In this superb tale, Munteanu has woven a tapestry of events that had me spellbound to the end! I am now most anxious to read 'Inner Diverse', the second book in the trilogy and then third book, once she has written it!!! I am enthralled with Nina Munteanu's style of story telling and I have just become her newest fan!!!
Rhea Hawke is a Galactic Guardian, and I love to say her name. I can picture her boots, her great coat, and her side arms. I want to be her when I grow up. Obviously, you can tell I developed some hero worship for her by the end of this book. I really got wrapped up in this novel. Yes, the characters only grew a little bit, and that growth was mainly on Rhea and her relationship to her mother, but I really conne Rhea Hawke is a Galactic Guardian, and I love to say her name. Yes, the characters only grew a little bit, and that growth was mainly on Rhea and her relationship to her mother, but I really connected with her.
I loved all the fancy tech and the variety of alien races, with humans barely hanging on as a species. I will definitely be keeping my eye out for Book 2. Nina Munteanu's space thriller is now a scintillating audiobook narrated exquisitely by Dawn Harvey. Harvey breathes incredible life into this fast paced metaphysical thriller about a female detective who must solve the mystery of a spiritual sect massacre. A rollercoaster ride guaranteed to entertain. When the action starts it goes into hyper-drive The moon is mostly ocean beneath a thick layer of ice with thermal vents that provide the inhabitants—a spiritual sect called the Schiss—a home.
It is also the home of the ancient migrating trees, ammuts giant flying insects , and the weeping mountains with their narcotic boiling seas used by the giant apophus to attack and set its millions of babies to devour Rhea in Book 1. Virgil 9 is a tidally locked moon that orbits the gas giant 70 Virginis b; day and night last for weeks while water swings the extreme from deluge flood to desert conditions.
In Virgil City, Rhea does commerce with information broker Shlsh Shle She, a moody amoeba-like photosynthetic Ngu who is just a pseudopod of a larger hive-entity. Sekmet is a bog planet, where the raw materials of dust are harvested by the Rill, bulbous short smelly bog creatures with tube eyes, webbed limbs and large sexual organs; and who Rhea pretty much wipes out with her MEC weapon.
Sekmet is also the location of a galactic penal colony Hades where Rhea is sent in Book 2. When she tries to escape, she must contend with other native creatures of Sekmet such as the giant crocodile-like sobeks and the terrifying kepry—giant flying crustaceans. In Book 3, Rhea returns to Earth, transformed by Eosian settlers from its former polluted state dominated by urban concrete cities to an entirely natural world, now unpolluted and featuring the ancient purple vishna tree and a crystal symbiotic organic technology.
Worlds always have cool bling associated with them.
What technologies or devices are featured in Splintered Universe? I created an entire fleet of ships, all run on various technologies, from crystals, to wave-energy to dreams. That was fun to create.
Two main ship builders include: Benny is a sentient ship that jacks the particle-stream and with whom Rhea has an interesting relationship. The ship serves essentially as butler, administrator, companion, and rescuer. I also created a wide range of weapons, based on which alien race created them and for what purpose. Rhea gained some notoriety with her own created weapon, the MEC short for Magnetic-Electro Concussion pistol, a versatile wave-weapon that can target DNA signatures and do almost anything you want with a single sweep.
Her proprietary MEC design is coveted by many groups—from shady crime syndicates such as Eclipse to her own Guardians. I hear that the last audiobook the third book in the trilogy is finally out this January. That means that all three books of the Splintered Universe are now available in print, ebook and audiobook format.
How does it feel to have a trilogy available in three complete formats?
It speaks to our different ways of consuming story. The experience was truly cosmic. When Iambik took on the books as audiobooks, they provided me with three voice artists to audition. It is sexy and irreverent with a hidden vulnerability and sensitivity that perfectly captured the main character Rhea Hawke.
Working with Dawn was a pleasure. She ensured that each character had the appropriate vernacular, tone, accent and cadence. Then she did proofs and confirmed them with me. Please review your cart.
