Further: Beyond The Threshold (2012) - Plot & Excerpts

A pretty interesting premise and entertaining characters. I actually quite liked this book, and would have given it 4 stars if not for one glaring error in timeline control on the author's part, which annoyed me on both ends of the timelapse.. both on the front end when I didn't understand, and then on the ass-end when I found the fault.It's a worthwhile read, albeit short, and a good start to the series I assume it's supposed to spearhead, but as a stand-alone book it's lacking a little bit of flesh on it's bones.None the less, just because it's a bit skinny it isn't bad, and I'll recommend this book to any SciFi fans looking for a quick and entertaining read. Some good popcorn sci-fi. Not to sell the book short calling it popcorn. It does a great job of world building. Roberson creates 2 futures. One the near future after a global disaster. The other 12000 years later. It is a unique take on culture and identity as sentience evolves. It does introduce many new culture/species which don't feel fully explored/presented before abandoning them for space action-adventure. The fish out of water, first act could have filled the whole book and it would have satisfied me. It feels like the start of a series but I don't know if any more has been written. I would read more books in the same universe.

What do You think about Further: Beyond The Threshold (2012)?

Great for my 12 year old son - lots of worm holes/new weird human species etc

This book is bad, and the author should feel bad for writing it.

Not good enough to make me pursue another.
