À propos de cet audio
Isolated from the galactic community by distance and a lack of exploitable resources, the Athosians have peacefully lived their peculiar social experiment for two hundred years. But now, the ovarian cultures dating back to the original settlement of the planet are giving out.
With the future of Athos at stake, Ethan is chosen on behalf of his cloistered fellows for a unique mission: to brave the wider universe in quest of new ovarian tissue cultures to replenish Athos' dwindling stocks. Along the way, he must tangle with covert operatives, killers, telepathy, interplanetary politics, and - perhaps most disturbingly - an indomitable female mercenary named Elli Quinn.
©1986 Lois McMaster Bujold (P)2009 Blackstone Audio, Inc.Besides being witty and entertaining, it also feels trailblazing for a novel published in the 1980s (!) as it deals with a male-only society with empathy and nuance. It also has fun as it confronts heteronormativity heads-on.
Smart, thoughtful, fast moving, and way ahead of its time, this is well-written, tightly plotted space opera.
I recommend this if you are looking for a breezy caper.
