Chargement... Valhai (The Ammonite Galaxy)par Gillian Andrews
   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  AlaskanBookie | Sep 23, 2013 |    ) lysne | Aug 1, 2013 | I enjoy audiobooks while driving and this was a good time filler. Ms. Andrews has come up with an interesting 'coming of age' - 'first encounter' story and I enjoyed listening to it. The audio was well edited and she was a pleasure to listen to. The story definitely has a feel of 'Young Adult' to it and should be appropriate to most age levels. There's much worse on evening television. I seemed to find some technical nitpicks during my listening that gave me a minor distraction. As I was driving, I didn't get notes made on most of them. [SPOILER ALERT] Arcan at one point expresses tremendous remorse over the events that took place under the surface of the lake; those events seemed to be under control of the Sellites. Either Arcan was responsible and felt guilty, or the Sellites were responsible and it was out of the control of Arcan; he was just an unwitting dupe. I don't see the Sellites leaving the donors under the lake, in ever increasing numbers of bubbles. This has been going on for some time, and, if not at least a waste of resources, surely there would be a finite limit to the number of bubbles in the lake. There was another having to do with the tubes and life support delivery system after Arcan recovered, that I just can't dredge up. [END OF SPOILER] All in all, a good listen and I gave it a 3.5 (a 4 would be a book I want to listen to again and a 5 I could listen too multiple times.)

Six has survived ten of his fourteen years as an outcast in subzero temperatures - being drugged and shipped off to another planet as an unwilling apprentice is not going to make him a victim. Neither is his travelling companion, who makes it clear she isn't keen on sharing space with a no-name like him. No wonder she's on the apprentice program - Six is amazed her aristocratic family managed to put up with her for so long. Their destination is Valhai - a planet in orbit around a red dwarf star - where they are to spend so much time in a strange solitary confinement that even the sight of each other might be welcome. Nobody on Valhai seems to know or care what happens to the apprentices - until one hesitant girl with an uncertain future of her own stumbles across the real nature of the donor program- -and the biggest surprise on Valhai, which has been lying dormant for thousands of years, wakes up ...
