Into the Light is the long-delayed, if not long-awaited, sequel to Out of the Dark by David Weber and Chris Kennedy. The invading aliens have been destroyed, and the country is beginning to recover from the apocalypse. The story has second-act problems. The plot focuses on the efforts of the former governor of North Carolina to form a world government that can use the technological head start given us by the aliens to rebuild civilization and make us players in interstellar politics. But it is all a build-up to the military action in To Challenge Heaven, book three of the trilogy. Each episode in the second book is compelling, but a reader is apt to tap the foot and mutter, “Get on with it, please.” ( ) Excellent Weber! Now I have to find the first one. The Shongari made a mistake when they took on Earth and did not kill every last soul on the planet -- we have long memories when someone tries to annihilate us. The Hegemony that sent them will pay also. But to do this we need allies, so into the galaxy we go, learning, recruiting, and planning. Our first contact is with the planet Sarth..... Sparks of life but too much process time on world building! As an avid Weber fan, this has all the earmarks of a great series. Yet I found myself skipping page after page of process minutia. I was drowning in a sea of detail gasping for any sign of action! Like good homemade bread it takes ingredients, structure and time mixed with heat to make good bread. This is not baked with enough fire to be palatable. I read it and like the premise! And if I hear "gang aft agley" one more time...! I get it this is a filler between two time periods, but sometimes we don't need all the detail! Please do better gentlemen! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"The Shongairi conquered Earth. In mere minutes, half the human race died, and its cities lay in shattered ruins. But the Shongairi didn't expect the survivors' tenacity. And, crucially, they didn't know that Earth harbored two species of intelligent, tool-using bipeds. One of them was us. The other, long-lived and lethal, was hiding in the mountains of eastern Europe, the subject of fantasy and legend. When they emerged and made alliance with humankind, the invading aliens didn't stand a chance. Now Earth is once again ours. Aided by the advanced tech the aliens left behind, we're rebuilding as fast as we can. While a select few of our blood-drinking immortals are on their way to the Shongairi homeworld, having comandeered one of their starships...the planet-busting kind"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
