Plutonian Sun

Old School Policing in the Far Future

De: R.H. Twitcher

Narrado por: Robert Henry

Set in the glittering technological future of the year 2526. Where sentient robots live and work alongside their human counterparts, and in a Solar System burgeoning with trade, commerce and activity, Plutonian Sun is an intriguing detective story exploring life and death on the furthest frontier of mankind’s expansion.

Pluto Police detective Erwin Flecknoe is weary, living in the domed Sagan City, the most distant outpost from Earth, his life has become mundane. Pondering whether he should return to his home five billion kilometers away and feeling restless and bored, when he and his robot partner Pye are tasked to investigate a young woman’s death on one of the space stations, he was not particularly enthusiastic. But as the investigation uncovers an obsolete explosive, the wreck of a terrorist’s ship and a surprising perpetrator, Flecknoe and Pye are embroiled in a race against time as they try to untangle this puzzle.

The narrator seems bored

I really want to like this! But honestly the narrator is not very good. He reads the whole book in a monotone. I get a bit lost between characters as there’s no distinction. Honestly the narrator feels bored.

Old School Indeed--but Quite Clever

It is hard to fairly review this book without giving away several of the key plot points. If you enjoy a mix of tough detective novels and pleasingly hard science fiction with good world-building...I strongly recommend this. I hope a sequel is on the way !!!!
