The Medusa Chronicles: “Jupiter Within” (6.54-6.67)
This setting has potential. This story never had any.
The Medusa Chronicles: Peace Envoy (5.44-53)
Last time on The Medusa Chronicles: we destroyed Earth.
This time on The Medusa Chronicles: we destroy my investment in the story.
The Medusa Chronicles, "Encounter In the Deep," 1.6-7
I was really expecting the story to improve once we got into some action plots and high tech problem solving. I'm stunned and disappointed that it actually got worse.
The Medusa Chronicles, "Encounter In the Deep," 1.4-5
This is a story about human relationships and community written by people who have never gone outside.
The Medusa Chronicles Chapter 1: Encounter in the Deep (parts 2-3)
=So far, my verdict on this book is "wake me up when the talking chimps are back."
The Medusa Chronicles (prologue)
I'm sort of wryly amused by this being a near-utopian optimistic vision of the future, but almost everyone in it being such an asshole. Climate change reversed, ecosystems restored, humanity unified under a democratic government, colonies on Mars, but you can't go a page through it without wishing Howard really did have built-in missile launchers he could use on these twats.
