À propos de cet audio

The ice is coming. It was the last thing we expected, but the world is freezing. A new ice age has dawned and humanity has been forced to confront its own extinction. Billions have fled the glaciers, crowding out the world’s last habitable zones. They can run from the ice, but they can’t escape human nature: a cataclysmic war is coming.

In orbit, a group of scientists are running the Winter Experiments, a last-ditch attempt to understand why the planet is cooling. None of the climate models they build make sense. But then they discover an anomaly, an unexplained variation in solar radiation...and something else. Close to the burning edge of the sun, they catch a fleeting glimpse of something that shouldn’t be there....

Suddenly humanity must face the possibility it is not alone in the universe. And the terrifying possibility that whatever is out there may be trying to exterminate us.

I enjoyed listening to this audio book, Winter World, by AG Riddle. Will now start book two in the series.

Excellent

A good story line, however, I felt it should have been directed towards the younger teen reader. Overall somewhat simplistic.

Lacked detail

it was enjoyable enough, I found the character development a bit predictable and the author played on a lot of cliches. I was annoyed with the multiple occurrences of ominous foreshadowing blatantly used for shocking revelations later in the story. I had a hard time developing any strong feelings one way or the other for any of the characters. The narration was acceptable but not great and in a book that includes characters from several different countries you're narrator should be good with accents, these two aren't awful, but not great either. contrary to all of this I did enjoy it and will check out the next one.

A decent story to pass the time

I love science fiction books. I grew up reading Isaac Asimov and Ray Bradbury. However, I am less keen on SciFi books that crossover to romance or fantasy. I thought the premise of the book was good and the performances were good, though I liked Ballerini's voice better. I am still on the fence as to whether to buy Book 2. So, I am reserving judgement on the series until I listen to Book 2. It's still a free listen to at the moment.

Good Sci Fi dampered by romance

Good story and entertaining. The book being written in present tense is a negative mark from me. The story would have been much better served in past tense.

Beware of present tense.

Worth a listen. Best narration I have heard yet. The story went in a completely different direction then I anticipate, I was pleasantly surprised.

Not What I Expected. ..

For a science fiction novel, generally, the fiction has to be based in science. The author plays fast and loose with much of it. In one instance the author goes into great technical detail about the vastness of space, then claims they can travel to the asteroid belt, which is actually beyond our solar system in six weeks. It takes six months to go to Mars. Considering the main character is involved in designing the space ships that take them to the artifact that is absorbing the sun's radiation and cooling the Earth, you'd think there would be an explanation of the type propulsion they use. According to one character, they could travel a significant fraction of light speed. But they never say how much.
I found both main characters unbelievable. The mission commander Jem, seemed pretty dimwitted for a geneticist. She couldn't put two and two together when it came to Oscar. James also seemed like a dumbed down genius. I never got a sense of his genius because the author didn't put enough research into the things that he was supposed to be a genius about. The author should be at least as brilliant as the most brilliant character. The relationship between them seemed implausible since they had lived together for several years, James couldn't tell her about his past, even though everyone else knew about it. The logical thing would be to tell her about it before someone else or an alien tells her.
Overall the story idea was good, but the execution came up short.

Good story, bad science

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. There was just enough science, excellent pace, and a great plot. I’m looking forward to book 2!
