Axiom’s End by Lindsey Ellis

January 24, 2023 by ingres77 3 Comments

(Minor spoilers) In an alternate 2007, President Bush is dealing with (in addition to the War on Terror) his own Julian Assange-type character named Nils Ortega. Except Ortega is also kind of an Alex Jones-type person, as he’s obsessed with supposed cover ups of alien visitations. His daughter is a college dropout living with her mother and two siblings, and they were all abandoned by Nils after he leaked some government documents called “the Fremda Memo” and fled the United States. The narrative is mostly […]

At least it wasn’t Nickelback

Axiom's End (Noumena, #1) by Lindsay Ellis

March 26, 2021 by ardaigle Leave a Comment

Lindsay Ellis’ debut novel is a doozy. Set in the recent past in 2007 she situates this science fiction novel in Bush’s America, as a whistleblower drops the knowledge bomb that we have made first contact with an alien species. Have we? Is it a hoax? No one is quite sure. The government disavows knowledge, but rather than be situated as your standard action-oriented alien adventure, we meet Cora, the estranged teenaged daughter of said whistleblower who is in the middle of the action, whether […]
