Gehört zur ReiheThe Noise (book 2) Auszeichnungen
Two men begin to suspect that mankind's much-heralded First Contact with aliens is anything but. Now all they have to do is prove it. A time of flux, a time of change... While mankind is adjusting to its first ever encounter with an alien civilisation - the Byrzaens - black ops specialist Jim Leyton reluctantly allies himself with the mysterious habitat in order to rescue the woman he loves. This brings him into direct conflict with his former employers: the United League of Allied Worlds government. Scientist and businessman Philip Kaufman is fast discovering there is more to the virtual world than he ever realised. Yet it soon becomes clear that all is not well within the realm of Virtuality. Truth is hidden beneath lies and there are games being played, deadly games with far reaching consequences. Both men begin to suspect that the much heralded 'First Contact' is anything but first contact, and that a sinister con is being perpetrated with the whole of humankind as the victim. Now all they have to do is prove it. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Mostly a good read - I like the chief characters, but sometimes the prose got beyond indulgent. The meal, in the last 15% of the book - what was that all about? Sudden lurid description and irrelevance. Occasionally lines made me cringe at how cliched or self-satisfied they sounded - 'He moved with the easy grace of a dancer'. Please! This one made me laugh out loud.
But overall a good story, interesting ideas, and paced pretty well. Not solid, but certainly fun, and I cared what happened, which is, after all, what any story should be all about. ( )
