Sinossi
«Fantascienza al suo meglio.»
Daily Mail
Gli ultimi superstiti dell’umanità hanno abbandonato la Terra, ormai invivibile, e sono alla ricerca di un nuovo posto da chiamare casa. Il piccolo pianeta Eos sembra il luogo ideale: il clima è mite, l’ambiente ospitale e, soprattutto, è lontano dai pericoli. Ma non tutto è perfetto come sembra… Perché i coloni che per primi sono atterrati su Eos sono spariti senza lasciare traccia. Il dottor James Sinclair è al lavoro per risolvere il mistero legato alla loro scomparsa, ma, nel corso della sua ricerca, si imbatte in una scoperta ancora più incomprensibile: sotto la superficie di Eos sono sepolte migliaia di sfere. Potrebbero essere la chiave per ritrovare i coloni? O sono forse proprio la causa della loro sparizione?
Mentre Sinclair tenta di studiare le sfere, una tempesta si abbatte su Eos, e una nuova minaccia incombe sui superstiti: un pericolo che nessuno avrebbe potuto prevedere…

THE CONCLUSION TO THE SERIES IS ONE THAT WILL JUST BLOW YOUR MIND THE LOST COLONY (THE LONG WINTER TRILOGY BOOK 3) by A.G. Riddle is well written, suspenseful, full of action, and loss that will keep you thinking that you just might know what's coming on the next page or in the next chapter. DON'T K Leggi tutto
2.75 stars rounded up. What a shame, this could have been a lot better. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the story, the concept and the series. What let this book down was... I have a friend who often uses movie analogies, think of it like this - someone is rescued after being held captive for some time. Leggi tutto
I do not know where things went wrong, but at times even during the first quarter of the story it was soooo boring I literally had to force myself to carry on. Why did we need hours of E.Rex attacks and translucent scorpions when all of this had no meaning neither any effect on the story line or cha Leggi tutto
Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion, too Imagine all the people Living life in peace... oh, shut up! This was ultimately a waste of time. Part Jurassic Park part Matrix part what the hell was that? Let me tell you what the good was. Very short chapter Leggi tutto
The Lost Colony is 2.5 books between two covers. In book 1, the last of humanity, holed up on a foreign planet fight for survival with dinosaurs, transparent scorpions, the weather, and robots. In book 2, the history of man, technology and robots is revealed, which answers the question why, in Book
Another five star reread for me of A. G. Riddle books. The Lost Colony is the third and final book in a series. One of the things I love about this author is that his science fiction is somewhat believable. He has a way of explaining difficult science in an understandable way, at least for anyone li Leggi tutto
Very disappointing. The first in this trilogy made a great start. The second became mired and led me to consider in my review of it, that given the decline in writing evident, I would not be surprised were the third book to resort to a similar technique to the TV series Lost: An altogether implausib Leggi tutto
I absolutely loved the first two books in the series. This last one was a bit of a letdown after all that buildup. The characters spent the first half of the book running away from dinosaurs that they should have known all about after studying the planet for so long before landing on it. Although ve Leggi tutto
A great twist of an ending to a thrilling series I thoroughly enjoyed this last book and did not expect the twisted ending . It’s not going to leave you disappointed though , never fear! Pretty much speechless but I really value the fact that every series or stand alone book is really smart (sometim Leggi tutto
