Robinson manages to write a fiction that is somehow more radicalizing in its implications than the excellent works of non-fiction detailing the climate crisis, partly because he tries to imagine not the apocalypse scenarios, but instead the prevailing ones.Imaginative in a way that feels real, ambitious, and somehow dreamlike all at once, Ministry for the..
Review from Space Pirate Charlie →
Moved along really well and didn’t waste a ton of time with exposition or belittling the listener with jargon. Was a fun story and all the heroes got to showcase their development a bit more.

Review from The Last Voyage →
Although I very much enjoyed the first 80% of the book, the last 20% was an anti-climatic debate on abortion. IF it ended at the 80% mark, I could see the series continuing on. However, this feels like the story is completely wrapped up with a Blue Bow on top. Again, I still enjoyed it!
