Kate’s 2¢: “Winter World : The Long Winter”, The Solar War”, The lost colony” by A. G. Riddle
“Winter World : The Long Winter”, The Solar War”, The lost colony” by A. G. Riddle
Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as, describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read. I’m just saying…
Winter world
Well, the latest theory is that there is global warming, however, this sci-fi story has the globe in another ice age. This time it is caused by aliens sucking up the suns energy, keeping the world in a cool-down.
“The solar war”
3-D printers come in very handy when they’re needed to make the items that will save the human race from extinction.
Don’t you just hate it when the epilogue ends with a huge cliff hanger?
The lost colony: Book 3 / Long winter.
–If 3-D were any other number, the universe would be a radically different place.
–The grid we created, isn’t the first one ever created.
–Space time is the ultimate substance of the universe.
–The Big bang that created our universe will occur again, creating stars and begin all over again. A process with no beginning and no end; a loop.
–There is a dark side to the hunger of ambition.
–I want to go to bed every night knowing I helped someone overcome their darkest hour.
These three books were read by Edoardo Ballerini as James and Amanda Lee Camm as Emma. By alternating the view points through the readers voices, I enjoyed listening to the three books, one right after the other in a marathon session.
From his website:
–A.G. Riddle spent ten years starting internet companies before retiring to pursue his true passion: writing fiction.
His debut novel, The Atlantis Gene, is the first book in a trilogy (The Origin Mystery) that has sold over three million copies worldwide, has been translated into twenty-four languages, and is in development to be a major motion picture.
His fourth novel, Departure, follows the survivors of a flight that takes off in 2015 and crash-lands in a changed world. HarperCollins published the novel in hardcover in the fall of 2015, and 20th Century Fox is developing it for a feature film.
Released in 2017, his fifth novel, Pandemic, focuses on a team of researchers investigating an outbreak that could alter the human race. The sequel, Genome, concludes the two-book series.
Released in 2019, his seventh novel, Winter World, depicts a group of scientists racing to stop a global ice age. It is the first book in The Long Winter Trilogy, which is now complete.
Riddle grew up in Boiling Springs, North Carolina and graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill. During his sophomore year in college, he started his first company with a childhood friend. He currently lives in Raleigh, North Carolina with his wife, daughter, and an eccentric dog.
No matter where he is, or what’s going on, he tries his best to set aside time every day to answer emails and messages from readers. You can reach him at: ag@agriddle.com
