If you could sum up The Sunborn in three words, what would they be?
Fascinating.
Thoughtful.
Fufilling.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Human: Victor. Complex, authentic and rarely predictable.
Non Human : difficult to say without a spoiler effect, but all the non human characters are fascinating and totally original.
What about the narrators’s performance did you like?
All 3 of them were shockingly real, consistent and professional ( unlike some of the recent performances I have listened to.) Stephan and Susan created , and completely own, Julie and Victor, and their total honesty is refreshing. Richard adds a level of complexity to an already rich offering.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Farewell Charron.
Any additional comments?
This stunning offering continues the Martian saga into the next set of the planets. It does have that Ben Boca feel to it, but the characters are such that the listener genuinely cares about their lives . I for one hope there is another book ( at least ) and the saga continues.
I highly recommend this offering!
