À propos de cet audio

Hear the second book in The Long Winter trilogy!

They decimated Earth during the Long Winter. Now the Grid has returned, and they won't stop until the human race is extinct. On a ruined world, humanity's last survivors fight against impossible odds. In their darkest hour, they discover a new hope for survival. But it comes at an unthinkable price, with consequences that will change everything.

We thought the war was over. We were wrong. After the Long Winter, Emma Matthews and James Sinclair hoped life would get back to normal. They've settled down in Camp Seven and welcomed their first child, a daughter. And they have waited and watched the sky for any signs of the Grid's return. When NASA discovers that several asteroids have broken from the Kuiper Belt and are headed for Earth, James instantly realizes the truth: the Grid is back.

And this battle will be one to the very end. As he and his team prepare for humanity's last stand in space and on the ground, Emma makes a discovery closer to home, one that will change life for her and James once again. With war raging around them, Emma and James fight to keep their family alive.

In the cold darkness, humanity splinters. New alliances emerge. At every turn, Emma and James face new dangers and question whom to trust. Just when it seems that all hope is lost, James uncovers what may be the key to humanity's survival. But it comes with enormous risks. To implement his plan, he and Emma will have to survive the Grid and another, even more deadly enemy. One thing is certain: their gambit will change the future of the human race forever.

Another fantastic AG Riddle Novel. Cant wait to read book# 3.
loved the Narrators ...Edoardo Ballerini is one of my favorite! Best thing about the book I think was Arthur's character, He was a very likeable villian!

Amazing!!

At the heart this is a very sad tale. I enjoy the hope and levity weaved in to this very modern story.

Always Brilliant

Good progress on the story, but.definitely nowhere close to the calibre of Book 1 - there is too much slow fillers, internal monologues - could have used more editing. The fact that James and Emma continue to have little ability to honestly and effectively communicate with each other has gotten even more annoying this time around.

Typical Second Book of a Series

This is a very good second effort in a captivating SciFi trilogy. Genius Roboticist James Sinclair and Astronaut Emma Matthews - now married and parents back on a decimated Earth - are central figures in a war between the remnants of humanity and "The Grid" (a Borg-like species of aliens working towards the Singularity - the absorption and conversion of biological life into collective pure energy). The novel strikes a nice balance between exploring science-informed hypothetical situations, discussing philosophical questions in human evolution, demonstrating worthy features of human existence (particularly empathy and altruism), and providing a fairly exciting action-based plot (although less effectively than in the first book). The "Pop-Psychology" aspects (survivors guilt and PTSD) are heavy-handed, the combat encounters are well-constructed (but poorly executed), and the Science is somewhat weak, but the overall scenario is plausible. This is quality writing from A.G. Riddle providing a story that Crichton or S.A. Corey fans would appreciate.

The performance from Amanda Leigh Cobb (narrating from Emma's perspective) and Edoardo Ballerini (reading James) is weaker than in the first book (subpar accent delivery is more noticeable in this one, for example).. but they still provide an above-average narration with respectable cadence, tone, and emotiveness.

The first book ('Winter World') is likely necessary to best understand the characters and events in this installment - this is a typical second novel (minimal standalone merit) in that respect.. but 'The Solar War' provides a decent SciFi plot and solid entertainment value. I rate it 7.5 stars out of 10.

Great SciFi Follow-up

There is not much action in this book, I was expecting more combat against the grid, but there is not much on that front. The plot of this book is overall appealing, there is not as much suspense in this book as in winter world. Winter world was better because they defeated the grid, but in this one the grid one. I can't wait to see what happens next in the lost colony.

It leaves a lot of unanswered questions about the future! Waiting for the release of the last book of the series.

Want the end!!

I really enjoyed this series. both books have enough suspense to keep me engaged. the characters were fleshed out an interesting. i hope to see a third book to finish the story. Narrators were good and using both male and female voices was a good choice.

kept me entertained

I enjoyed the story and the narration. Although it was in the plus catalogue, if I had bought it on a monthly sale I would not feel my money was wasted. Having said that, I may have to use a credit for the 3rd one or wait to see if it goes on sale because I want to know the ending.

I enjoyed this one too.

I really don't know how to review this one. The premiss is interesting enough, as with the first book. I like Edoardo Ballerini as a narrator but his attempts at so accents is lacking, still he does a serviceable job and I would give pretty much the exact same review of the other narrator. My big problem with most of this book is that as it is told from the view of two characters, the Emma side of the story is boring.

She represents half of the book and at least half of her story is spent teaching book club and discussing school curriculum and mental health. I understand things like that play a part in an end of the world scenario, but when I came for a book about aliens trying to wipe out the human race, drawn out sections about book club really slow things down. I nearly started skipping her chapters but I managed to fight of the urge.

There is mystery here that kept things interesting, especially since I used this book to fill time in the car or working around the house and wasn't banking on a riveting tale. I'm curious enough that I will likely finish the series.

Not Awful, not great
