Historia
The Book of Feasts & Seasons is a beautifully mind-bending stroll with a grandmaster of science fiction through the annual Catholic calendar. Over the course of the year, from January to December, the author takes his inspiration from 10 different holidays and explores their meanings in a series of stories of marvelous imagination. The book begins with New Year's Day and "The Meaning of Life as Told Me by an Inebriated Science Fiction Writer in New Jersey".

Historia
Once, in a theater long ago and far, far away, young audiences who watched the nostalgic space epic of yesteryear, known then only as Star Wars, were duly enthralled. So much goodwill, so much affection, and so much love has rarely been lavished on any franchise. So much money from so many eager fans was never so readily available. Yet, with one potent death star-like blast of mind-breakingly awful filmmaking, the Disney Corporation has managed to alienate that goodwill, spurn that affection, and lose that money.

Historia
Five days after Owen Zastava Pitt pushed his insufferable boss out of a 14th story window, he woke up in the hospital with a scarred face, an unbelievable memory, and a job offer. It turns out that monsters are real. All the things from myth, legend, and B-movies are out there, waiting in the shadows. Some of them are evil, and some are just hungry. Monster Hunter International is the premier eradication company in the business. And now Owen is their newest recruit.

Historia
When Michael Moorcock began chronicling the adventures of the albino sorcerer Elric, last king of decadent Melniboné, and his sentient vampiric sword, Stormbringer, he set out to create a new kind of fantasy adventure, one that broke with tradition and reflected a more up-to-date sophistication of theme and style. The result was a bold and unique hero: a rock-and-roll antihero who would channel all the violent excesses of the '60s into one enduring archetype.

The metropolis of New Crobuzon sprawls at the center of the world. Humans and mutants and arcane races brood in the gloom beneath its chimneys, where the river is sluggish with unnatural effluent and foundries pound into the night. For a thousand years, the Parliament and its brutal militias have ruled over a vast economy of workers and artists, spies and soldiers, magicians, crooks, and junkies. Now a stranger has arrived, with a pocketful of gold and an impossible demand. And something unthinkable is released.

John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army. The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce—and alien races willing to fight us for them are common. So: we fight. To defend Earth, and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth, the war has been going on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding. Earth itself is a backwater.

The tales of The Silmarillion are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor. Included on the recording are several shorter works. The Ainulindalë is a myth of the Creation and in the Valaquenta the nature and powers of each of the gods is described. The Akallabêth recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom of Númenor at the end of the Second Age, and Of the Rings of Power tells of the great events at the end of the Third Age.

Resumen del Editor
The Lords of Creation rule the Nine Worlds through its control of the ultra-advanced technology that has permitted the colonization of the entire solar System. More gods than men, the Lords of Creation have cheated Death itself. But although they rule the solar system with their god-like scientific knowledge, there are even more powerful forces to be feared lurking out in the dark depths of space.
And when an unthinkably terrible enemy that rules a vast network of dead stars and planets comes to the Nine Worlds, it falls to them to stop it, though entire worlds may perish. But how can the Lords of Creation hope to stop the nightmarish undead monstrosities when they are bitterly divided by pride, jealousy, and mutual suspicion?
A tour de force of science fiction at its mind-blowing best, Superluminary: The Complete Trilogy consists of The Lords of Creation, book 1; The Space Vampires, book 2; and The World Armada, book 3.
This is the latest and most brilliant creation of science fiction grandmaster John C. Wright, the Dragon-award winning author of The Unwithering Realm, The Golden Age, Moth & Cobweb, and Awake in the Night Land.

Where does he get his fantastic stories?
Every time you read John C Wright, you are taken on a parabolic path. The story starts expansive and you cannot imagine anything greater, but then he proceeds to rocket to greater heights and invent new fantastic mechanisms at a greater and greater rate. He is a master and this story is part of his canon.

A beautiful story, if your mind can handle it
While it might sound absurd to say, this book is one of the rare science-fiction novels that requires a firm grasp of science to enjoy. Sharpen your astrophysics, your post, Newtonian physics, your theology, your philosophy, your math. The conclusion is epic, but it is an extensive process to get there, the journey across galaxies and back.

Another fantastic trilogy from Wright
If you are a fan of John C Wright, there are certain things you’ll come to expect. Super sciences. Battles of wit. Classical pulp tropes fused with philosophy, theology, and science. Small beginnings leading to epic endings. Superluminary delivers on all those, and infuses a decent helping of cosmic horror into the mix.
The narrator can chew the scenery sometimes, but overall, it’s a great listen.

My God!
I understood about .001% of what was going on, further relistens may bring this up, but it blew my mind. This audiobook is a space opera on the universal scale. I enjoyed it, although I will need to brush up on quantum physics to really get the most out of it.

Great SciFi
I have listened to this audible story three times now- the reader is excellent- handles the various character voices with ease - and the story- well- if you like Lord of the Rings, the Foundation trilogy- then you’re in for a treat. Different kind of fantasy/SciFi but similarly well thought out and written. Enjoy!

refreshing
I have been an SF fan my whole life. In the past years, I have grown so soul-suckingly weary of SF full of unnecessary, often graphic, sex. Usually including various forms of adultery.
I had despaired of finding any SF that wasn't similarly tainted, until I found this series. I will always be grateful to this author for putting out something with which I can pass on my love of SF to my Sons.
The conceit of space vampires sounds hokey...and I dont think the author minds one bit, I could feel him reveling in it, which made it fun. It can get tiring going from one catastrophic emergency to the next. Almost without cease the entire trilogy, it seemed. But this would not have been as noticeable if I didnt binge listen to the audiobook.

Top Tier Space Opera
I honestly haven't had the pleasure of such Epic Scale Space Opera since Dan Simmon's Hyperion Cantos. And like the former, profound ideas are distilled and interspersed throughout galactic-scale adventures. Unlike Hyperion, a smaller cast keeps the overall tale focused.

Decent Space Opera
This is a decently written and performed space opera built around an amalgomation of Olympian mythos and undead horror. There are some "Why the heck..." moments. But, the mystery and political aspects actually keep you guessing rather than flattering the listeners' ego.
