Defending Elysium

so-so

Another great story from Sanderson. The compact format is definitely different for him as his books tend to be 300-1,000 pages long. But, he was able to get the story out and give it a James Bond sci-fi feel to it still.

However, the books seems to start and stop abruptly and with no other strong connections to his other worlds. It just doesn't hold the same quality that I've come to expect from such a prolific writer.

EadieB This story originally appeared in the October/November 2008 Asimov‘s Science Fiction (in the US) and the UPC Science Fiction collection (in Europe).

“An image came to him. An image of humankind escaping into space. An image of human merchants trading and cheating, of human tyrants capturing the Varvax, Tenasi, and Hommar. Images of wars, of fighting, of a paradise destroyed.“

EadieB Oddly enough, the ones who made first contact were an outdated, nearly bankrupt phone company. Second contact was made by the United Governments Military when they accidentally shot down a Tenasi ambassadorial vessel. The Phone Company negotiated Earth out of danger following the Tenasi incident. The Phone Company had brought FTL communication to humankind. 4y

EadieB And Phone Company operative Jason Write has sworn to keep the galaxy safe from the barbaric humans who would ruin the Elysium that the galactic races currently enjoy. 4y
