À propos de cet audio

2018 Locus Award, Best Science Fiction Novel

Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars.

Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

The Flow is eternal - but it is not static. Just as a river changes course, The Flow changes as well, cutting off worlds from the rest of humanity. When it's discovered that The Flow is moving, possibly cutting off all human worlds from faster-than-light travel forever, three individuals - a scientist, a starship captain, and the empress of the Interdependency - are in a race against time to discover what, if anything, can be salvaged from an interstellar empire on the brink of collapse.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Fans of Game of Thrones and Dune will enjoy this bawdy, brutal, and brilliant political adventure." (Booklist)

"Scalzi has constructed a thrilling novel so in tune with the flow of politics that it would feel relevant at almost any time." (Entertainment Weekly)

"Political plotting, plenty of snark, puzzle-solving, and a healthy dose of action…Scalzi continues to be almost insufferably good at his brand of fun but think-y sci-fi adventure." (Kirkus Reviews)

i enjoyed the story and the characters very much. Pleasantly surprised at Wil Wheaton's narration. I never suspected he had narration talent. Bring in the next instalment.

Great story and we'll performed

Like all Sclazi scifi, these books breeze by quickly without stumbling over the details of the world building too much. It may not satisfy the hard scifi fans, but for a little futuristic escapism, it does the trick.

Looking forward to the rest of this series.

Great pacing, and a solid set of characters

Ok let's be honest. Will Wheaton makes everything better. This is a great story. I haven't consuming anything by Scalzi since old Mans war. And just seeing whkntbe narrator was brought me in. Glad it did. You will be too

Really enjoyable listen

Pretty short. Not enough meat to really stand alone as its own novel. Wil was great and the story is a good prelude but it really only sets up the story for the next book. Expect to buy all three.

Very short

Loved it! Really great story from Scalzi. As good as Old Man's War. Definitely need the sequel. I mean NEED!

Solid performance by Wheaton. He's not my favorite, and sometimes injects intonation that seems out of character for the Characters, but he's on point and consistent.

Sequel! Now dammit! October 2018 is too far away.

Hell yes!

I almost never laugh while reading, or in this case listening to an audiobook, but this one definitely did it for me. Wheaton is perfect for this series and I can’t wait to continue.

Hilarious

Very well written, changes things up enough to keep you interested. Characters are also very interesting and believable. Will Wheaton also does a pretty decent job. #Audible1

Engrossing

John Scalzi never disappoints. His writing is imaginative, intelligent, witty and addictive. Sarcasm is almost a separate character in this fun novel.

Okay, I loved this book so I need to hear more...
