Le avventure di Azakis e Petri #1
Обратно Към Земята: ... Азакис И Петри
Нибиру, дванадесетта планета от нашата слънчева система, имаше изключително елипсовидна и ретроградна орбита, която е много по-голяма от тази на всички други. Всъщност, и отнема приблизително 3,600 години, за да направи една пълно обиколка около слънцето. Нейните жители, сграбчвайки възможността дадена им от тази циклична близост, правеха системни посещения в продължение на стотици хиляди години, всеки път оказвайки влияние върху културата, познанията, технологията и даже върху еволюцията на човешката раса. Нашите предшественици се обръщаха към тях по много начини, но името, което може би най-добре ги представяше винаги е било ``Богове``. Азакис и Петри, двама дружелюбни жители на тази странна планета на борда на космическият кораб Теос, се връщаха на земята, за да си вземат обратно един товар, който беше останал скрит по време на тяхното предишно посещение. Една завладяваща и забавна история, но в същото време изпълнена с напрежение и с някои смайващи интерпретации на исторически събития.

Apart maar toch wel leuk verhaal voor eventjes tussendoor.
Niet een van de beste verhalen in het genre, maar zeker ook niet heel erg slecht. Waarom dan toch maar twee sterren? Het verhaal kwam op sommige punten gekunsteld en ongeloofwaardig over. Waarom horen we niets meer van de mensen die het ruimteschip ontdekten?
Het schijnt dat er nog twee delen verschijnen. Of ik die ga lezen is nu nog erg twijfelachtig.

( Format : Audiobook )
"Press the blue button ...and let's see what happens."
An absolute hoot: this book has everything - archaeological investigation of the Ms.Indiana Jones vatiety, alternative history, conspiracy and comedic spies, a gentle start of a possible romance, sun, sand and slaceships, two verbally sparring aliens travelling back to earth to recover their lost treasure, comments on the state of the world, but, above all, humour.
The narration of Lee Horovitz compliments this comfortable comedy, reading with understanding and good exlression. His distinctive Australian accent adds to the atmosphere, helping to separate it from any overriding political sphere of influence, and his reading is clear and well paced, solid but with a smile hidden there. His character voicings, too, are appropriate and distinctive.
The story is simply written and could be enjoyed by any age. Funny, intriguing and insightful, too. My thanks to the rights holder for freely gifting me a complimentary copy of Back to Earth, at my request, via FAFY. This review has been given entirely voluntarily.
A final note: Although reaching a satisfying conclusion, the story is not finished, and leaves the opening for a follow-up: after learning so much more about mankind's origins, can it now be saved from disaster? Yes, I want to know, too.

Not a standalone story. Ends on a cliffhanger.

A self-published and translated book. I didn't get more than a couple pages into it, because radically wrong words were being used. What a waste.

Een plezierig verhaal die ik in de spaanse versie lees om mijn spaans te oefenen. Door de eenvoud hoef ik niet al tevaak naar een woordenboek te grijpen. Deel 2 en 3 zullen dus zeker volgen.

Eenvoudig geschreven en daarom ideaal om spaans lezen te oefenen
