À propos de cet audio
They've made it this far. If only that increased humanity's chances on this new planet....
Against all odds, the Ark and her 30,000 survivors have reached Tau Ceti G to begin the long, arduous task of rebuilding human civilization. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Tau Ceti G's natives, the g'tel, are coming to grips with the sudden appearance of what many believe are their long-lost gods.
But first contact between humans and g'tel goes catastrophically wrong, visiting death on both sides. Rumors swirl that the massacre was no accident. The Ark's greatest hero, Bryan Benson, takes on the mystery.
Partnered with native "truth-digger" Kexx against both of their better judgment, Benson is thrust into the heart of an alien culture with no idea how to tell who wants to worship him from who wants him dead.
Together, Benson and Kexx will have to find enough common ground and trust to uncover a plot that threatens to plunge both of their peoples into an apocalyptic war that neither side can afford to fight.
©2016 Patrick S. Tomlinson (P)2016 Audible, Inc.I really struggled with this one, but after three aborted starts I finally pushed through the early chapters to get to the meat of the story.
I wish the author had introduced the concept of the seemingly complex alien genders then stuck with they and them, because I still have to idea what zis and zher etc. means and for myself it was a constant distraction that pulled me out of the story instead of drawing me into the world.
The author draws in parallels of colonialism, industrialists, the impact of a technologically advanced people on an indigenous people, and the hope that humanity can learn to be a less predatory species.
There are some clichés, tropes etc, but they are used sparingly and only when they improve the story.
If you find yourself struggling to get through the first few chapters, keep going, it quicky becomes a "can't put it down" book.
Slow to start, give it a chance
