Steven Johnson (4)

The Thoth Imperative, the second book in the Mercury Rapids trilogy, is an excellent follow-up. It's an action packed, exciting ride full of double-dealing aliens, conniving characters, twists and turns, and the humour I've come to love from the protagonist, Bill Lewis. A great read that I highly recommend.

There are a few typos here and there, but this doesn't detract from the story at all. I've come across this with e-books before and with the quality of Steven Johnson's writing, it's something I'm happy to overlook.… (plus d'informations)

Mercury Rapids takes me back to the old days when sci-fi was my preferred genre. I would devour book after book from masters such as Wells, Bradbury, Asimov and E.E. 'Doc' Smith. I just couldn't get enough!
And now, for me, Steven Johnson is up there with the best of them. I don't know how I've missed such an incredible talent. He is brilliant in the art of storytelling.
Mercury Rapids is a compelling, humorous and well written book with a perfect balance of science fiction and science fact. It has an interesting, thought-provoking plot that will undoubtedly keep you entertained until the end. The characters are extremely likeable. I particularly favoured the protagonist, Bill Lewis. He's witty, intelligent, at times fickle, but lovable all the same.
It's been a long time since I enjoyed a science fiction tale as much as this one. It's a fun, lighthearted read that I can't recommend enough.… (plus d'informations)
