Om den här titeln

In the 1980s, an alien starship visited Earth. While investigating what appeared to be a sarcophagus bearing the preserved body of its builder, astronaut Keith Stoner was trapped and cryogenically frozen. After his body was eventually returned to Earth and revived, Stoner discovered that he had acquired alien powers. Putting them to use, he built a new starship and left Earth.

Now, after more than a century of exploring the stars, Keith Stoner returns to find that the world he has come back to does not match the one he left. The planet is suffering the consequences of disastrous greenhouse flooding. Most nations have been taken over by ultraconservative religion-based governments, such as the New Morality in the United States. With population ballooning and resources running out, Earth is heading for nuclear war. Stoner, the star voyager, wants to save Earth’s people, but first he must save himself from the frightened and ambitious zealots who want to destroy this stranger—and the terrifying message he brings from the stars.

Kritikerröster

“This fourth volume in the Voyagers series displays Hugo Award winner Bova’s consummate ability to tell an absorbing tale about two men, each with a mission to free his world from blind dogma and orchestrated tyranny. The author’s outspoken philosophy provides food for thought for his many fans and readers who enjoy hard SF.”

(Library Journal)

“Bova doesn’t oversimplify the ethical conflicts, and that keeps tension high.”

Ett fel uppstod. Försök igen om några minuter.

Der Sprecher Stefan Rudnicki liest das Buch in gewohnter qualität, wie auch schon allen anderen Bova Audiobüchern. Die Story selbst, obwohl sie einen interessanten Ansatz bietet, kommt über die gesamte Spanne des Buches nicht in Schwung und ausser dem Protagonisten, Stoner, alle weiteren Rollen sehr monoton und klischeehaft.

Vorhersehbar und teilweise belanglos :(
