    About this audiobook

    The thrilling second Chronological Man Adventure!

    When a giant airship descends on New York City in 1892 and threatens destruction if the world doesn't submit to the Martian flag, it's up to the mysterious Smith, inventor and adventurer to find out what forces are at work.

    From the dangerous basement fan-tan parlors of Chinatown to the top of the Statue of Liberty's torch, Smith and his brilliant assistant, April Malone, will have to unravel the clues and avoid danger lurking behind every corner. To stop the menace they'll need to enlist the help of Theodore Roosevelt and other early twentieth-century heroes.

    The second book in The Chronological Man series, The Martian Emperor combines mystery, airship battles and backroom Tammany Hall politics against the backdrop of a world on the verge of war.

      This is an unfortunate case of wrong expectations. i actually liked the primary story. it's Lovecraftian enough to be entertaining, thus I expected a minimum of one thing similar here.
      What I got was an yank Doctor Who or something on the brink of it. i ended observance the TV series a season or 2 ago. Smith typically acts because the Doctor. Gregorian calendar month acts as a number of the Doctor' companions (at least not Amy lake or Clara, give thanks God). Some may appreciate sure aspects of the story (for example, Teddy Roosevelt plays a crucial part) over others, however they didn't mean anything to me.

      Also, after you are distracted like this, you tend to note numerous errors. The book required associate editor.

      Most of the book they - Smith, Gregorian calendar month and Roosevelt - are attempting to analyze the Martian issue. the remainder is there' somebody who needs to capture Smith (again).

      the largest drawback here was that I didn't expect the Doctor Who wannabe, that' all. i would try it once more some day and have higher luck since it isn't precisely a nasty story. If I had browse this 1st rather than the one with a ocean monster, i might adore it more.

      The writing is good. It' partaking and fast-paced. you wish the protagonists and hope they create it out alive. BUT...and here is why I won't be studying any further installments: the mystery if who Smith is, is unrealistically and endlessly dangled ahead of the reader. fantastic how? If I had a super-science widget and you asked Maine wherever I got such a marvelous item, and that i replied with a wink, voice communication "Oh, I even have my sources.", would you settle for that, shrug, and go within the conversation?? No. You'd be like "Seriously. wherever did you get the gadget??" associated you almost certainly wouldn't stop till your curiosity was fulfilled. "Oh, that' clearly not a true Martian." The character THINKS to raise however he would recognize a real Martian, however they don't. You're in an banned train that might collide headlong into another train, but the sole answer to the characters considerations is "Then we'd be in trouble.". Who the hell leaves the language at that??? Yet, this book is chock filled with stuff like that. It' frustrating! If your partner emerged from a vault each few decades while not aging, don't tell Maine you wouldn't dash through that door the instant he walked dead set go notice the mechanism/coffin/Lazarus pit he accustomed perform this feat? Wouldn't you would like the key to eternal life? These appurtenant characters are unrealistically un-curious and I'm through with it. after you want to succeed in into a book and strangle the characters, it' time to maneuver on. In contrast to the primary one among this series, this one fell a lot of flat for me.

      Gregorian calendar month student continues to be delightfully resourceful. Smith is--well, it feels a touch just like the author is cheating, as a result of he clearly is aware of who Smith is, however simply won't tell us, and I'm just obtaining uninterested in waiting.

      the largest drawback with this book for me, though, was that I had a way tougher time with suspension of disbelief. are you able to very hide that there? Wait, wherever did the unhealthy guys get *that*? And once I ought to the end, i spotted that the bad guys are even as mysterious as Smith, with powers just as mysterious, and (as I mentioned) I'm getting a touch tired of that. once the protagonists are too mysterious, you don't recognize the rules of the game, and also the author will (and during this case does) pull rabbits of of a hat, so I'm left thinking: wait, can he do that? It appears like violating the basic rules of detective stories.



      It simply didn't hold along additionally because the Monster within the Mist. Thinking back thereon now, I desire this is often imagined to Maine more just like the mag sagas (or The Matrix or the endless X men saga, the final word fruit of that), wherever all the physics is dubious, and the ideas are cool however not well thought out. Since I ne'er was able to get into that genre thanks to suspension of disbelief issues, I didn't honestly like this all that much.

      St. Andrew Mayne may be a fantastic writer, thus he is aware of the way to pull a story together. If you'll be able to get on the far side the doubts, you'd most likely relish this.
