This is a 4 book series. The Eden Paradox was great fun. 🚀🚀🚀🗼 I enjoyed it thoroughly despite some space mines I found on the way. Book One starts on earth in the near future. A mission has been sent to planet Eden to assess its condition as a future home world for humanity. After WWIII humans have only a few years to escape the devastated planet. Short story long… Eden isn’t uninhabited and humans are in danger of being annihilated. Book 1 then reveals a much bigger universe than only Earth and Eden. There are hundreds of species in the galaxy organized under a socio-political system called the grid which classifies species according to their level of intelligence, the highest being level 19.. and humans being level 3. As humans struggle to escape from the Q’Roth they have to face more dangers from the grid and beyond.
It took me a bit more than 3 weeks to complete the 1474 pages but this was no problem as the books are super entertaining and gripping. However I should mention one of the problems I found in the narrative, and that was the depiction of interpersonal relationships. I thought they were lousy and clumsy. At a macro level, alliances and frictions within the grid seemed fine and were convincing. However, the micro level, love and family relationships felt awkward, some dialogues made me cringe. As I was enjoying the overall story I chose to ignore them.
