Summary

Ten years after the aliens left Earth, humanity has succeeded in building a ship, Friendship, in which to follow them home to Kindred. Aboard are a crew of scientists, diplomats, and a squad of Rangers to protect them. But when the Friendship arrives, they find nothing they expected: no interplanetary culture, no industrial base, and no cure for the spore disease.

A timeslip in the apparently instantaneous travel between worlds has occurred, and far more than 10 years have passed.

Once again scientists find themselves in a race against time to save humanity and their kind from a deadly virus while a clock of a different sort runs down on a military solution no less deadly to all. Amid devastation and plague come stories of heroism and sacrifice and of genetic destiny and free choice, with its implicit promise of conscious change.

What a disappointment

I enjoyed Tomorrow’s kin - it wasn’t the best book, but it was ok. This sequel, however, was very disappointing. The writing was poor, the characters flat, a bit racist and a bit sexist. The plot was so unbelievable dull. No clue why the quality was so much worse. The author should’ve left it at book 1. The narration was still good though

Frustrating!

I am not actually sure why I saw this through.

As a species, we Humans, Terrans more specifically in the case of the book, are generally an unpleasant one and this book really goes to reinforce my feelings of us.

Instead of turning up on a planet that is known to be peaceful after being shot out of the stars by their own species, good old Terran’s then land and aggressively try to take control through weapons, refuse to follow the rules of the planet and then use the intimidation of weapons to control events around them.

I was going to listen to the third book but if it is anything like this then I’ll only spend 10 hours breathing out smoke from the nostrils and replanning my life to be lived in a bunker with no contact with the world around me, which quite frankly, seems to be falling apart in much the same theme of hatred, fear and anger. I think I’m in need of a Winnie the Pooh story now!
