At almost the same moment in humanity’s broad history, mankind discovered the means for bringing about its utter downfall. And the ability to forget it ever happened.
Customer Reviews
Good Suspence
Good suspense. Interesting story plot. I’m streaming it to see how well the TV series turned out. So far I’d say, best to listen to the audio book first (or read the story).
Too much triviality
Appreciated that they didn’t get into the backstory in the first book. But if you’re going to go into that detail, then this book did a good job with that. However, there was way too much extra fluff that didn’t contribute at all. The entire story of mission and most of the stuff about solo was either irrelevant or could’ve been captured much quicker.
I loved it
Favorite in the series.
