sci-fi is all about Woke

Revisado: 02-03-24

ignore the woke comments from previous reviewers because well they are kind of stupid ...

First and foremost: WOKE Is what sci-fi is all about, anyone who gets all bent out of shape about woke shouldn't even be listening to this sci fi . This is not a place for the undereducated so go back to your cave and your people and you will be fine with your Civil War reenactments Nazi meetings ,hate speech, intolerance and all the stuff you guys used to do in the closet while the rest of us move on. ugga bugga Cro-Magnon.

it is a shame in this age and in this time that Don Quixote is not a novel written in the 17th century , that was formally considered a punishment by High School seniors but instead a warning to Future Generations about the orange Menace (and Rudy/Santos )who is out on bond for trying to subvert the Democratic process.

Even worse is that you still have Rhonda Santos ib FLA who would burn books if she thought she could get away with it.

Woke has always been a part of sci-fi always has been always will be and it's about rejecting intolerance and being a better people not being Nazis or walking in lockstep and fealty with an orange dork tater.
BOOM!


The story: it's really good, the audio is terrific the music the voices everything is very good reminded me of the show I used to watch a long time ago on TV.

You may need to look up the TV show possibly on Amazon it's really good an idea if you've never heard of space 1999 before so I would recommend that and I would also say it wouldn't hurt to look at a few images or even check a few novels .

Get this audiobook it is really good and I enjoyed it from the word go , just really amazing quality . There is a lack of narration and that's fine but like I said you should if you're not familiar with the show watch an episode or two on amz just to understand the show better otherwise you might be lost in this novel if you've never watched space 1999.

classic Sci-fi at its best!

Good premise but lacking a satisfying ending.

Revisado: 12-12-22

The premise of the story is interesting but I find the Orville crew's early steps at a solution to the issue to be very bad. They created most of the problem that they ultimately were unable to solve. How the problem was solved is mostly missing from the story. Like Star Trek, their advanced society doesn't seem to understand how to use the advanced technology they have.

I listened to this book while fishing in virtual reality before work.
it was a good read. although abridged, it was very good and I thoroughly enjoyed it while castibg my reel on the shore of a beach on a rainy day in south Korea . The production was really good with the voices of Leonard Nimoy and James Doohan. the production included Audio FX. and original theme music - easy read and enjoyable while I'm in my own " holodeck"

What did you love best about The Dueling Machine?

Before there was the matrix, the holo deck, virtual reality , lawn mower man there was the dueling machine . One of Bova's best works next to the Voyagers series and the exiles trilogy .

Who was your favorite character and why?

Dr Leoh. A very cool headed man with logical thinking and intuitive process.

What three words best describe Jim Roberts’s performance?

Not so good.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No

Any additional comments?

When I first read this book in the 80s the ending was that they had discovered teleportation using the dueling machine. Furthermore Hector had gotten some Odal's personality traits in the end of the book. I wanted to listen to that version .
