À propos de ce contenu audio

 "Such realistic brilliance you can see a whole civilisation in it" - The Times


Stephen Baxter's highly acclaimed first novel and the beginning of his stunning Xeelee Sequence.

A spaceship from Earth accidentally survives the transition to a radically different universe. Five-hundred-years later, their descendants still struggle for existence. The Miners live on the Belt, a ramshackle ring of dwellings orbiting the core of a dead star. They trade for food from the Raft, a structure built from the wreckage of the ship, and where a small group of scientists preserve the ancient knowledge which makes survival possible.

Rees is a Miner whose curiosity about his world makes him a stowaway on a flying tree. And what he finds will change his world...©2020 Stephen Baxter (P)2020 Orion Publishing Group Aventure Premier contact Science-fiction Space-opera

    This is my first book from Baxter and I'd heard great things about the Xeelee Sequence. Although I expected some futuristic sci-fi à la Warhammer 40k, I wasn't really disappointed on that front. It's an ok story, I find the concepts it explores fascinating, like the gravitational chemistry and life inside of a nebula. However, the characters and their "arcs" (if it can even be called that) are very weak. They're all 1 dimensional clichés, and while I'm not the kind of guy that will break down if a character doesn't have life-changing development in under 8h, it would've been nice to at least see some change in how they interacted with eachother throughout multiple years. The characters here really take a backseat to the universe.
    The ending of the book really drags on and imo it should've ended 1-2h before. There are some sociological messages and themes but it's nothing incredible or new.
    In brief it's a weak story with confusing (and confused imo) sociological conversations in a backdrop of well-researched physics.
    The narrator does a good job and I'm happy they got Keeble to redo the audio as the last one wasn't frankly that good. There was one time where he repeated the same phrase twice, which still baffles me, does no-one listen to these things before posting them and making us pay for it?

    60/100

    ++Beginning Spoilers++
    There are interesting subjects that could, and in fact should, have been discussed. The whole revolution of the Committee, the exile of the upper class and the eventual conclusion of the upper classes abandoning the lower ones in a dying nebula, from the point of view of someone apart of said upper classes would've been interesting to dig into, but instead they're pretty useless and only serve as a way to get Rees to move from point A to point B. And for someone "so emotional" he really doesn't seem to care too much about abandoning thousands of people to their doom while also profiting from their labour.
    This book seems to have very confusing social messages, if not outright contradictory ones, with only slight mentions of Rees' upcoming as a "subhuman" only being mentioned at the beginning as a problem and being completely ignored afterwards.

    Interesting although pretty weak and confusing
