pickHadn‘t read an Alan Dean Foster Book since Quozl (1989). He‘s one of the most consistent and prolific writers in Sci-fi and I‘m not sure why I haven‘t read many of his books but I loved Quozl. Relic is a great escape. The story of lone surviving humans getting along with aliens and each other Relic is more about human nature than other worlds. There are some surprises and it kept me turning pages. I hope Foster has a follow-up book!
so-soOverall it was enjoyable twist on the last man in earth concept with lots of interesting science fiction explorations but lacked enough focus to make it truly suck you in. In the end it felt more like an outline for a great series instead of one in its own right. Narrator Marc Thompson gives a strong performance particularly in allowing you to feel the emotions of the main character and voicing the alien species.
One of the problems with finish an audiobook on a Tuesday is that it‘s new release day. So, you have to decide between a book that‘s been sitting on your TBL pile or the new one that just showed up. I‘m a huge fan of George Pelecanos even before his time writing for The Wire but the premise of Relic has me intrigued and it‘s been waiting patiently for me to give it a go. #audiobook
so-soMy first experience with the author, this book has a great premise but the epic scope puts some of the characters at more of a remove and makes it harder to connect. But the ending is the most fascinating and makes me wonder if a sequel is planned.
