Good start to a new alternate history series as a subset of the world's population moves to an alternate Earth. ( ) It’s not terrible The writing is decent, the plot moves well. There is a bit too much ‘tell’ in the form of infodumps early on, but that happens in series starters. And the characters are a little too universally competent. The politics are just *so* overt. Chokingly overt. I say that as a conservative who leans libertarian and largely *agrees* with the underlying concepts. This is akin to being repeatedly slapped with a dead fish. I don’t know. It just didn’t capture my imagination. Too predictable, maybe? Too obvious? This does not compare well to Ringo. Similar themes, but wildly different skills in storytelling.

Appartient à la série
In 2031, holding to the concept of Individual Liberty can get you killed. Western Civilization is in collapse, a process led and driven by the world's leading supposed democracies, our own included. What was once the western world's guiding light of Liberty is quickly being replaced by state sponsored serfdom under the guise of a global economic re-set done in the name 'the workers.' The people of The Program have seen the unfettered growth of government power coming for decades and they've worked in secret since the 1950's on engineering their way around and through the multiverse established by Quantum theory. They aren't perfect and they've lost the political fight to the left's government power and to the right's corporate statism. The world's people have been force fed a political chasm between left and right for so long they don't recognize that the governments themselves drive this supposed battle while ensnaring everyone. Those that see the truth, people from nearly every country on the planet, have banded together in secret knowing they can't win. Not on this world. They're leaving... ... but new destinations rarely mirror the guide book. The thing about a new empty world is that they may not be the only ones willing to fight for it. A debut novel, the first in a series from a former CIA operations officer who has decided that his lifelong writing habit/hobby/obsession is more fun than "real" work.-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
