Cool story - great ending

(5 Sterne)

Two outcast scientists discover a source of power that allows them to do lots of different things. However, the head of the current power monopoly learns of this and, of course, can not allow that discovery to get into anyone's hands. Thus begins a fight between the two groups of people: the man who owns it all and sees himself as a benevolent dictator, and the men who see energy as a right for everyone so that they can determine for themselves how to live. This story is a great bit of sci-fi wrapped up with a moral message. It does call to mind the oil issues currently faced on our little world. The reader did an excellent job. The recordings are likewise excellent. Thanks!

a very good listen.

Excellent reader with some very good,and not overdone voice acting. Nice to hear those tones of Lancashire. Story has some far seeing concepts and holds the attention of the listener. will now go and refill my pipe.

A solid space adventure with scientists both good and bad in the eternal battle to prevail through technological superiority in order to save mankind. But, it's Kevin Green's sublime narration that elevates this book. Second book I've listened to read by him. I am now only looking for book narrated by him. Wonderful work Kevin.

Great read. Very good story , plot line , and intellectually fosters a what can be , or may be, in spite of the misguided characters that exist in the story or could just as easily be found within our society if today. Thanks!

Wonderful story. Excellent naration. I definitely recommend a listen. Would make a great movie/ mini series. The latter would be better so as to tell the entire story in full.

Holy Techno-babble Batman!

loved it. the amount of effort that went into attempting to explain the science is commendable. the characters are well enough developed, but no significant female characters.

gOod story

The lack of female leads makes it better. As a male feminist, i realize anytime a male author includes female protagonist, those females will be oppressed and objectified. I therefore applaud the exclusion of females from SF. We need to protect females by excluding them. Hooray for feminism
