The Siege of Eternity (Eschaton Sequence, #2)The Siege of Eternity by Frederik Pohl
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This book continues the Eschaton series, yeah you going to see that in the header. There really isn't much to say in this second book. All we know that two civilization is at war and the earth is just one of many civilizations where it has been targeted for assimilation to the "Beloved Leaders" empire. the interesting part is thru out the series is the Eschaton. I decided to look it up.

At least 2 advanced races/species are fighting to see who will rule... eternity. Frederick Pohl apparently believed in the Big Crunch theory and expressed his concept in this series the advanced species have given religion to the subjected races or species the other side's beliefs are not so credible. Their religion is very similar to Human beliefs of an afterlife which are present in the majority of cultures on our planet. In the end, the winning species and their allies or subjected race will rule over the other.

Another aspect of the novel is about the lives of the clones/copies. they have diverged into having different personalities depending on the assignment they received, they still believe they are the original and everyone else is the copy.
Off to the third book and last book.

"Movie Review: Dune Part 1 & 2 🎬

  Spoiler Alert! Buckle up for a desert journey like no other! In the vast expanse of cinematic adaptations, Villeneuve's Dune emerges as a monumental undertaking, spanning two epic installments that delve into the rich tapestry of Frank Herbert's iconic sci-fi saga. While paying homage to the source material, these films chart their own course, offering a visually stunning and thematically resonant exploration of power, prophecy, and the human condition. Part 1: Betrayal and Escape The journey begins with Duke Leto Atreides, a nobleman entrusted with the stewardship of Arrakis, a desert planet coveted for its reserves of the spice melange—a substance essential for space travel and coveted by factions across the universe. Accompanied by his son, Paul, and Lady Jessica, a member of the secretive Bene Gesserit sisterhood, Duke Leto embarks on a perilous mission to Arrakis. However, their arrival triggers a chain of events orchestrated by the insidious House Harkonnen and the shad...

I had my Math test today...Epilepsy had other plans.

Today, I had my algebraic concept final test and I failed. Of course, my body sabotaged my efforts. This seems to be the norm with everything I do. That is when "everything I do" is extremely important and "the everything I do" maybe a life changer. Passing a math course is a life changer. So let me describe how it went today. Keep this note in mind I studied the entire weekend and the more I study things got more complicated As I wrote many times before, my neurologist and gastroenterologist have repeatedly told me that when my brain acts up my gut will too. When I take any other academic tests I usually don't get sick. I have taken all my meds and then I take life day by day. As I mentioned in previous posts on the internet maybe Facebook or G Plus, I have a few abnormalities in the brain. These abnormalities affect my behavior and my thought processes. It is not that bad but I perceive and understand things a little bit differently and that is why I may ...

Hi, my name is Tony I am a... Well you know. Actually Tony is short for Antonio. I thought if you were reading this you should know, not that anybody really cares. Anyhow, I am a ferocious reader of science-fiction. I like to read. For many years I could remember every single book that I've read. Unfortunately, I cannot do so anymore. However, if I read a science article sometimes I can associate it with a science fiction book that I have read and I like to talk about it. For example, here is the link to an article that I have recently read on the internet: http://www.theverge.com/2017/3/27/15077864/elon-musk-neuralink-brain-computer-interface-ai-cyborgs Recently I have posted a blog on a book that I read called "Psychohistorical Crisis." without getting into too many details one aspect of the book has to do with the characters. They carry a device called a familiar, or a "fam" for short. I can't recall if it was a mechanical or an organic device. Th...
