Ciència ficció de crispetes, però ok

M'ha agradat més que el primer, potser perquè hi ha una mica més de varietat de punts de vista -cada capítol està explicat des d'un dels personatges-. El tros de la sèrie que adapta aquest llibre és un dels més trepidants de la televisió, i potser s'ajuda.

Això si, escrit per senyors heteros americans. Hi ha alguns diàlegs -interns, sobretot- que fan peneta, amb tots els personatges masculins comportant-se una mica com adolescents amb calenton.

Està bé de llegir? Si, té trossos d'intriga i d'acció que estan bé. No n'espereu més profunditat. Torno a recomanar la sèrie, que n'és una versió editada a millor i que estalvia mals de cap.

An excellent continuation

This continuation of the story of The Expanse universe maintains the pace set in the first volume, Leviathan Wakes. It also continues the writing technique of switching the viewpoint character with every chapter. This might sound confusing, but it works because the plot involves the interaction of different characters in different places on this wide canvas. Returning characters include Jim Holden and the crew of the Rocinante. And a wonderful new character, Chrisjen Avasarala, makes an appearance here. She is a very smart politician in the U.N. and she manages to play a crucial role in preventing an interplanetary war. Then there is the alien presence represented by the proto-molecule that was the focus of the first book. It is up to something, but just what? A little bit of that mystery is hinted at, but there is much more to come. Now at this point I should admit I …

A little bit of that mystery is hinted at, but there is much more to come. Now at this point I should admit I have not yet watched the TV series made from this. I prefer to read the source material first. But I have all of the DVDs ready for when I make it to the end of the books. This is a series of novels worth your time. There is not a lot of good SF these days that is set in the solar system, but this has the feeling of reality that makes you think it could actually work out like this.

Me estoy haciendo un lío con qué es lo que sale en la serie de televisión de The Expanse y qué es lo que sale en los libros pero me da igual. Quiero más de ambos.
