Earthside

Quantum Earth, Book 2

De: Dennis E. Taylor

Narrado por: Ray Porter

The fate of mankind is in the hands of a group of 20-something science nerds in the sequel to Outland, by the Audible #1 best-selling author of the “Bobiverse” series.

The Yellowstone super-eruption has put an end to modern civilization. As cities and countries continue to fall, the colony of Rivendell in the alternate Earth known as Outland looks more and more like the only real hope for humanity. But life in Rivendell isn’t getting any simpler, either. Bill and Kevin continue to discover new worlds; the population continues to rise; winter is approaching; and everyone has their own opinion about how things should be run.

Then, a garbled plea for help from Omaha sends most of the security forces back Earthside to investigate, leaving Monica’s police force understaffed just as a large group of refugees arrive with its own ideas and power structure. With threats from both inside and outside, will the colony even survive until spring?

Good, but let down by angry politics

I get all the angry self righteous political lectures I can take from just turning on the TV, I don’t want more in my chosen entertainment, especially if they are presented in a cartoonish way. A 14 year old can give a better defense of liberty and capitalism and trade offs between economic systems. Authors channeling their personal political anger never works for their full audience and it is best to leave that stone unturned in my opinion.

I finished the book in two days and it was very entertaining. There were some plot holes but they were minor in the grand scheme. I look forward to the next book but hope it has less brain dead partisans all around.

Dennis E. Taylor for president!

Another fantastic story from Dennis! Ray Porter is the absolute best narrator for all of the series from Dennis, thank you guys for incredible listens.

Another amazing book

Dennis E. Taylor and Ray Porter deliver again. My favorite duo. Dennis E. Taylor I hope you continue to make these amazing books forever.

I've loved everything by Dennis E. Taylor, but...

Earthside missed the mark. It seems like the author thought of a bunch of ways people could be horrible and shoved them all in. It was the same subplot multiple times by different actors. Very unexpected given how great every other book by Dennis E. Taylor has been.

meh villains.

I'd have been happier with out the villains they had in the story. They were the standard mustache twirling villains of old. I'd have been happier with them scouting out Nazi Earth, or Dino World or something. May be the 3rd book will be better.
