Özet

In 2034, the stars went out. An unknown agency surrounded the solar system with an impenetrable barrier, concealing the universe from humanity’s gaze.

In 2067, Nick Stavrianos is hired to investigate the disappearance of a mentally disabled woman, Laura Andrews, from the institution where she was being cared for. Aided by a skull full of neural modifications, he follows her trail to the Republic of New Hong Kong, where an organization known as the Ensemble has uncovered Laura’s extraordinary secret: An ability that could transform the world.

Editör yorumları

Adam Epstein brings a conversational, offhand delivery to a neurologically-enhanced gumshoe named Nick Stavrianos in Quarantine.

Greg Egan’s science-fiction novel is set in the year 2067 in a world where the solar system has been enclosed by an unbreakable barrier put in place by an unknown extraterrestrial force. Andrews is hired to find a brain-damaged woman named Laura Andrews, who has disappeared from her institution. Following her to Hong Kong, Stavriano’s case leads him closer to the mysterious force that’s "quarantined" the solar system.

Epstein performs Stavriano’s narration in a world-weary tone, his voice modulating in his nuanced renditions of the story’s many characters.

I love Greg Egan's books, but the narrator's repetitive intonation in every phrase is distracting and makes the book a slog to get through.

Decent story let down by bad narrator

I have the physical book and the audio book. Sometimes it's more convenient to listen to the audio book but the narrator is so dull and monotone it's a real struggle. If it wasn't for the engaging and well written story I'd have given up.

Great story, poor narration

A fascinating book and solid performance. There're complaints about the narrator in some reviews but I thought he did a solid job; his pacing and tone were perfect for the protagonist. Some of the female and Catonese character voices were a bit odd imo but always clear, full of appropriate emotion and distinguishable.

The story is more tell than show than I would normally be happy with but with a topic like this I don't see any other way. The concepts in play here well presented and explored, if I was being really picky I would have liked a little more tension in there but this is a fantastic book and the author deserves all the praise he gets and probably a great deal more on top.

Highly recommended.

The story is classic Egan: extremely original, hard sci-fi intertwined with thought-provoking philosophical passages, all wrapped up in an entertaining thriller. Yet the listen was not a great experience. The reader insisted in punching every end of a sentence, and often even more frequently than that. Unnatural and exhausting. His ability to convey different characters was good, though.

Great Egan, tiring listen
