Svizna knizecka. Naka akcicka. Na pozadi nenasytna korporace. Vse v kulisach celosvetove nevylecitelny choroby. Programovaci jazyk "Chomsky" pro interakci s mozkem lidi jako tresnicka na dortu. V poho lepsi oddychovka, klasickej Scalzi.

PS - Kdo vymyslel slovo "třipík" at si liskne ... aspon dvakrat ;-P

An enaging Sci-Fi Police Procedural

4 stars

This is the only Scalziverse I have not dipped a toe into so I felt it was time to wrap that up. This was an engaging police procedural with a sci-fi premise. It had all the Scalzi quirks and a was a fast enjoyable read. I am not maybe going to rave about it as much as I have other Scalzi works because I felt the premise was a little divorced from the plot but this was still a fine read. Recommend.

I really liked this... mostly because I found the concept unique, or at least unique to me.

I found Scalzi through The Dispacher, which was an Audible freebee at some point. I like his voice. That said, my biggest issue with this novel is the quantity of exposition through dialog. Granted, there is a lot to explain in this world, but generally people don't talk like this. They think like this.

I was a bit worried about reading a novel about a pandemic during the current pandemic and quickly relieved to find out that the plot really doesn't revolve around the hisotry of Haden's syndrome. The end of the version I listened to had an audio drama of the history of the disease, but by the time I got to it, I was curious, so I enjoyed it. Some of the paralells between our current situation and Scalzi's fictional history …

Though enjoyable enough, this lacked something for me. I really didn't click with Shane, I must confess, bit of a Chris Longknife thing going on there and that properly put me off. A shame, as I was expecting to really, really dig this one.
