Isaac Asimov - Second Foundation

cover

OpenLibrary

Released in 1953, this is the last book of the original Foundation trilogy. It is OK, but it is also very similar in style with the previous two books. I’m not planning on reading the rest of the Foundation books.

Isaac Asimov - Foundation

OpenLibrary

First released in 1951, the Foundation novel describes a story of declining galactic empire and one man’s personal mission to soften the fall.

James S.A. Corey - Babylon's Ashes

cover

OpenLibrary

Another twenty hours of listening to the audiobook, another story of our solar system changed by the proto-molecule. This time we follow a story of recovery from a planet-wide terrorist attack that happened in Nemesis Games.

The previous books I read from this series are

  1. James S.A. Corey - Leviathan Wakes
  2. James S.A. Corey - Caliban’s War
  3. James S.A. Corey - Abaddon’s Gate
  4. James S.A. Corey - Cibola Burn
  5. James S.A. Corey - Nemesis Games

James S.A. Corey - Cibola Burn

cover

OpenLibrary

Cibola Burn is the fourth book of The Expanse series. I can’t believe I’ve already listened to this series for eighty hours. It’s still good fun. I’ve grown to like the crew of Rocinante similarly as I like the watch from Pratchett’s Discworld.

This book describes exploration of an Earth-like world in a different solar system in our galaxy.

The previous books I read from this series are

James S.A. Corey - Abaddon's Gate

cover

OpenLibrary

Abaddon’s Gate is the third book of the Expanse series. A mysterious portal to another part of the universe has been opened in our solar system. Listen to this twenty-hour book to find out what’s on the other side.

At the risk of repeating myself, I really enjoyed listening to this story for twenty hours. The book’s authors again use the literary style of narrating the story from the viewpoint of multiple people. This time it’s well-funded terrorist, head of security on a ship, pastor, and our loved captain of Rocinante: Holden.
