   Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  acb13adm | Sep 13, 2023 |   typical cool alien ideas, slow action 2006 Review: humans join the galaxy, loaned a bad planet, find a supermachine from a long lost alien race. Mainly about politics[among humans coming to the world and aliens as they juggle how to keep them from taking over], but not bad. (  ) BookstoogeLT | Dec 10, 2016 | ( ) kevbayer | Jun 20, 2014 | ) ptdilloway | Nov 21, 2013 | Characters: Exactly like all of Zahn's characters. I mean, in his future, everyone might as well have a PhD in physics. They're just conduits. Plot: It's a mystery. Basically "Rama" with a little more action. And yet, that hint of mystery and the unknown keeps me turning the pages. Style: Utilitarian without actually being boring. He does nothing wrong and has just a touch of pizzazz.

A "brisk and entertaining" novel of a barren, mysterious planet that may save humanity--or destroy it--by the author of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (Publishers Weekly). Chasing a new frontier, humankind sends a manned starship into the universe and away from the overpopulated Earth in hopes of finding a new planet to colonize. But every Earthlike world they discover is already inhabited. As it turns out, the universe is a very crowded place. An alien council offers to lease the one remaining uninhabited world: Astra, a bleak and barren but serviceable planet. The new settlement, though, quickly experiences serious problems, from dying crops to the mysterious disappearance of anything and everything that is made of metal. And then Astra reveals a secret neither the aliens nor the human governments could ever have imagined. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

What is it with modern story tellers that they seem completely unable to make their plots believable? I'm not referring to the opening scenes that are background, but basic flaws that make no sense. Like paying large amounts to LEASE a planet that's got serious flaws...what would you do with it? Put a bunch of your own planets' strained resources which you CANNOT RECOVER into attempt to make it habitable, and start populating it? Then what when your lease is up? DNF (
