“On its face, this mission is simple: return to the ruined planet Tellus, from which mankind originates. When our Founders realize the world was dying , they built the Muskos-Mercer Drive in secret. Then our ancestors bent the rules of light and fled to a new world circling another sun, so that something of humanity-the best of it-would survive”

My third read in the Forward Collection. So far:

1) Ark by Veronica Roth: 2/5
2) Summer Frost by Blake Crouch: 4/5
3) Emergency Skin by N. K. Jemisin: 4/5

Verdict: Mrs. Jemisin, NEVER stop writing. I know that after reading her “The Broken Earth” trilogy and one short story there's nothing I can say as an absolute truth but, hell, is she some kind of world-building master? I like the way she speculates and complains at the same time, her themes, her tone. Nothing new, I know, I just love her ways. Highly recommended!

Mr. Jason Isaacs, I really tried. It's just that my english is not good enough yet for audiobooks. T_T
