![]() ![]() This was ably assisted by narrator, Julian Pearson, who read well, great inflection, steady pace and oh, so soothing. Worked for me: I was only able to listen to a short length before nodding off. Personally, I was reminded strongly of the type of story book a slightly oddball parent reads to a delighted child at night, exciting and daring, suspenseful - and it really doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense, or slips into a different time frame, because it is magical, far away from real life and a great precursor to sleep. ![]() ![]() And I never could determine if it was supposed to be funny. Yes, there is a space ship and a simulator (where the hero seemingly fights endlessly), and mention of genetic manipulation but it is outweighed by constant feelings of intuitions and sort of energy auras and mind readings, and overall there is the dream-like fantasy veil. ![]() It is very heavy on the fantasy, though, and I am not a fan, I fear, much preferring a far more fulfilling science fiction base. This is a fresh re-imagined look at a post apocalyptic (in fact, three times apocalyptic) world that is very different from most. I can understand why this book has received numerous five star reviews. ![]()
