Hollow World

De: Michael J. Sullivan

Narrado por: Jonathan Davis

The future is coming...for some more than others.

Ellis Rogers is an ordinary man who is about to embark on an extraordinary journey. All his life he has played it safe and done the right thing. But when he is faced with a terminal illness, Ellis is willing to take an insane gamble. He's built a time machine in his garage, and if it works, he'll face a world that challenges his understanding of what it means to be human, what it takes to love, and the cost of paradise. Ellis could find more than a cure for his disease; he might find what everyone has been searching for since time has begun - but only if he can survive the Hollow World.

Hollow World

Michael J. Sullivan has opened another world for those of us who are lucky enough to follow him. Grand adventure, great stories. Thank you, Mr. Sullivan!

it was a fun, good story I enjoyed it.

A different perspective on an old story. Some parts of the story were predictable otherwise I enjoyed it. The narration was good as well.

Classical SciFi in Tradition of Hainish Cycle

Hollow World is telling a modern story about masculinity, contemporary culture, and identity in the tradition of the Ambiguous Utopian visions of Left Hand of Darkness or The Dispossessed. It has a feeling of Ursula K LeGuin and H.G. Wells, while at the same time being a more modern reimagination of the premise of coming to terms with "utopia." I read this book for the first time a couple of years ago, and relistening to it, following recent political events within the United States makes me think about the exciting way our lives are continually reflected back at us when we look into the future and see our hopes and fears blend into one.

Excellent

Intelligent, brave, and best of all fun! Not your typical Michael J Sullivan, but my favorite. An imperfect protagonist that you can relate to all too well. It never tries too hard, which is a rarity in a book like this. A week after I finished, this book is still dancing around in my head, making me think.
The audio performance was top notch as well.
I would recommend this read to anyone.

Futuristic book done right

These types are books are vey hard to write(far future books) but but Michael J Sullivan nailed it on the head. It takes special kind of creative mind to conceptualize and execute such a great book. He has become and I believe always will be one of my favorite scifi/fantasy authors.
