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 ...

Carey's "Echo of Worlds" serves as a powerful and satisfying conclusion to his "Pandominion" duology, following the intriguing setup of "Infinity Gate."

📝 Review Summary: Children of Memory

Children of Memory by Adrian Tchaikovsky My rating: 4 of 5 stars Children of Memory (Children of Time Series #3) is an essential, challenging, and mind-bending addition that shifts the series' focus from galactic evolution to a profound crisis of identity and reality. Note: This cannot be read as a standalone novel and contains major spoilers. Core Plot & Major Twist The novel revolves around a struggling human colony on the world of Imir. The central puzzle is the repeated ship crashes. The Engine: The crashes are revealed to be "intentional" because an ancient, alien Simulation Engine beneath Imir copies the consciousness of approaching life and inserts the duplicates into a simulated, rapidly aging environment. The Reveal: The original human colonists and the Skipper crew's landing party (including the Interlocutor, Miranda) were all physically destroyed. The "people" living on Imir—including the simulated Miranda and the copies of Portiid (Fabian)...
