The Lords of Creation rule the Nine Worlds through its control of the ultra-advanced technology that has permitted the colonization of the entire solar System. More gods than men, the Lords of Creation have cheated Death itself. But although they rule the solar system with their god-like scientific knowledge, there are even more powerful forces to be feared lurking out in the dark depths of space.
And when an unthinkably terrible enemy that rules a vast network of dead stars and planets comes to the Nine Worlds, it falls to them to stop it, though entire worlds may perish. But how can the Lords of Creation hope to stop the nightmarish undead monstrosities when they are bitterly divided by pride, jealousy, and mutual suspicion?
A tour de force of science fiction at its mind-blowing best, Superluminary: The Complete Trilogy consists of The Lords of Creation, book 1; The Space Vampires, book 2; and The World Armada, book 3.
This is the latest and most brilliant creation of science fiction grandmaster John C. Wright, the Dragon-award winning author of The Unwithering Realm, The Golden Age, Moth & Cobweb, and Awake in the Night Land.
©2018 Castalia House (P)2019 Podium PublishingTo be clear, there is a painful heteronormativity in this author's works, as there exists no exploration or questioning of the stereotypical male/female rigid western images, but everything else is poked at, explored, played with. I also do not agree on a lot of aspects with the vision of humans that stems from this book, but I also highly enjoyed the tensions and ideas proposed.
I think this is the main strength of science-fiction: open up doors to explore ideas. We don't have to agree with all, but boy do I enjoy this author's wild, crazy thoughts.
A lot of fun, a lot of action. The further you go, the crazier it gets.
As for the audiobook, it is far from perfect, and I struggled to follow the story at times. It is also far from the worst I've listened to, but I found the intonations to be hard to follow for myself. I recommend you listen to an excerpt first if you're interested in this audiobook.
A great but flawed exploration of ideas
