Obsidio by Amie Kaufman7/2/2023 How the attack happened, and the mayhem that ensued. The first book of the trilogy, Illuminae, lays out the background for the reader. Families and friends are separated, but at least they are safe. Refugees from Kerenza make their way onto rescue ships and escape ships, heading for a waystation where they can jump into hyperspace (or…something?). Pretend it never existed and make sure nobody is left to tell their story.īut the plan doesn’t quite work out that way. Bomb the mines, the schools, the daycares, the hospitals. This nasty company – BeiTech - didn’t care if there were innocents living on that planet, just bomb, destroy, erase the evidence. No specifics on what happened to life on earth, but not really necessary), and start off with a huge and evil corporation bombing (really, obliterating) an entire mining planet that had been doing some illegal mining on the side. The three books take place hundreds of years in the future (I think? There are many references to our life on earth: religion, history, poetry, etc. These are books are seriously big, and I definitely got invested in the story and the main characters (I quickly learned not to get too attached to anyone who wasn’t a beautiful teenager or a creepy computer). I feel like I’ve been reading these books forever and that’s not necessarily a criticism.
