The Lost Colony

Bravo, Bravo, Bravo! The conclusion to the Long Winter trilogy is nothing short of epic! A. G. Riddle's writing rivals J. R. R. Tolkien in its complexity and depth, a masterpiece of storytelling and world building. Honestly, this is the best piece of science-fiction I have read in, well, ever. It is detailed and scientifically informed enough to be absolutely believable, it has so much action, that your adrenalin levels hardly ever get a rest, it tackles life's great (philosophical) questions and, most importantly, like any great story, it is at its heart about people. The world Riddle builds is so juicy, and detailed, you can easily feel yourself inside it. The imagination flowing from his pen is sheer endless. I am the type of person that has watched, read or listened to all the major stories already... I usually understand what the ending will be about half way through. Here I did guess the origin of the grid some hours before we got to the explanation, but I couldn't have fathomed the complexity and imagination that went into embedding and explaining this reveal. Simply marvelous! This book can be read as a type of fast-paced space opera focussing on the action, but it can also make you tackle life's essential and big questions, such as: Why are we here? How important is our existence? What really counts in life? Or how does this freakin Universe actually work? ☺️ It seriously has been the best piece of Sci-Fi I l've read ever. Bravo again!
