Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  Paul_S | Dec 23, 2020 |    ) autumnturner76 | Oct 4, 2018 | A tragedy strikes California as a piece of NASA engineering crashes down to Earth and John Orville, an engineer at NASA can’t do anything to stop it. He thinks that he’s lost everything too, his child and his wife in the crash. So, he signs up to work as an engineer on Mars. Once he arrives, he starts to notice that things aren’t so much like they seem. Follow John as he tries to uncover the real truth about what is really happening on the red planet. Chris Abell did narration for this, and he does a wonderful job. I really thought that Chris used the perfect voice for Chris, and gave the other characters really believable and well-done voices too. The quality of this recording was perfect, with no noticeable issues. The Martian Conspiracy started off a little weird. I was trying to figure out why we were in California. But the whole first third of the book is to set the scene for who John is and what his motives are. I actually had to pause the audiobook at one point to make sure that I was actually listening to this book. Funny though, right after I did that a scene took place that changes where we were pretty quickly. With that being said, I don’t think that the beginning was unnecessary, it was just a bit confused when I thought I was reading a book about Mars and it spent a good amount of time NOT on Mars. After we got to Mars, the action really started to pick up. Part sleuth/mystery and part sci fi thriller – this book has something for a lot of readers. I found myself really enjoying the story and staying up too late to get further into the story. The story arc and character arcs were really well done too. I enjoyed the progress that each character had throughout and the interaction between them. Overall, a well done science fiction novel, that really had some thought involved in it. I like the mixture of mystery, science fiction, and thriller. It was something different from the average sci-fi book. Audiobook was provided for review by the author.

A rouge interplanetary cargo ship impacts central California, devastating the west coast of the United States. In the chaos and destruction, NASA engineer, John Orville, searches for his wife and son in the ruins near San Francisco. Time passes, and he transfers to the Martian colony. But troubles follow. A paramilitary unit arrives, a dome explodes, and John Orville discovers the true nature of his assignment. Praise for The Martian Conspiracy: "A hard sci-fi novel with shades of Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars, though much faster-paced. If, like me, you dream of living on Mars you should read this book."- Graeme Shimmin, Author of A Kill in the Morning "The Martian Conspiracy takes readers on a futuristic journey, but it's grounded in good storytelling and characters worth rooting for." - Danielle Nadler, Deputy Editor, Northern Virginia Media Services Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The plot is pretty straightforward, complete with obvious villains and minimal twists (more like gentle curves) and if you didn't see it coming you clearly haven't watched enough cartoons when you were a kid. (
