About this listen
What would happen to the world if the sun went out?
New epic sci-fi from Stephen Baxter, the award-winning author whose credits include co-authorship of the Long Earth series with Terry Pratchett.
By the middle of the 21st century, humanity has managed to overcome a series of catastrophic events and maintain some sense of stability. Space exploration has begun again. Science has led the way.
But then one day, the sun goes out. Solar panels are useless, and the world begins to freeze.
Earth begins to fall out of its orbit.
The end is nigh.
Someone has sent us a sign.

great idea poorly executed
great idea but the narrative is frustratingly, jarringly variable going from leaps that are way too big and feel contrived to daltingly pedestrian. the reading makes it worse. way worse.

One of his best in a long time.
Very enjoyable, easily one of his best in a long time. Lots of interesting ideas make it quite thought provoking imo.

Great premise.. didn’t deliver.
Disappointed. I don’t want to give away spoilers, but I think the publishers description was a bit misleading. All the action occurred in the first chapter. Yep the sun disappeared! But was then returned 24hrs later.
What happened? Well the rest of the book was a series of meetings and conferences where the main characters discuss that very question and decide what to do about it. It was incredibly bland. The characters where nice, and bland. There were bland references to the ongoing impact of the suns disappearance on earth. There mild bland political disagreements between major world powers.
The narrator was ok. I liked her voice, she didn’t attempt any accents so there was no differentiation between voices, which was ok. Until weirdly in the last quarter of the book she managed to produce a southern US accent for a minor character. I think she also changed the pronunciation of a persons name late in the book too.
I only finished it because I was intrigued about the conclusion, even that was disappointing.
