Historia
Neal Stephenson is a blazing new force on the sci-fi scene. With the groundbreaking cyberpunk novel Snow Crash, he has "vaulted onto the literary stage." It weaves virtual reality, Sumerian myth, and just about everything in between with a cool, hip cybersensibility - in short, it is the gigathriller of the information age.

Historia
In Jasper Fforde's Great Britain, circa 1985, time travel is routine, cloning is a reality (dodos are the resurrected pet of choice), and literature is taken very, very seriously. England is a virtual police state where an aunt can get lost (literally) in a Wordsworth poem and forging Byronic verse is a punishable offense. All this is business as usual for Thursday Next, renowned Special Operative in literary detection.

Historia
In a not-too-distant future that is not quite ours, there has been a major scientific breakthrough. It is a way to open windows into the past, permitting historical researchers to view, but not participate, in the events of the past.
In one of the most powerful and thought-provoking novels of his remarkable career, Orson Scott Card interweaves a compelling portrait of Christopher Columbus with the story of a future scientist who believes she can alter human history from a tragedy of bloodshed and brutality to a world filled with hope and healing.

Reseñas de la Crítica
Would make a great movie.

But back to this book its a broad brush of entanglements that look into the hidden world of ancient peoples and ideas.
Truth be told in blurred lines

The pace of the book was very slow once you got past chapter 1. I liked how it opened and was really disappointed with how long it took to get back to the opening action. The author seemed to use alot of obscure words for describing things and for me it really confused the whole story which I think could have been quite brilliant given its subject. I suffered through the audible and was faintly entertained but I've listened to much better.

Where does In the Courts of the Sun rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I listen to many audiobooks a year (20-40 average), and this is definitely in my top 20 ever listened to.What was one of the most memorable moments of In the Courts of the Sun?
The author paints a fantastic picture and brings you into the world of Jed. The narrator does a fantastic job portraying the main character as one with aspergers.Which character – as performed by Robertson Dean – was your favorite?
Definitely Jed. Mr. Dean really brought him to life for me. Definitely NOT one-dimensional!Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
absolutely! Unfortunately, due to the length of the book this wasn't viable.Fantastic stream of consciousness

Not for everyone

The story held my interest and provided a fascinating view of Maya culture. I got a real kick out of who the perpetrators of the Orland event turned out to be.
The cynicism was off-putting and the ending was cut-off and disappointing. Very bleak view of the world at the end.
In all I'm glad I listened to it and I'll just forget the last 15 minutes.
Interesting but bleak

What would have made In the Courts of the Sun better?
The concept for the story was amazing, but I could not get past the writing style. It sounded like a whiny teenager at times. Oh Em Gee, Totes, etc. really got on my nerves. I'm used to reading authors such as Clancy, Rollins, and many other greats and this just did not measure up. It is almost as if it is geared toward a young audience (I'm 42).What did you like best about this story?
The story was an amazing concept and I really wanted to enjoy the book more than I did. I just could not get past his writing style. Robertson Dean's performance made it tolerable so I did listen to the end, but I will not purchase the second book.Great Concept... Poor Execution
