Six-time Hugo Award winner Ben Bova chronicles the saga of humankind's expansion beyond the solar system in Death Wave

In the precursor to the Star Quest Trilogy, New Earth, Jordan Kell led the first human mission beyond the solar system. They discovered the ruins of an ancient alien civilization. But one alien AI survived, and it revealed to Jordan Kell that an explosion in the black hole at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy has created a wave of deadly radiation, expanding out from the core toward Earth. Unless the human race acts to save itself, all life on Earth will be wiped out.

When Kell and his team return to Earth, many years after their departure, they find that their world has changed almost beyond recognition. Not only has a second wave of greenhouse flooding caused sea levels to rise, but society has been changed by the consequences of the climate shift. Few people want to face Jordan Kell's news. He must convince Earth's new rulers that the human race is in danger of extinction unless it acts to forestall the death wave coming from the galaxy's heart.

Euphegenia Doubtfire

Not a bad story, but the misogyny...

Granskad i Storbritannien den 25 juni 2020

Don't want to launch into a huge diatribe here BUT...

The story is good. The plot is unique and fascinating. The characters are interesting enough to keep you engaged.

However, Ben Bova writes his female characters as if they're damsels in distress from a 19th century romance novel written by an over-imaginative incell. I got through the first two books, but ended up giving up half-way through the third - couldn't take the way he described the uber-brilliant hyer-educated female protagonist as if she was just waiting around for a man to save her. The minute she falls in love with the main character, she goes from being an accomplished and independent woman with her own views, to a shallow and fainting girl who needs to be carried about like she has no mind of her own and desperately needs a man's validation.

In all honesty, please don't let your kids read this unless you want them to think women are objects that need saving.

Not impressed

Like the 1st novel in the trilogy New Earth, I was disappointed in this 2nd novel too. Very uninspired plot and flat characters. I only read this as I had already purchased the trilogy together. I hope the 3rd novel is better.

I remember reading Ben Bova books as a teenager but, whether it's this one or just me, the plot is rather simple (fast-paced but superficial), the characterization very old-fashioned and simplistic (for example, I'm don't usually take notice of the male-female roles but in this book, they're straight out of the 1950s). I just gave up after about 100 pages.

When good writers get too old....

Granskad i Kanada den 11 augusti 2019

Verifierat köp

Interesting premise, BUT.... Lame character development, superfluous wardrobe descriptions, gender roles right out of the mid-20th Century......nothing even close to the quality of writing I remember from him as a younger man.
