Giới thiệu về sách nói này
A PRESCIENT GAZE INTO OUR INEVITABLE FUTURE IN SPACE
With over two hundred million kilometers of space behind them, Buzz:36 and Dr. Charlie Miller have settled in for the long haul. They are nearing the halfway point of their journey as they transport the final load of spans for the Earth Ring. Blissfully unaware that some of the nastiest thugs in the solar system are hot on their trail, Charlie continues to decipher the alien documents while Brice pilots the forty-kilometer-long space train.
In the four months since they left the asteroid belt’s Psyche Sector, Charlie’s research has uncovered a dark secret about the seemingly gentle alien that Brice found among the asteroids. It’s a secret that could decimate humanity.
With echoes of Firefly and the high-stakes drama of The Expanse, this pulse-pounding adventure explores what it truly means to be human in a universe full of danger and uncertainty.
“This is a compelling book of fresh ideas in the best traditions of speculative fiction.”
Brian McKernan - Former Editor at Omni Magazine
“This advanced human society among the asteroid belt comes across as vivid and realized from the moment we first find ourselves in it”
