Kurzbeschreibung
With a plot inspired by chaos theory, fully realised characters, and plenty of twists and turns, this exciting hard SF adventure will keep readers on the edge of their seats. John Bandicut and several aliens and artificial intelligences have been thrown together by a force greater than themselves to prevent cataclysmic disasters on an interstellar scale. Now, before they can take a break after a world-saving mission, they are pulled into a waystation that is being threatened by highly destructive gravity waves. The waves are part of a much larger problem. Something is causing stars to become unstable and go prematurely nova - they're being murdered. Bandicut and his crew, in a jury-rigged ship, barely escape the waystation as it is wrecked by the gravity waves. Their destination is a star nursery in the Orion Nebula, where sentinent stars are being driven to destruction by an artificial intelligence bent on remaking the cosmos in its own image.

Der Autor versteht es einfach, auch die wildesten naturwissenschaftlichen Phantasien wirklich seriös wirkend darzustellen.
Dabei wird die Geschichte jedoch nie einseitig technisch-wissenschaftlich, im Gegenteil, auch die verschiedenen Charaktere werden im Verlauf der Erzählung sehr schön entwickelt; ihre Stärken und Schwächen spielen eine wesentliche Rolle im Verlauf der Geschichte. Es "menschelt" (auch bez. der Aliens :-) gerade im richtigen Maß.
Hard SF at its best - der Autor hat ein gewaltige Fantasie und versteht es, diese in Form von packenden Erzählungen mitzuteilen.

Another great Chaos Chronicles entry
26. Dezember 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I discovered Jeffrey Carver online and am so glad I did. It's been a long time since I've been excited by a new (to me) author. This guy writes a book that is enjoyable to read; not pretentious nor simplistic, in plot or character development. The characters in the Chaos Chronicles, John Bandicut and friends, are realistic and interesting.
Sunborn, fourth in the series, continues the adventure in a universe spanning series of "Chaos" events. You won't be disappointed in Carver's latest. Buy it and read it! :-)

Chaos Rules!
31. Dezember 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I expected to enjoy this fourth volume of the "Chaos Chronicles" but "Sunborn" is more than a good story, it is a real achievement in science fiction writing. Unlike a lot of modern series that are fun to read but tend toward repetition, every "Chaos" book travels to exotic new places, introduces different characters and explores the latest real-science ideas. Proven human hero John Bandicut keeps the reader grounded - a grand feat since he's racing through space-time on all cylinders. As usual Bandie is accompanied by a stylish group of aliens some of whom are difficult - but not impossible - to imagine. Their challenge is to track down and defeat a threat to star life. As the plot unravels a variety of wonderful themes are explored including the tender relationship between John and the lovely Antares, the friendship and trust between Ik and Li-Jared and everyone's reliance on robots Copernicus and Napolean. Toss in the translator stones, the Charlie variations and new friends nicknamed Deep and Dark and you've got a cast of characters unlike any other in the genre. Additionally, John's old flame Julie Stone is following in his footsteps back in the Solar System! Jeffrey Carver employs cutting-edge science, speculation and old-fashioned, way-out imagination to create a gem of a novel.

superb outer space thriller
1. November 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Earthling John Bandicut is bone tired after being exiled from his home planet, saving his world and subsequently two others. World saving is a tiring vocation. He currently travels through interstellar space with other exiles including one residing inside his head; they are a band of aliens from all sorts of orbs. John looks forward to rest when they reach their destination, a space station in the Orion Nebula sector.
However, he and his cohorts soon learn of a pandemic conspiracy to eradicate the sentient stars residing in this part of space. Struggling with communicating with the intended victims, John and his friends put off R&R to prevent genocide at a time when his homeworld also faces a major threat.
This is a superb outer space thriller starring a misunderstood hero and his alien peers. The cast is vast so except for John none seem more than two dimensional yet those key players provide keen perspectives as point of view changes inside of the non-stop action. Jeffrey A. Carver returns to his Chaos Chronicles universe for the first in a decade with an exciting throw back science fiction thriller.
