Probability Moon
Probability Moon | Nancy Kress
6 posts | 9 read | 1 to read
Humankind has expanded out into interstellar space using star gates-technological remnants left behind by an ancient, long-vanished race. But the technology comes with a price. Among the stars, humanity encountered the Fallers, a strange alien race bent on nothing short of genocide. It's all-out war, and humanity is losing. In this fragile situation, a new planet is discovered, inhabited by a pre-industrial race who experience "shared reality"-they're literally compelled to share the same worldview. A team of human scientists is dispatched-but what they don't know is that their mission of first contact is actually a covert military operation. For one of the planet's moons is really a huge mysterious artifact of the same origin as the star gates . . . and it just may be the key to winning the war. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Hard SciFi which actually forced me to look up some science stuff I wasn't really conversant with. I love when that happens!

Quite interesting ideas, involving physics and earth science and sociology. I'm looking forward to more in the series.

I loved this book. I listened to it (on recommendation) and the narration was indeed excellent. It‘s only a little difficult to grok the hard SF info dumps while driving! 😂 They were few and far between and actually not tedious as that sort of info in a novel can be sometime. No, this book had an excellent balance of Hard and Soft SF elements. There were some shocking things that happen and really a lot to think about. Definitely one to reread.

tournevis Kress is marvelous 7y
DivaDiane I have loved each book of hers I read. Have you read Beggars in Spain? 7y

I started a new audiobook. This was recommended to me and I‘ve read other fiction by Kress that I have really enjoyed. So far it has all the elements of a great Social Science Fiction story.
