Interference

A Novel (Semiosis Duology, Book 2)

By: Sue Burke

Narrated by: Caitlin Davies, Daniel Thomas May

“Narrators Caitlin Davies and Daniel Thomas May reprise their roles, and between them, they’ve once more captured the essence behind the voices of multiple characters, and even more impressively, this time there are non-humans thrown into the mix.” — Bibliosanctum

Sue Burke's sweeping, award-finalist, SF Semiosis epic continues in Interference as the colonists and a team from Earth confront a new and more implacable intelligence.

Over two hundred years after the first colonists landed on Pax, a new set of explorers arrives from Earth on what they claim is a temporary scientific mission.

But the Earthlings misunderstand the nature of the Pax settlement and its real leader. Even as Stevland attempts to protect his human tools, a more insidious enemy than the Earthlings makes itself known.

Stevland is not the apex species on Pax.

The trip was better than the destination

I enjoyed the story as it played out and the performers were excellent. The problem was that the story was much more interesting than where it all ended up.

finally complex nonhumanoid aliens!

Burke evokes everything I love about classic scifi, the tone the ideas the compex sociology. i loved semiosis and now im a forever fan.

Interesting premise

Sentient plants, some pretty dull, some brilliant. Interstellar travel with its attendant time distortions and delays. A whole family of corals yet to be explored.
This is clearly the second in at least a trilogy. So far it has been interesting, but the way the main characters keep switching is kind of disorienting. I enjoyed both books and hope that the next installment isn’t so far in the future that the story has to be extensively reviewed.

Pretty good sequel.

While I like the first book better, I thought this one did a great job at expanding the world of Pax. Overall, I enjoyed this book.

not bad for a sequel

as with many of the multiple volume stories, this could have easily been a single volume. you really have no choice but to buy the last volume to learn the ending, which I did, because the story is that good
