Gravity Dreams

By: L. E. Modesitt Jr.

Narrated by: Eric Michael Summerer

In Earth's distant future, Tyndel is both teacher and mentor, a staunch devotee to his conservative and rigidly structured religious culture. Then a rogue infection of nanotechnology transforms him into a "demon", something more than human, and he is forced into exile, fleeing to the more technologically advanced space-faring civilization that lies to the north, one that his own righteous people consider evil. Although shaken by his transformation, he has the rare talent required to become a space pilot. What no one, least of all Tyndel, expects, is his deep-space encounter with a vastly superior being-perhaps with God.

wrong slang

klicks = kilometers
kilos = kilograms
it seems like a little thing but it would make it sound more authentic.

Philosophy delightfully snuck inside a fun science fiction tale.

I enjoyed the changing of perspective the main character goes through. The imagined history and technology was believable and well built. I recommend this story for fans of classic science fiction like Asimov, Herbert, and Heinlein.

Should have been a short story

Reminiscent of LEM Jr's Haze. Takes too long to get to an unsatisfying end.

Introspective sci-fi nano tech

I have read a few of the authors fantasy books. So it was a treat to come across this one. This was more a look at humans and their psychology. Interesting space travel and nanontech but it was an interesting look on a persons perspectives and how they can change with different events. How we fool ourselves to see what we want. I really enjoyed it. It is slow and not action packed which was a nice change for me but be warned. Thank you for this book of gravity dreams.

I pleasent listening experience.

I enjoyed the characters and the overarching narrative. another good book from the authors mind.
