Mutineers' Moon

Mutineers' Moon (Dahak, #1)Mutineers' Moon by David Weber
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Mutineer Moon by David Weber.

David Weber is a good sci-fi author with many award winning novels under his belt. One series that is enjoyable is his ‘Safehold Series’ and his ‘Honor Harrington’ series. ‘Mutineer Moon’ is from his “Ashes from the Empire”.

This novel would be of particular interest. There are many stories about “what inside the moon”. There are also many stories about 2 different species of humans living on earth. One species is the parents and the ancestors of a second one. The ancestor species are called Imperials and the secondary are called Terrans. I wonder if Weber reads The Bible, or is he familiar with the Epic of Gilgamesh or just watches “Ancient Aliens and get his ideas from there.

I do know that David Weber keeps his stories consistent. In his books there are lost civilizations and empires, then there is the alien civilization that is stagnant but powerful and always ready to wipe and other civilization out, giving credence to the ‘Dark Forrest’ theory. In all I enjoy David Weber writing and Reading his second Novel in the “Ashes from the Empire series”

The Long Mars

The Long Mars by Terry Pratchett My rating: 3 of 5 stars "The Long Mars," the third installment in the Long Earth series, continues to expand the already vast canvas of Pratchett and Baxter's creation. While the concept of "Joker Mars" – echoing the familiar "Joker Earths" – is intriguing, it's just one of three distinct narrative threads woven throughout this book. We follow Sally Linsay on a journey across the Martian Stepped worlds, unraveling the mysteries her father, Willis, seeks. This exploration of the alien landscapes of the Long Mars is certainly compelling, but personally, it was the storyline involving "The Next" that truly captivated me. Joshua Valiente's arc, which delves into the emergence of these post-human children, is where the book really shines. It's a powerful exploration of prejudice, fear, and the potential societal clashes that arise when faced with the "other." The authors masterfully tackle ...

The Long Utopia

The Long Utopia by Terry Pratchett My rating: 3 of 5 stars In The Long Utopia, a novel in the Long Earth series, the artificial intelligences Agnes and Lobsang embark on a unique endeavor: adopting a human child, Ben, and attempting to build a normal pioneering life on one of the seemingly infinite parallel Earths. However, their peaceful existence takes a dramatic turn with the human pioneers discovering a peculiar species dubbed 'silver beetles'. These insects exhibit an unusual behavior of 'stepping down' to lower-numbered Earths. As the pioneers observe them, a terrifying realization dawns: the silver beetles are not merely migrating; they are systematically transforming their chosen parallel Earth into a colossal Dyson Motor, a structure designed to harness the star's energy. Lobsang, with his advanced analytical capabilities, understands the catastrophic implications. These silver beetles can step sideways to other parallel Earths, potentially converting an...

The Long Cosmos

The Long Cosmos by Terry Pratchett My rating: 2 of 5 stars Having just finished "The Long Cosmos," the final installment in the "Long Earth" series—a collaboration Stephen Baxter completed after Terry Pratchett's passing—I found myself a bit disappointed by the number of loose ends left unresolved. I think a core challenge in classifying this series as traditional science fiction lies in its fundamental premise, which sidesteps the real-world physics limitations of interstellar travel. Knowing the near impossibility of venturing beyond our solar system due to light-speed limits, the authors cleverly engineered the parallel Earth concept as their vehicle for cosmic exploration. Instead of launching spaceships, the characters simply "step" into new worlds. This ingenious workaround allows for adventure without grappling with conventional astrophysical constraints. While "The Long Cosmos" does bring humanity's journey across the infinite ...
