Un'altra storia meravigliosa da Alastair Reynolds
Mi piacciono tantissimo le opere di questo autore, sono sempre molto ben pensate, intriganti e con una profondità di background che dà credibilità a tutto l'universo creato da lui. Anche questa volta non delude: quando pensi di aver capito e chiarito tutto arriva la sorpresa ben congeniata... 😅

Great story, mediocre audio book.
I love the universes that Alastair Reynolds creates, and the stories he weaves in them so I was a little disappointed to see how short this story was (it's only an hour long, take note of the price as it's probably worth purchasing it rather than wasting a credit). Length complaints aside, this is a great story and I really enjoyed it. It vaguely echoes some of his other work but it's definitely new and interesting material, telling the story of some off-track astronauts, shuttling between brief vignettes of "now" and "not too long ago" with a nice psychological twist at the end to keep you wondering for a while.
That said, this audio version of it verges on terrible. I don't know if it's because I now unconsciously relate John Lee with Alistair Reynolds but the narrator (Tom Dheere) just didn't work for me. He sounded like he'd been challenged to read through the story as fast as possible and, to draw a traffic analogy, treated sentence ending punctuation much like a speedhump or chicane rather than stop signs or red lights. Additionally, the vignettes are separated by 15 seconds of music. WHY??? It's an audio version of a book, it doesn't need extra music or sounds effects, it just needs someone to read the words! If it's imperative to draw a distinction between separate passages then leave 2 seconds of silence to indicate it or something, don't start introducing lengthy chunks of foreign material where the author never intended them to be!

Good story, rushed narration
The story was good, and what I'd expect from this author. The narrator, however, seemed to be rushing through it as fast as he could, sounding almost breathless at points, which seemed generally inappropriate for the story.

Kind of a weird book
I have to say, until the last 10 minutes of the book, it wasn't very interesting.

Grate story. The narrator read a bit too fast for my liking, but overall a good book. this needs a sequel

Misrepresentation - Buyer Beware!
I bought this audiobook on Amazon, linking through from the paperback version of the “Beyond the Aquila Rift” short story collection. However, even though this has the same title as that collection, it is just a single story! I’m contacting Amazon to ask for a refund. Ripoff.

Bland Narration
Bland narration ruined a sci-fi classic. The mix of weird music didn't help either. Avoid. Watch Netflix Love, Death & Robots instead - or read the short story. It's brilliant.

Great story
I downloaded this book after having watched the Love, Death and Robots episode inspired by it. It's an excellent story, though, part of me wishes that I'd heard it before watching the episode, as is always the case.
One slight problem I had with this audiobook was the reading pace. There's a lot to take in in a pretty small amount of time and I think the author read too quickly and it didn't really give you a chance to dwell on what was happening. My solution to this was to change it to 80% speed, though, and that seemed to do the trick.
I listened to this whilst on a walk and it firmly held my attention throughout. Highly recommend particularly if you've *not* seen the Love, Death and Robots episode yet.

The orator does NOT understand pacing.
I decided to give this book a go as I recently watched the Love Death and Robots episode that is based on this short story. The story itself is in my opinion a tad less interesting than the animation, however my main annoyance stems from Tom Dheere. He reads this story like he had too much coffee and decided to speed run it. It's honestly quite jarring. A secondary complaint would be that he seems to struggle to clearly change voices for different characters. Often times I couldn't tell who was actually talking. All told, I wouldn't recommend this audiobook to people, I would instead recommend just watching the LD&R episode.
