Nice thriller! Really liked it. Cette critique a été rédigée pour LibraryThing Member Giveaways. Poet of the Moon is an action-packed sci-fi, dystopian thriller that can be read over a weekend. You will find yourself grateful you do not live in a time like this! Convicted of terrorism without a trial, eventually destined to die - or get revenge! You'll root for the main character to break free! A very thought provoking novel. Highly recommend. Cette critique a été rédigée pour LibraryThing Member Giveaways. LT:ER. Clay Alexander lives in the Edge but is looking for a way out. The way is blocked by a system run by the Oligoi. When he falls in love with the wife of an Oligoi he is framed and sent to the moon where he is expected to quietly die. But he refuses to do that. His musings on the human condition lead to unrest among the masses and the beginning of the revolution. Set in a post ecological disaster world and its consequences. A little slow to start but a strong ending. (I want to know more about the crows!) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Poet Of The Moon A man said to the universe . . . Climate Change is in the past, though the consequences still persist: smaller landmass, spillover pandemics, cheap 3D printed housing and an authoritarian state run by the church and the Oligoi. Clay Alexander has been outside the system his entire life, skirting between the Clergy class and the others. But an error in judgement puts him front and center on the battle lines between classes. Without a trial he is convicted of being a terrorist and sentenced to life . . . on the most brutal reality show in history, and one there is no hope of escaping. He gets sent to die on Fugitive Base. His choice is simple: die as expected, or abandon his humanity and find a way off that rock and get revenge. And along the way, he learns more about what it means to be human in a world turned upside down. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

This book is an action packed sci-fi thriller set in a future where Earth's oceans have risen and have forced humanity to live in closer proximity to one another and forge a new, oligarchical, society.
Our protagonist, Clay Alexander, comes from the lower class of society, our antagonist, Edward Burgess, from the highest class of society, The Oligoi, and our love interest, Sarah, is the bridge between the two worlds, having been born low class and marrying into the high class.
After being falsely accused of a crime, Clay is found guilty and sentenced to a gladiatorial-type arena on the moon where it is kill or be killed. Here Clay must decide what he is willing to do, and give up, to survive.
This book was really good though it had a bit of a slow start. The characters especially were very well written, though I do wish that Sarah had been flushed out a bit more.
What kept me from giving this 5 stars was that I found the ending to be rather anticlimactic. ( )
