pickThis military sci-fi adventure features a drug-addicted journalist sent to the mines of Kazakhstan, the frontline of the war being waged over a precious metal.
The world-building is great, and the interior monologue of the protag is also very good, but the protag‘s relationships with others always feel distant (deliberate?)
Still, this is a good story about a soldier‘s quest in the the tunnels, above ground, in his head, and in his heart.
3 months ago, I bailed on the audio but I‘m coming back to the story in print! The premise of a subterranean war involving genetically enhanced bioforms is irresistible!
And while I know you‘re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, the artwork by Steve Stone deserves a shoutout: Sir, is that a plasma blaster you have there, or are you just happy to see me? 😜
(You‘re turning your iPhone sideways now, aren‘t you? 😄)
bailed🎧 I‘m sorry to say that I‘m bailing on this one in audio. This is an early performance by Donald Corren and he‘s just not doing it for me for a number of reasons not the least of which is that he isn‘t shaping the narrative very well and I feel like I‘missing some great writing. I‘ll try this again when I can get my hands on the ebook or print edition.
🎧 This has been in my listening queue for years but I‘ve decided to start listening to it later today. It‘s the first in the Subterrene War Trilogy. I think it‘s mil-fic/sci-fic but I really have no idea what it‘s about yet!
pickStumbled upon this gem at the library and completely happy I did. This book is gripping from beginning to end!
