Moving Mars

De: Greg Bear

Narrado por: Sharon Williams

Greg Bear is "a writer who is rapidly redefining the shape of the modern hard science-fiction novel" (Keith Ferrell, Omni magazine), and in Moving Mars he explores one very plausible scenario for the future of Earth's neighboring planet.

Mars is a colonial world governed by corporate interests on Earth. The citizens of Mars are hardworking, brave, and intelligent, but held back by their lack of access to the best education, and the desire of Earthly powers to keep the best inventions for themselves.

The young Martians - the second and third generation born on Mars - have little loyalty to Earth and a strong belief that their planet can be independent. The revolution begins slowly, but matures to its inevitable conclusion.

Reseñas de la Crítica

• Hugo Award Winner, Best Novel, 1996

"It all adds up to a blowout of a book, perhaps the best of the recent Mars novels, and certainly one of the best sf novels of the year." (Publishers Weekly)
"Moving Mars is an accomplished, thoroughly mature novel that should be placed at the top of anyone's `to be read' stack." (Science Fiction Age)
"Stunning and remarkable invention and extrapolation." (Kirkus Reviews)

Despite...

...the poor sound quality I have to recommend Moving Mars. I'd read the book 2 - 3 times before so I was looking forward to the audio version. The reader sounded pretty muffled, but once you get past that it's an enjoyable listen.

Bad accents

Could have done without the gross fake Asian accent. Ruined the audio book. Totally unnecessary.

Great story, terrible audio

Biggest problem i have with the audio is that I was muffled. There is no other way to put it. It took me a long time to get used to it. Limited by the tech in the 90's maybe? I have other older audiobooks that doesn't sound as bad from even earlier.

Narration was monotone. the accents were actually kind of offensive. I am Chinese and when I heard the stereotypical "Chinese accent" i cringed. Although it was only one instance that I remembered, it's enough to leave an unpleasant impression.

Amazing book scuttled by terrible audio recording

This book is one of my all time favorites. Such a shame that the audio quality was so terrible. Everything sounded muffled and incredibly difficult to make out even at high volumes. Especially the effects added onto the character's voices during spacewalks made it so hard to understand.

That being said, it's one of my favorite stories from my favorite writer of science fiction, Greg Bear. Just read the book on the Kindle and skip this audio recording! Unless Audible can replace it with a version that has higher fidelity.

Good book, terrible audible

Good book, prolific but insightful and when you think about it. The audio, however, is quite muffled and frustrating to listen to.
