Histoire5 out of 5 stars 5
Earth in 2064 is politically corrupt and in economic decline. The Long Depression has dragged on for 56 years, and the Bureau of Sustainable Research is hard at work making sure no new technologies disrupt the planned economy. Ten years ago, a band of malcontents, dreamers, and libertarian radicals bolted privately developed antigravity drives onto rusty seagoing cargo ships, loaded them to the gills with 20th-century tunnel-boring machines and earthmoving equipment, and set sail - for the moon.

A Great Series
Évalué le: 2019-03-24
Travis Corcoran has to be the lovechild of Robert Heinlein and Ayn Rand. The universe he builds for his books is one of a runaway bureaucracy on earth and a Galt’s Gulch hidden on the moon.
It documents the libertarianism that has made America great and warns against the misplaced trust in government to “fix” things. At the same time it celebrates freedom and ingenuity and gives hope for better outcomes by encouraging free thinking and self determination. Oh: and the best part is that it has uplifted dogs.
Unfortunately the two books (The Powers of the Earth and Causes of Separation) were not enough to satisfy my cravings for more of his excellent storytelling and I am anxiously awaiting the third and fourth instalments.
I would highly recommend this series.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 3
The classic police procedural meets cutting-edge science in this huge international best seller. Already a runaway bestseller in France, Syndrome E tells the story of beleaguered Detective Lucie Henebelle, whose old friend has developed a case of spontaneous blindness after watching an extremely rare - and violent - film from the 1950s. Embedded in the film are subliminal images so unspeakably heinous that Lucie realizes she must get to the bottom of it - especially when nearly everyone who comes into contact with the film starts turning up dead.

A Most Excellent Mystery
Évalué le: 2018-09-14
This is a story that will grab you instantly and won't let go. The plot is well researched and plausible and the story stands up to being listened to over and over.
Franck Thilliez weaves a tale of intrigue accentuated by the backstories of the two main characters and bleeds it over into the second book with a smooth grace that is lacking in many series. Both novels are excellent and well worth a listen.
