Produktbeschreibung

In 2352 AD, humankind has irresponsibly short-changed themselves as the destructive forces of greed-fascism exploit our home for its perceived riches at the sacrifice of the 'wellbeing' of the human condition. The battle to preserve THE GLASS PLANET from Minister Riverstrike and the human forces seeking dominance and wealth over the masses is on the shoulders of the two time-travelers from the 20th century who gain celebrity as the first time-travelers in history. They inspire the Zealot Sentinels, lead by the Commander Janalake, who is a trusted advisor to Minister Riverstrike, but she harbors a mysterious past with an affection for the proletariat. The future of the existence of the human race will forever change, if it is able to survive at all, by preserving THE GLASS PLANET!

Autorenporträt

blue ink Review (August 2022) In Christopher Zyck's debut novel-a grand-scale science fiction narrative set in the 24th century- two amnesiac "time refugees" regain consciousness almost 350 years in the future. The story focuses heavily on the economic philosophy of humankind's future society, which is to help facilitate "the 'wellbeing' of the human condition." It begins with two people, a man and a woman, waking in a cave located in what looks like the jungles of the Amazon. The characters-who eventually realize they're named Catherine and Jurgen -make it back to civilization only to discover a wildly technologically advanced world that has outlawed greed-fascism and has begun conquering the stars. But as the story evolves, readers learn that the seeming utopia isn't as idyllic as it seems. The sheer vastness of the story's scope is noteworthy, comparable to Vernor Vinge's shelf-bending, mind-blowing Zones of Thought novels (A Fire Upon the Deep, et. al.). The depth of world-building and scientific speculation is also a strength (the terraforming of Earth via revolutionary filtration and irrigation advances, for example). Ultimately, this is a visionary and deeply speculative science fiction epic . . .
