Kdo zdědí novou Zemi? Poslední zbytky lidstva opouštějí umírající Zemi a zoufale hledají nový domov. Vydávají se na cestu podle starých hvězdných map svých předků a nalézají největší poklad minulosti – terraformovanou planetu připravenou pro lidský život.
Ale v tomto novém Edenu není vše úplně v pořádku. Planeta nečeká na lidstvo prázdná a čistá. Její noví vládcové ji z bezpečného přístavu proměnili na nejhorší můru lidstva. Blíží se nevyhnutelný střet dvou civilizací a stejně nevyhnutelný boj o přežití. Osud lidstva je na vážkách. Kdo je skutečným dědicem nové Země?
Po Kleci dusi od stejnyho autora sem cekal mistama slozitejsi pasaze. Celkem originalni knizka, kdy se jeden experiment trosku vymkl a zbytky lidstva se s tim experimentem o par tisic let opet potkaji. Mozna castecne i sonda lidstvi (ne zrovna pozitivni).
Zaokrouhlime nahoru na 4 hvezdy.
I enjoyed this one a lot. The ending left a little bit more to be desired, but overall it was a great read.
Very intriguing story and great world-building on the green planet. I was really fascinated by the cities and technologies made from silk.
But I never felt too much sympathy with the protagonists, because they either only came up for a short period and then disappeared in time, repeating the same names (Portia) for different characters didn't help. Or because they were not very likeable. There was hardly any backstory on the crew of the ship, and emotional storylines like the relationship of classicist and engineer were rather subdued, never made it into my heart. The storyline was foreseeable in many parts, even the rather abrupt ending. I found myself skipping lines and paragraphs towards the end.
This may sound negative, and honestly, the book leaves me somehow unsatisfied, even though I can't point out a singular reason. Nevertheless, I would recommend reading it, it's entertaining and gripping in most parts, …

What a great book. I'm so happy I went back to it, and I'm looking forward to starting the second book in the trilogy, probably in the new year.
I would highly recommend this to any and all sci fi fans.
Incredible! "The smartest evolutionary world-building you'll ever read", indeed! I was not expecting that wonderful ending. I was bracing myself for an ending I would not like, but I was wrong!
I can't wait to start the second book.
