If you are into sci-fi with spaceships, aliens and the fight for human survival, then to sleep in a sea of stars, and the prequel Fractal noise, are just the thing for you. They have not been translated into Danish yet, but hopefully they will be. In the story, we follow Kira, who is a xenobiologist and who, during a preliminary investigation, of a planet that has not yet been colonized, but according to the plans it will be, finds an alien artifact by chance. The consequences of the find now cause the snowball to roll, throwing her on an epic journey and war against not just one, but three different alien life forms and a life and death battle together with the crew from the wallfish and their mastermind Gregorovich. In the book we also meet a lot of other characters, including the crew from the wallfish, who are so well described that I would like to read a book just about them and their adventures to gain more knowledge and familiarity. The book is a longer one of its kind, so if you are not into small bricks, it is probably not the one to take with you as summer reading. However, I would recommend it anyway, as there will be a chance that there will be for the whole holiday and that you therefore do not need to take more than that with you. Despite the brick, I can highly recommend this to those who really like Science Fiction, it's the book I think back to when I think back to a good book. If you want a bit of background to To sleep in a sea of stars, I can recommend reading Fractal noise. The story takes place 23 years before To sleep in a sea and stars and provides some background knowledge for the events in the book. Hvis du er til sci-fi med rumskibe, aliens og kamp for menneskets overlevelse er to sleep in a sea of stars, og forhistorien Fractal noise, lige noget for dig. De er ikke oversat til dansk endnu, men det bliver den forhåbentligt. I historien følger vi Kira som er xenobiolog og som under en forundersøgelse, af en planet der endnu ikke er koloniseret, men efter planerne skal blive det, via tilfældigheder finder en alien artifact. Følgerne af fundet får nu snebolden til at rulle, og kaster hende ud på en episk rejse og krig mod ikke bare én, men hele tre forskellige alien livsformer og en kamp på liv og død sammen med besætningen fra the wallfish og deres skibshjerne Gregorovich. I bogen møder vi også en masse andre karakterer blandt andet besætningen fra the wallfish, som er så godt beskrevet at jeg gerne ville læse en bog bare om dem og deres eventyr for at få mere viden og kendskab. Bogen er en længere en af slagsen så hvis man ikke er til små mursten, er det nok ikke den man skal tage med som sommerlæsning. Jeg vil dog anbefale den alligevel, da der vil være en chance for at der er til hele ferien og at man derfor ikke behøver tage flere end den med. På trods af murstenen kan jeg varmt anbefale denne til dem der virkelig godt kan lide Science-fiction, det er den bog jeg tænker tilbage på når, jeg tænker tilbage på en god bog. Hvis du ønsker lidt forhistorie til To sleep in a sea of stars, kan jeg anbefale at læse Fractal noise. Historien foregår 23 år før To sleep in a sea og stars og giver lidt baggrundsviden for begivenhederne i bogen.
