Destiny's Way

Doomed Earth, Book 2

De: Jack Campbell

Narrado por: Tim Fannon, Andrea Emmes

Lieutenant Selene Genji is hurled into the past to try and save a world that doesn’t want her in this action-packed adventure from New York Times bestselling author Jack Campbell.

Earth was destroyed on June 12, 2180. Lieutenant Selene Genji watched it happen. And only she can prevent it.

Thrown forty years into the past, into a time before the Universal War began, Genji can only guess what to do to change the events that led to the death of all humanity. She has no way of knowing the long-term impacts of her actions and can only depend on her instincts.

But many of the people Genji’s trying to save want her dead. Her creation was an experiment: a fusing of human and alien DNA. To them, she’s a monster who can’t be trusted, a tool of the aliens who have just made first contact.

Fortunately, she has an unshakable ally in Lieutenant Kayl Owen, who has risked everything to help her mission. Declared a traitor to humanity by Earth Guard, Owen is determined to help Genji save the Earth.

Even if he dies trying.

One-dimensional villains

The villains/bad guys of the series are really one-dimensional. Motivated only by their fear of 'other'. With other characters, including the main ones, sounding a lot like broken records, regularly repeating themselves in ways that grow annoying and being highly resistant in accepting they might be wrong about some things.

Annoying traits like these plague other Jack Campbell books like the Pillars of Reality and make enjoying them much harder.

Interesting plot

Lack of character development and didn't flow together at times. Corny language, trying to hard to be indepth.

A book for very young adults

Dialogue and performance seemed geared for adolescents and young adults. Story was good but too much dialogue.

Realism

The author always creates detailed stories, possible futures, it is always fun to read, and it keeps you invested in the characters.

Excellent Read

A very good followup to an excellent Book one. A little too much time spent on the "relationship", but everytime they returned to the save the world mission it again became a very engaging, enthralling read. I enjoyed the book very much!
