This book will keep you interested and invested every step of the way. Sci Fi books have more imagination than any movie ever made. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?Ī movie would ruin this great book. I am certainly not a critic but at some point an excellent reader is essentially an actor. Scott Brick and Victor Bevine also doing an outstanding job. What does Allyson Johnson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book? I don't really re-listen to books, but that doesn't diminish the fact that this book was fantastic. The character with the French name carries a French accent. I liked how she assigned different accents to the various Titanides. She manages to cast her voice in a deeper tone much of the time which suits me better for long hours of listening. Thankfully there are many more characters in this novel for her to explore her vocal range.
Allyson Johnson’s effort here is much more satisfying than in the previous book. WIZARD can be thought of as the introduction. But when you are done with this one realize that the next one, DEMON, escalates the conflict to Hollywood Epic proportions. This is a fun book and a grand adventure on its own. The being Gaea is so significantly advanced in her technology for her works to seem like magic. Varley has invented a scenario where almost anything can happen and still remain in the preview of Science Fiction.
When reading this for the first time I felt the ever widening sense of wonder that I had come to love from Science Fiction, and even now, twenty-five years later, I still enjoy this story for that amazing rollicking appreciation of strangeness. This story unfolds and we are allowed to see the nature of the conflict that is brewing never mind that it is a struggle that Gaea has carefully orchestrated to suit her sense of celluloid drama, she is, after all, crazy. This necessary tour sets the stage for the main event.
There is much that much be laid out and put in place before we can feel we know our way around the place. In this volume we learn the true lay of the land through what amounts to a travelogue of the wheel. She is insane, and that is the basis for all the fun. WIZARD lets us foray into the inner workings of the living artificial world that calls herself Gaea. After the introduction that is the novel TITAN this second volume in the trilogy widens the scope of the story into a vast playground.
