What if scientists almost destroyed the world… by bringing in magic?
I just finished reading Colliders a Sci-fi book written by Steve Foley. I read the AudioBook published by BooksGoSocial Audio. NetGalley gave me a copy of this book. I listened to this book on NetGalley. It is Book One of a series.
This book is a must read if you like: apocalypse, end of the world, and multiple points of view.
Scientists have pulled the world to the brink of a “”New Era””, which threatens to end everything we know. Follow a team of people as they navigate what could be the end of the world.
This is very stereotypical scifi. There are elements of fantasy, but the overall feel is a first contact or end of humanity scifi.
Overall I thought the book was well structured and well written. The perspective that it is written from (very tell, not show) is not my preference and that made it hard for me to get into. But that is the same reason I DNF Dune, so if that is what you like, it is probably a good thing.
I really liked the combination of scifi and fantasy. I felt it could have gone more into the fantasy, but that is my preferred genre.
I really loved the scenes of a particular scientist reaching out to the unknown instead of just destroying it. That is all I’m going to say.
I would have loved more descriptions of the villians point of view.
The narrator was great, but the editing made it difficult to tell where the chapters and points of view changed.
Overall, it wasn’t my cup of tea, but it was well done and I think I need to know what happens in book 2.
