À propos de cet audio
2057. Humanity has raised exploiting the solar system to an art form. Bella Lind and the crew of her nuclear-powered ship, the Rockhopper, push ice. They mine comets. And they're good at it.
The Rockhopper is nearing the end of its current mission cycle, and everyone is desperate for some much-needed R & R, when startling news arrives from Saturn: Janus, one of Saturn's ice moons, has inexplicably left its natural orbit and is now heading out of the solar system at high speed. As layers of camouflage fall away, it becomes clear that Janus was never a moon in the first place. It's some kind of machine - and it is now headed toward a fuzzily glimpsed artifact 260 light-years away. The Rockhopper is the only ship anywhere near Janus, and Bella Lind is ordered to shadow it for the few vital days before it falls forever out of reach. In accepting this mission, she sets her ship and her crew on a collision course with destiny - for Janus has more surprises in store, and not all of them are welcome.

Mean girls in space
Another reviewer said it, and at the core it’s spot on. Other than that, when the story starts jumping ahead in larger and larger spans of time it feels like the first half is normal time, and the later half is epilogue after epilogue to the end where we drop back out to normal time. At which point, I’d rather not listen to play-by-play any more and just want it over.

Incredible. One of Reynolds' best
I loved the entire Revelation Space series, and am a big time Reynolds fan.
I think Pushing Ice is his best work, and has become one of my favourite books. I only wish that there was a sequel, but sometimes things are better left as stand-alone stories.
I absolutely love the pace of these books. Reynolds has an uncanny ability to know exactly how to pace his stories. I rarely think that I am in a "boring" part of the book. I really appreciate that Reynolds understands that sometimes it's better to tell the reader what is happening or has happened in a few short sentences, rather than entire chapters devoted to unnecessary filler content.

Unique backdrop, Boring execution, problematic narration
I liked the idea. Politics were heavy and a bit unbelievable. Was often hard to follow as an audiobook though because important pauses were frequently missing and the narrator often mixed up the accents of the various characters so following dialog was difficult. Gave up after 3/4 out of boredom.

Fun premise, disappointing execution
The further I got into this book the less I liked it. Some fun Sci-fi concepts that could have been great if they were fleshed out properly and weren’t almost completely overshadowed by the tedious rivalry of the two main characters. By the end, the characters felt flat, and the narrative was so long winded and needlessly repetitive as to be downright frustrating. So many ideas and plot points with potential that just fizzle out. Characters get killed, but you don’t really care because they are so two-dimensional. At times, the dialogue could give Plan 9 from Outer Space a run for its money. A good editor probably could’ve made this a great book.

Outstanding story
Refreshing book with novel ideas. Biggest disappointment was when I came to the end of the book and had no more left to enjoy.

this book gets ALL the stars
if I could go and reduce every 5 star book I've ever read to 4 stars just so this book would be my only 5 star book, I would. characters are on point, the adventure makes sense and leaves you wanting more always, and the science in it scratches that science fiction itch in a brain pleasing way

Not one of Alastair Reynolds best books.
I’ll talk about the Narrator first because he holds this book up. His various voices and cadences really work to make the audio book listenable. Now to the storyline. And a warning, there’s a bit of the plot discussed so stop right here if you don’t want to hear it. Here’s the great big elephant in the room in my opinion. This killed the book for me. What would the Author go on about locking up a woman for twelve years. Twelve years! Really. Then fight over a fish tank.
That destroyed what was an excellent book for me. Not one of his best, by far.
