Salvation Lost

Salvation Sequence Series, Book 2

De: Peter F. Hamilton

Narrado por: John Lee

All the best in humanity rises to meet a powerful alien threat in the sequel to Salvation - part of an all-new trilogy from "the owner of the most powerful imagination in science fiction" (Ken Follett).

The comparative utopia of 23rd-century Earth is about to go dreadfully awry when a seemingly benign alien race is abruptly revealed to be one of the worst threats humanity has ever faced. Driven by an intense religious extremism, the Olyix are determined to bring everyone to their version of god as they see it. But they may have met their match in humanity, who are not about to go gently into that good night or spend the rest of their days cowering in hiding. As human ingenuity and determination rises to the challenge, collective humanity has only one goal - to wipe this apparently undefeatable enemy from the face of creation. Even if it means playing a ridiculously long game indeed.

But in a chaotic universe, it is hard to plan for every eventuality, and it is always darkest before the dawn.

very well done. good character building throughout

very well done. good character building throughout. as always, well done Mr. Hamilton for your writing.

"CLICKING Sound" in recording

Clicking in the recording of this series, both books now have it is really distracting, have never heard it before and it is becoming very annoying. Perhaps it is the editing sound as they go over the recording of John lee. His cadence is always a distraction but seems worse in these books, I will read the books from now on of Hamilton, John Lee is too difficult to understand. I like Hamilton but Lee...

Space opera feast

Gets a little confusing at times but if you like your space opera straight up, with lots of shit blowing up, this is for you.

Nice continuation

Definitely better than the first book in the series, I felt the flow carried the narrative along at a nice pace. Dare I say, the best Hamilton book I've read to date but I'm still catching up as well.

Just too complicated for casual listening

Listened to this book hoping it would be better than book 1, it was, but not sure I will take the time to listen to book 3. My listening style is to engage while doing menial tasks- this book was amped up to speed 1.5x to power through. The lurid SciFi sex scenes added nothing (I'm not a prude) and the plot was slow, scenes changes hard to follow.
