A humorous, soft-scifi story with just a bit of action. It's very much a "first book" in a series in that it doesn't resolve anything. It's all build-up and setting the stage for later, ending on a note of suspense. That's not to say it has a cliffhanger ending because nobody is actually in the midst of falling to their death, but no thread of the story ... action, romantic, social, whatever ... is resolved. That's good; I think cliffhanger endings are signs of author laziness and/or insecurity. There are some good characters with which to work in later volumes. Some are a bit caricature-like, notably Kiva, but you can roll your eyes and enjoy them, nonetheless. Somebody else mentioned H. Beam Piper and, yeah, I can sorta see that.
Scalzi continues to be almost insufferably good at his brand of fun but think-y sci-fi adventure. PrémiosNotable Lists
Faster than light travel is impossible--until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field available at certain points in space-time, which can take us to other planets around other stars. Riding The Flow, humanity spreads to innumerable other worlds. Earth is forgotten. A new empire arises, the Interdependency, based on the doctrine that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war--and, for the empire's rulers, a system of control. But when it's discovered that the entire Flow is moving, possibly separating all human worlds from one another forever, a scientist, a starship captain, and the emperox of the Interdependency must race to find out what can be salvaged from an empire on the brink of collapse. -- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
