Book 102🎧 4⭐️

I listed to this one because it was mentioned a few time in the FROM📺 conspiracies😂

I‘m not quite sure if I get it aside from the cover looking like the photo of Boyds cottage.

These are Anunnaki! Who are Anunnaki you ask? Old older than old Sumerian gods that mated with Homo erectus via IVF to create humans as a slave species

WHAT?? That can‘t be true!

Of course it isn‘t! It‘s retrofitting mythology to entertain crackpot theories. Zecharia Sitchin? Erich von Däniken?

One way ticket to Crazytown *but* entertaining. Nick Redfern is the same. Pseudoarchaeology for bored archaeologists. Indulge with that in mind. ?

This has the right title, I feel like I've been reading it for an eternity and nothing has happened. I don't know if it's because Mack Reynolds passed away before finishing it, and Dean Ing completed the story, but it moves like s friggin glacier. I don't mind a slow burn mystery but this is ridiculous. #hailthebail

The girl he had met on a bench in the plaza near the bus stop had told him the only hotel in town suitable for a gringo was the Casa de Sierra Nevada.

Oh, yes please. The blend of sci fi how could technology help to figure out the origins of immortality - and history/archaeology - looking back on how the continuity of an unkillable human would affect the civilizations they interact with, the flow of myths, information, even artifacts. And then there's the plight of the immortal warrior - so much loss and no rest - and then there's the very well plotted/paced intrigue 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 around what the scientists are up to and the well-choreographed gore fests that are Unute's every outing. Glad I'll be able to get the next volume from my library soon, honestly a little bummed that it's the last one in the series. Here's hoping Reeves' book with China Mieville really does build on this series, because I'd love to see the premise further expanded upon!

#ShadowCat is doing yoga. Guess he needed some time on the mat.

I'll give him a few more minutes and continue with the tagged #ARC.

Another book that seems to have no plot and would‘ve benefited from editing.

Well, this is a serious WTF moment. Keanu Reeves and China Miéville have written a book together (?!) and I (?!?!) have been invited on NetGalley to read an early copy?!? What is happening? Am I in the Matrix?

vivastory My brother was talking about this a few months ago. I had to admit I was intrigued as I love Mieviele!! Keanu Reeves also co-wrote a pretty successful graphic novel series recently. 10mo

Mehso-so

It was fine in terms of writing style but all the adults aside from Angus felt dumbed down which felt like a disservice. It felt odd to read about existential subjects aimed at 10-year-olds (gotta start them early on philosophy I guess)

The age gaps feel a bit awkward, even if the adults feel very childlike. It was all over the place and messy in other aspects.
