My dad, who loved this book, recommended it to me. Not my preferred genre but I enjoyed reading it. Good writing and intriguing plot.

[3.5 Sterne]

Absolute Empfehlung für das englische Hörbuch. Der mehrstimmige Cast bringt die actionreiche Handlung und die verschiedenen Perspektiven erst so richtig zur Geltung. Selbst die zahlreichen deutschen Namen werden relativ gut artikuliert. Gelesen hätte mir das Buch vermutlich nur halb so viel Spaß gemacht, auch weil es mit seiner extremen Geschichtlichkeit (Wettrüsten im Kalten Krieg, Space Race) eigentlich gar nicht in mein Interessengebiet fällt, aber Neuvel schafft es mit seiner Mischung aus historischen Fakten, übernatürlichen Elementen und der Integration weiblicher Figuren in eine männerdominierte Domäne trotzdem meine Neugier zu wecken und aufrecht zu erhalten. Im Nachhinein bin ich allerdings überrascht davon, wie ähnlich das Buch thematisch seinen Themis Files ist. Ich hoffe, das bewegt sich in den Fortsetzungen noch in eine andere Richtung.
