About this listen

 Returned to the Earth of 2037 by the Firstborn, mysterious beings of almost limitless technological prowess, Bisesa Dutt is haunted by the memories of her five years spent on the strange alternate Earth called Mir, a jigsaw-puzzle world made up of lands and people cut out of different eras of Earth's history.Why did the Firstborn create Mir? Why was Bisesa taken there and then brought back on the day after her original disappearance?

Bisesa's questions receive a chilling answer when scientists discover an anomaly in the sun's core - an anomaly that has no natural cause, evidence of alien intervention over two thousand years before. Now, plans set in motion millennia ago by inscrutable watchers light-years away are coming to fruition, in a sunstorm designed to scour the Earth of all life through a bombardment of deadly radiation.

Thus commences a furious race against a ticking solar time bomb. But even now, as apocalypse looms, cooperation is not easy for the peoples and nations of the Earth. Religious and political differences threaten to undermine every effort. And all the while, the Firstborn are watching...

A most enjoyable listen. Totally different from the plot of book one, although connected. Narration was excellent, was expected by the skills of John Lee. Book three ready to go.

Two down, bring on book three.

The story really pulled you in. Especially in the build up to the Sun Storm.

Fantastic story

Aye, a decent bit of Sci-fi, fairly dry as is to be expected from A.C.Clarke but a bit more gripping that some. The feminist "progressive" narrative gets a bit clumsy but, Arthur was woke before woke eh.

Better Than The First I Think

A very fine story but the first book is required reading albeit there is no direct connection and they can stand alone.This is very Stephen Baxter ! Everywhere there are references to 'soft screens'a device that populates many of his previous books. It almost borders on an obsession and can get quite tedious with ''soft screen this and soft screen that'' but the book is nonetheless a first class tale. The dome referred to in the latter stages is a variation of a dome referred to in Time Ships, perhaps his best work to date and one that Audible Books should look to include.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I have.

Wow what a wonderful sci-fi well ahead of its time. The AI's are an amazing pivotal part of this story. All the characters are so well drawn at times it doesn't feel like a sci-fi but then there are the science chunks which just blow your mind. Just amazing.

What a rollercoaster of a read!

Arthur C Clark has always been one of my favourite SF authors since I read The City and the Stars. This audio adaptation of Sunstorm is very good. I have not read the book. The reading performance is great, with different accents by the reader for each character. A must listen for any SF fan.

Great story

The first in the series was very original. This one, although it had some nice things about it, felt a bit plodding and didn’t have any surprises.

The first book was better

This book was an excellent continuation which keeps a mystery going. The storytelling is superb and technical. The narrator does a fantastic job. Overall, I highly recommend

Wonderful SiFi Storytelling
