À propos de cet audio

A team of space archaeologists makes an astonishing discovery about an ancient alien race in this science fiction tale from "a master of his craft" (Los Angeles Times).

Graduate student Tom Rice is thrilled to embark on his first deep-space archeological expedition. He is part of a team from Earth, venturing out in search of artifacts from a civilization that ruled the universe many millennia ago. Called the High Ones, the members of this long-gone society left tantalizing clues about their history and culture scattered throughout space. One such clue, a "message cube" containing footage of the ancient ones, is more interesting than all of the others combined. It seems to indicate that the High Ones aren't extinct after all - and just like that, Tom Rice's archeological mission has become an intergalactic manhunt, one filled with ever-increasing danger that will send the explorers hurtling headlong into the greatest adventure - and peril - of their lives.

Its story is excellent, it’s just too bad the Author chooses to use made up baby words to give us the impression that this is how people speak in the future. Like seriously? I had a baby that Spoke like that. If you can deal with it, it’s a great story. Had to dock points though as it was getting on my nerves. YMMV

What stood out most? The bloop and lorp, including the has earsmak…..apparently they speak like that!

Found it a struggle to get engaged. This narrator is the human precursor of AI text-to-voice. The story itself is not great, a disappointment for Silverberg. But I'm sure a different performance would have made it more palatable.

Even on Plus this is a pass. Don't waste your time.

Narrator is a "reader" and it is boring
