""This claustrophobic, horror-leaning tour de force is highly recommended for fans of Jeff VanderMeer’s Annihilation and Andy Weir’s The Martian."" -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
***
A thrilling, atmospheric debut with the intensive drive of The Martian and Gravity and the creeping dread of Annihilation, in which a caver on a foreign planet finds herself on a terrifying psychological and emotional journey for survival.
When Gyre Price lied her way into this expedition, she thought she’d be mapping mineral deposits, and that her biggest problems would be cave collapses and gear malfunctions. She also thought that the fat paycheck—enough to get her off-planet and on the trail of her mother—meant she’d get a skilled surface team, monitoring her suit and environment, keeping her safe. Keeping her sane.
Instead, she got Em.
Em sees nothing wrong with controlling Gyre’s body with drugs or withholding critical information to “ensure the smooth operation” of her expedition. Em knows all about Gyre’s falsified credentials, and has no qualms using them as a leash—and a lash. And Em has secrets, too . . .
As Gyre descends, little inconsistencies—missing supplies, unexpected changes in the route, and, worst of all, shifts in Em’s motivations—drive her out of her depths. Lost and disoriented, Gyre finds her sense of control giving way to paranoia and anger. On her own in this mysterious, deadly place, surrounded by darkness and the unknown, Gyre must overcome more than just the dangerous terrain and the Tunneler which calls underground its home if she wants to make it out alive—she must confront the ghosts in her own head.
But how come she can’t shake the feeling she’s being followed?

Det här var en enda lång leda. Vore det inte för att jag tvångsmässigt måste avsluta den bok jag påbörjat så hade jag slutat lyssna knappt en tredjedel in. Ett utdraget tjafsande fram och tillbaka. Kände noll sympati för karaktärerna. Hade uppskattat en nerbantad version eftersom idén i sig var tilltalande. Bra uppläsare.

Svettigt klaustrofobisk, gastkramande framtids-skildring.

Sååå seg. Monoton uppläsare.

Första halvan var 5 🌟 men efter det tänkte jag "Huh hur ska de fylla upp lika mycket till?" svaret på det var, genom att skriva samma sak igen. Typ.

Hmm. Som tidsfördriv en helt ok bok. Den blev lite repetativ till slut bara.

Thrilling at first, then it starts to repeat itself and becomes more a story about a neurotic hysterical young lady

En sci fi berättelse som handlar om en lååång promenad med inslag av klättring, kantad av många dåliga beslut från de båda huvudpersonerna. Det var svårt att få karaktärernas motivationer att upplevas som begripliga, eller trovärdiga. Gillade inte slutet heller. Jag kan inte rekommendera den här boken. Jag Lyssnade färdigt bara för att kunna skriva en recension som inte utelämnat något.

Avslutade efter 4 timmar. Det var som att lyssna på en dotter och hennes morsa i en dålig amerikansk tonårs drama rulle. Orimliga dialoger, beslut och beteenden. Världsbeskrivningen var icke-existerande, hon lade mer tid på att beskriva stretchövningar.
