About this listen

 A petty thief known as John Smith was arrested for fraudulent behaviour in 1877. He tricked women into thinking he was rich, then stole their belongings and vanished. His guilt was obvious.

In 1852, Adler and Adolf Beck's father died on an expedition to a glacier, and their lives separated. One became a respected climate scientist, one a successful opera singer touring the world. Or so he claimed. But both remained in touch, if only to share the mysterious voices only they could hear.

Charles Ramsey also has a twin. It is 2050, and Greg is a journalist reporting on the climate-change inspired conflicts around the world. When Charles is made redundant from his job as a profiler for the police and sent home with a new experimental chip in his head, he is urged by his brother to explore a little-known aspect of their family history.

All of these people are connected. All of their lives will intersect. And the climate of their world will keep on changing. Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Science Fiction

Performance seems a fraction rushed. Story is fascinating but for me doesn’t quite stick the landing.

Tantalising

Very Christopher Priest - parallel lives and out of body technology. CliFi with a sort of happy ending.

Much better than the verdict of newspaper reviews.

I enjoyed it. But the narrators performance took some of the nuance of the book away I feel. I would read it for a better experience.

Pretty good sci fi.

I tried really hard to keep going with this book because he’s supposed to be such a great writer, but I was so bored I just gave up
