A Message in the Universe (The Entropy Series Book 1)

De: Chris Harris

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Centuries have passed since the universe began rapidly contracting—the Great Collapse. Now, all that remains of the cosmos lives on Samsara: a large, vibrant planet surrounded by a mysterious forcefield that protects it from the Great Collapse.

But who built this forcefield? And why did they choose this planet?

Magnus, a young physics student on Samsara, can’t seem to stop asking these questions. But when his university is invaded by a neighboring military and one of the engineers that designed the forcefield comes to his aid, the answers begin to flow.

As Magnus is thrown into the chaos of war, he slowly comes to discover the universe's darkest secret: there was a message written into the very fabric of the universe—written into the laws of physics themselves.

When Magnus learns who wrote the message and what it says, it slowly dawns on him why his world is plagued with so much war, why the mysterious engineers built the forcefield, and of all the planets out there—why they chose Samsara.

Sci-fi

didn’t like switch in timeline. Poor character introductions. Good story. More background where the characters were

No space opera. AI not the best reader.

This book is just flat. The writing is flat. The story is flat. The AI reader isn’t bad, but seems to miss the proper inflections. Little feeling. Kind of watching a movie on a mono TV instead of full surround THX.

The story premise is weird, not novel. The characters are okay, but the author has to tell you about them instead of developing them through action and dialogue. I only got a couple hours in and had to stop. Maybe I’ll pick it up again someday in the background, but I’ve got too many better books to get too.

Great writing

A griping story with good writing and even better depicting. The author really brings you into the world. This would be a great movie one day!
