À propos de cet audio

This science fiction novel describes the epic voyage of the spacecraft Leonora Christine, which will take a 40-strong crew to a planet some 30 light years distant.

From practically the very first minute, Tau Zero sets scientific realities in dramatic tension with the very real emotional and psychological states of the travelers, exploring the effect of time contraction due to traveling at near-light speed on the human psyche. This tension is a dynamic that Anderson explores with great success over the course of the novel, as 50 crewmembers settle in for the long journey together. While they are a highly trained team of scientists and researchers and therefore professionals, they are also a community of individuals, each of them trying to create for him or herself a life in a whole new space - or, literally, in space.

It isn't long, however, before the voyage takes a turn for the worse. The ship passes through a small, uncharted nebula that makes it impossible to decelerate the ship. Their only hope is to do the opposite and speed up. But acceleration towards and within the speed of light means that time outside the spaceship passes even more rapidly, sending the crew deeper into space and further into an unknown future.

Intense attention to detail; hard but very rewarding listening; definitely repays the effort. Lots of hard science.

Intense, effective performer.

Magnificent Journey through Time and Space

Book is amazing and worth the time. It was hard at times to get into the book due to the narrator, he was mostly fine, but at the beginning I got this mental image of a constipated Captain Kirk reading, this permeated at times during the listening.

je n'arrive pas à me concentrer sur l'histoire parce que la narration est trop monotone.

Narration médiocre

I loved the premise, but I could barely stand the narrator. He was far too intense for this kind of story. It was like he was narrating a murder scene the whole time, whispering fast, clipped sentences into your ear. It was very irritating, but the story was compelling enough that I made it through to the end.

Barely made it through

Ruined by the narrator’s anxiety-inducing speech patterns. I will avoid this narrator in the future.

Excellent story
