Epub Limit ePUB Ë Â rildem.co  limit free, Limit ePUBWhat a big book this was It started out slow ish not really slow but because Schätzing has to introduce so much a cast of 100 characters a world we don't know yet places we might never see at least not like this dynamics between people countries societies it just takes a loooong time for the actual action to start And once it starts it's very visual and fast and exciting making the reader wonder if this is still a book or rather a script draft for Michael BayI like Schätzing

Epub Limit ePUB Ë Â rildem.co  limit free, Limit ePUBStill wondering how much I should 'punish' this book for the first 400 pages Sure luxury hotels are interesting especially when they're on the moon But 400 pages? A very very slow start of this book in my opinion But then the airbikes appeared And I fell in love with Owen Yoyo and Tian After that the book was exciting suspenseful and a real pageturner Moreover I learned a lot about living on the moon space travel the energy industry future scenarios the history of China etc Frank Schätzing really does his research and it shows I know I will remember this book in ten years when Venice maybe indeed is flooded just as I will remember The Swarm for many years to come Therefore 4 stars
