Critiques

More morality than sci-fi


(1.5 étoiles)

A rather dull story dominated by the promotion of Christian values. The moralistic overtones gradually increase and the science fiction aspect only unfolds well into the book, seemingly, solely to open fresh Christian missionary possibilities. I stopped listening due to boredom and preaching fatigue about 2/3 of the way through. Multiple readers of varying ability adversely affect listenability.
