The Ecolitan Enigma

Ecolitan Matter, Book 4

De: L. E. Modesitt Jr.

Narrado por: Kirby Heyborne

L. E. Modesitt, Jr.'s science-fiction novels have been pleasing audiences for nearly two decades. Among his earlier novels were three books set in the future universe of the Ecolitan Institute. Now Modesitt returns to that world to tell another story of cultural conflict and interstellar diplomacy. The Ecolitan Enigma is sure to thrill his old fans and win new ones.

Nathaniel Firstborn Whaler is an Ecolitan, both a professor at the Institute and a field agent with extraordinary powers. Sent to a backwater colony planet nominally to determine its economic viability, Whaler evades an assassin's bullets only steps from the spaceport. He soon uncovers evidence that the planet will become the flashpoint for interstellar conflict between two empires, with each prepared to blame the Ecolitan Institute should war break out. Whaler must do everything in his power to stop what might become the worst disaster in human history.

And Nathaniel Whaler just may have more power than any man in the galaxy.

Sigh

I forgot how often LEM panders to his female audience and turns his male protagonists into little beta simps. Often on the turn of a dime- really takes a left turn out of nowhere. Not complaining about the female characters. They act true to nature. Pity.

ok

enjoyed previous books. story was decent. Narrator and character dialogs were lacking. Considering the action, I still couldn't get into the story.
