insanely evil, and guns are very bad but necessary to stop bad guys. The last page tosses in a nod to the idea that we’re not prisoners of our heritage, but it’s all undercut by the way the big guns save the day by blowing up all the problems.

Lying beneath Europa's (Jupiter's moon) half-mile-thick mantle of shear ice is the only ocean in the solar system besides those on Earth. And within those cold waters could rest the key to life on Earth -- and quite possibly its extinction! It's the job of U.N. weapons inspector Nathan Kane to learn what sort of beings lie under the icy dome. But he's about to encounter resistance of the violent kind from the staff manning Earth's outpost on Europa -- and he'll like what happens even less when the long-slumbering aliens begin to awaken !

But I'm also so far behind in my TBR that I've still got books of his to be read. And, while I hate what he's done, there's also no denying that Ellis is a superb author, and I have to say, while I had no true idea what this story was about (there was a point where, if it said "Warren Ellis" on the cover, I was buying it), I enjoyed the hell out of it.
Ellis has a way of tossing in technology that's complicated, yet fascinating, and he makes it understandable, and then he uses it to full effect.
But that, on its own, would be useless if he didn't have a solid story to back it up. And in this one? He really does. The elements he ties together, the mythology that he builds in such a short time...it's brilliant.
I've seen some complaints that it should have been longer, and maybe some of the stuff was slightly rushed, but not enough to hamper the sheer enjoyment of the story.
So, while I don't love the person, I love what he's written.
But hey, that can be said of a lot of creators, can't it? ( )
