À propos de cet audio

From the Hugo Award–winning and New York Times bestselling author of the Expanse, James S. A. Corey, comes the start of a monumental new space opera series.

HOW HUMANITY CAME TO THE PLANET CALLED ANJIIN IS LOST IN THE FOG OF HISTORY, BUT THAT HISTORY IS ABOUT TO END.

The Carryx—part empire, part hive—has waged wars of conquest for centuries, destroying or enslaving species across the galaxy in its conflict with an ancient and deathless enemy.

When they descend on the isolated world of Anjiin, the human population is abased, slaughtered, and put in chains. The best and brightest are abducted, taken to the Carryx world-palace to join prisoners from a thousand other species.

Dafyd Alkhor, assistant to a prestigious scientist, is captured along with his team.

Even he doesn’t suspect that his peculiar insight and skills will be the key to seeing past their captors’ terrifying agenda.

Swept up in a conflict beyond his control and vaster than his imagination, Dafyd is poised to become humanity’s champion—and its betrayer.

This is where his story begins.

“No one builds a universe like James S. A. Corey. The Mercy of Gods is wilder and weirder than you can imagine, and when it ends, all you’ll want is … more.”—John Scalzi, New York Times bestselling author

It's a James S. A. Corey book read by Jefferson May, need I say more?

Perfect

I haven't enjoyed a sci fi book as much since The Reality Dysfunction. Amazing concept, cracking characters, great story, good bit of science, and as well high stake philosophical conundrums/dilemmas (though I was enjoying the story too much to spend to much time thinking about those).

Just great!

Spoiler free

I felt that the book finished too early for my taste.
The characters are good, but I didn't get attached to any as much as I did in The Expanse.
I'll still follow the serie hoping for more developments.
Just manage your expectations.

Not to the levels of The Expanse

overall great book

I loved the Expanse and I’m excited to see where this new series goes. But I think it needed more to it. It felt very repetitive and lacking of good plot.

Boring Start

Massive scope and concepts. Looking forward to the next book. I hope they turn this into a series.

Great world building

Over all, I enjoyed it, but there wasn’t the same character development or emotional connection I’ve grown to love from S A Corey’s work. I’ll definitely keep reading the series, but this left me a bit wanting.

More alien, but left me alienated.

Wow, is all I can say after finishing this. truely amazing work by the pair, once again. I was totally enthralled, I'd literally sit and listen for hours. conflicted because I don't want it to end but it's too good to stop. if you're a fan of world building and have a curiosity for aliens, this one is for you. The premise is a terrifying thought that you can't help but be intrigued by. Highly recommend!

OH MY CARRYX

Strongly recommend.
First 4 chapters, I admit, were a slow start. Chapter 5 started to connect. Chapter 6 exploded. It turns out the groundwork had to be laid. The 30+ chapters onward were hands down among the best science fiction of any generation.
How does a writing duo meet expectations after something as epic as the Expanse? This book found a way. Unique approach (smaller character group, telling an equally massive story), deep characters, and a menagerie of highly satisfying cool alien elements, come together to feel at once entirely different but with the same voice and mastery.
Read this.

Amazing
