À propos de cet audio

USA Today Best-seller Rhett C. Bruno's debut sci-fi series is a gritty, space-opera epic perfect for fans of The Expanse!

Earth is a dying planet. To survive, humanity founds the Circuit, a string of colonies across the solar system, dedicated to mining resources vital to preserving what remains of mankind. Here there are no heroes or villains, only those willing to do what's necessary to survive.

The New Earth Tribunal, a powerful religious faction, has risen to rule the Circuit. They believe a Spirit within the Earth will one day appear and welcome humanity back home. Following a string of seemingly random attacks, the Tribunal suspects its mortal enemy, the Ceresians, have again rallied to challenge their absolute rule. But a new, sinister threat has arisen - and it plans to bring down the Tribunal once and for all.

Join an unlikely band of would-be saviors - the Tribunal's best spy, a roguish Ceresian mercenary, a subservient android, and a disgraced general - as they are drawn into a conspiracy destined to change the Circuit forever.

"Bruno has crafted a complex, multi-dimensional story that combines the best of his genre with age-old truths - and quandaries - about humanity, politics, religion, family, and, yes, love." (Portland Book Review)

Ce que les critiques en disent

"All the distinctive voices carry a complicated, ultimately very human, story to a powerful conclusion." (Audiofile Magazine)

Some inconsistencies in the plot, for example, there are several scenes where the same event is described from the POV of 2 characters, in one, a key event does not match up. Also, much of the physics requires the reader to suspend disbelief too much: times between distances flown seem wrong, what kind of propulsion, slowdown time for ships (you know, Newton's first law?) and a new element that increases gravity, which, if it existed, would completely defy Einstein's theory of relativity (the Earth would have to have less mass than it does, yet gravity still works for other celestial bodies that don't have gravitum). Oh Yeah, STOP CALLING IT A CLIP, IT'S A MAGAZINE!. People who have never touched a firearm call magazines, clips.

A bit melodramatic, some inconsistencies

I loved the story. All of the characters were pretty deplorable/evil but you still came to love a few. Had me wanting to keep listening to know.

The first thing I'd like to convey to anyone reading this is "You'll like it", the story is an amazing out of the box story that puts you in the future of "what would happen if" something like the world was used up by over industrialization leading to a cataclysmic devastation of earth leaving it uninhabitable for generations to come. The few remaining humans alive had to rely on other resources and technology to survive, THEN a religious cult sprang up and denied the people basic human rights and turned them into little more than slaves bent on religious perfection to avoid damnation.

Story "4 Stars for Sure!"
Narration "5 Stars - At first you may not like the monotone of the voice actor, but as you listen you'll notice the subtle changes of the characters voice, speech pattern and eventually you do see that it makes the story come to life"

I liked it!

Deceptively Thought Provoking

I'm a huge fan of The Expanse and this book filled the void. Gripping action, compelling characters and a universe built out at a solid pace kept me in it. Highly recommended.
