About this listen

The second book of Terra Ignota, a political SF epic of extraordinary audacity

In a future of near-instantaneous global travel, of abundant provision for the needs of all, a future in which no one living can remember an actual war, a long era of stability threatens to come to an abrupt end.

For known only to a few, the leaders of the great Hives, nations without fixed location, have long conspired to keep the world stable, at the cost of just a little blood. A few secret murders, mathematically planned. So that no faction can ever dominate, and the balance holds. And yet the balance is beginning to give way.

Mycroft Canner, convict, sentenced to wander the globe in service to all, knows more about this conspiracy the than he can ever admit. Carlyle Foster, counselor, sensayer, has secrets as well, and they burden Carlyle beyond description. And both Mycroft and Carlyle are privy to the greatest secret of all: Bridger, the child who can bring inanimate objects to life.

Shot through with astonishing invention, Seven Surrenders is the next movement in one of the great SF epics of our time.

I wish that they used the previous narrator for the rest of the series

awesome book, but I didn't like the performance

Excellent novel. I just finished and am weeping real tears. Wonderful characters, exciting plot, possibly the best worl building I have ever seen.

not a fan if the performance though. The decision to give Bridger a lisp really bothered me. A lot of the accents weren't so great.

great book, mediocre performance

I love Ada Palmer’s Terra Ignota and this second book didn’t disappoint! Makes you think about everything and made me want to read Voltaire, Rousseau and Sade.

A fiction that makes you think and surprises you

At times this is hard going. I think I will need to re listen to both books to fully appreciate everything. The fact I am willing to do this is testament to how mind bending these novels are.

Fascinating but convoluted

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Cleverly written and lovely narration but I found it very boring. I made it to midway of book two but it wasn't for me unfortunately. Just my opinion obviously.

Not really sci fi imo
