Dans un monde futuriste où l’humanité va connaître un important développement technologique, certains êtres humains pourront convertir leur corps en reproductions électroniques pour devenir des engrammes. Ils pourront facilement voyager dans l’espace pour trouver d’autres formes de vie. Parmi les engrammes, il y aura un groupe qui va entrer en contact avec une forme de vie extraterrestre qui va leur donner un accès à d’importantes technologies supérieures. Cependant, en acceptant ces technologies, ils vont rapidement comprendre les conséquences de leur action. Ils prendront aussi conscience de la complexité de la situation dans laquelle ils se sont retrouvés malgré eux. Certains humains n’ont plus de corps physique au 22e siècle. Pour contrer à cette situation, ils utilisent une nanotechnologie appelée les engrammes, qui sont des reproductions électroniques d’humains. Ils sont envoyés en exploration à travers l’Univers à la recherche d’autres vies ailleurs. Peter Alanger fait partie de l’équipage du vaisseau spatial envoyé. Celui-ci découvre des présents qui semblent prometteurs pour l’Humanité, mais qui pourraient s’avérer fatal. Vous découvrirez pourquoi dans le premier tome de la trilogie des Orphelins de la Terre, au sein d’une aventure aux multiples rebondissements, servant du coup les amateurs de space opera et de colonisation spatiale. I'm not usually into Sci-Fi but I really enjoyed this book. Definitely a scary look at what could conceivably become of Humanity if we consider on our present course. It was a little difficult to get my head around different characters with the same name (and essentially the same identity), but this book is well worth a read! keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

On an alien world a very long way from home, Peter Alander is going out of his mind. The Frank Tipler is just one of a thousand survey vessels sent out into the bubble of space surrounding Earth, seeking habitable worlds and signs of advanced life. Its crew has stumbled across artifacts left behind by a benevolent trader species, but the decision to study them is fraught with danger and uncertainty. The Tipler's crew consists of forty flawed electronic copies of human beings, some of them profoundly damaged--and Earth stopped responding to signals over a century ago. Caught between madness and political machinations, Alander stands on the brink of what might be the greatest discovery humanity has ever made--and a gift that humanity can't afford to accept. "ECHOES OF EARTH is a dazzling adventure, sweeping the reader along from marvel to wonder, and it includes one of the most heart-stopping moments I've encountered in a novel in years." --Jack McDevitt "[The] book can't be discussed or even described without spoiling some of the surprises, which are mutually reinforcing as well as juicy in themselves. I will, however, give in to the temptation to drop a few more of the names that came to mind as I was reading: the Three Gregs (Bear, Benford, Egan), Linda Nagata, and Frederik Pohl.... As the first of a series... ECHOES promises to rev its Ideas right past the red-line and drive them hard." --Locus "The science in Dix and Williams's work shines, entrancing with its glitter and innovation... and you won't find any of their novels without fully-fleshed out characters, complex plots, vivid settings and thoughtful exploration of issues." --SF Site "The authors have already made a name for themselves as writers of intelligent space opera, and ECHOES OF EARTH is sure to further bolster that reputation. The book is chock full of marvelous events, cosmic significance, mysterious alien motivations, and the wonder of outer space." --Science Fiction Chronicle Winner of the Ditmar Award.
