I enjoyed reading this book despite the onslaught of negative reviews. I will admit that there were a few dry spots along the way but ultimately this story was very entertaining. To be quite honest the name of the book is indeed The Serene Invasion and knowing this fully the reader should understand if they're looking for some serious hack and slash laser gun shootouts, please look elsewhere. ( ) Lightweight and frothy, there's a great book in there, based around a fascinating idea. In the absence of violence, when even an inadvertent act which would cause suffering is impossible, would we still be human? What would be the ramifications for society, for our very identity? Unfortunately, none of this is explored in any meaningful way by Brown, who instead creates a plodding series of crisis points, each of which is avoided by some variant of Deus Ex. Dull and uninspiring, this is best avoided. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: In 2025, the Serene arrive from Delta Pavonis V, and change mankind's destiny forever. The gentle aliens bring peace to an ailing world â?? a world riven by war, terrorism and poverty, by rising conflicts over natural resources â?? and offer an end to need and violence. But not everyone supports the seemingly benign invasion. There are those who benefit from conflict, who cherish chaos, and they will stop at nothing to bring back the old days. When Sally Walsh is kidnapped by terrorists and threatened with death, it seems that only a miracle can save her life. Geoff Allen, photo-journalist, is contacted by the Serene and offered the opportunity to work with the aliens in their mission. For Sally, Geoff, and billions of other citizens of Earth, nothing will ever be the same again.. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
