About this product
Product Information
Our ancestors fled Earth, humanity's survivors absconding on the eve of a nuclear apocalypse. Their only hope of survival hinging on finding more of the ultra-rare element that makes faster than light travel possible. A quest that pulls them half a galaxy away. Three hundred years and nine generations later, humans have established themselves in their New Eden. In the asteroid belt, the Federation of Free Colonies holds sway, a loose affiliation of Privateers who have maintained their independence through superior technology and control of key resources. On the central worlds, the United Corporate Sphere are the descendants of the original conglomerates who funded humanity's exodus. The pragmatic Corporatists have established a multi-world utopia through questionable means, subjugating society's destitute, sending them to work for the rest of their lives on welfare colonies. Jarek Ansley lives in hiding amongst the people of one such colony, Anesidora-3, scratching out a brutal living as a resource miner. Now, after eight years of undisturbed peace, a single ship descends in the dead of night, threatening to expose his deepest secret; the long-dormant power trapped within him. Reviewed By K.C. Finn from Readers' Favorite: The Promethean Child is a work of fiction in the genres of science fiction, social issues, and interpersonal drama, and was penned by author Jose Adame. Taking place in a far-flung future after the last survivors of Planet Earth have fled for a New Eden across the stars, we now find that dangerous old habits and new intergalactic threats once again threaten the collapse of society. As the destitute are forced to work their lives away on welfare colonies, we meet protagonist Jarek Ansley, a man with a closely guarded secret. But soon a chain of events will threaten to expose the truth and take the reality of this supposed utopia down with it. Author Jose Adame has crafted a work of science fiction that takes the essence of the societal and cultural ills which we are all plagued by in contemporary times and puts them at the heart of a deep-space drama in an equally relatable way. One of the features which impressed me the most about this work was the quality of its worldbuilding, developing the political and economic structures of a future world which have taken many of the worst elements of capitalism and classism and proposed them as a utopian future. With this insightful concept in mind, we home in on Jarek and his surroundings, discovering a poignant emotional layer to the tale with effective dialogue and cinematic descriptors that present a highly relatable hero in a future which is all but secure. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Promethean Child to fans of hard science fiction filled with insights and sharp social commentary.
