Series: The Company #1 I didn’t know much about this book going into other than it was about time travel. Oh and The Company works to preserve art and stuff from the past. This is technically true, but it may not be in the way you’d expect. Rather than have to spend a lot of time in the icky pas...
In the Garden of Iden (The Company #1) by Kage Baker Book Reaction (not a full review) When I discovered Kage Baker about a decade ago, I devoured her Anvil of the World series in less than a fortnight. But my library's collection of her Company series was far less complete. I think the only bo...
One wonderful character we start following in the first book of the series is Mendoza. She is an impoverished waif, but with a mind and a mouth. This proves to be very dangerous given that she has the bad luck to be living under the oppressive regime of the Inquisition in Spain during the 1500s. She...
A little bit of romance, a little bit of time travel, a little bit of historical fiction. It's a very gentle sci-fi-esque book wrapped in a good story with wonderful characterizations and language.I enjoyed it immensely and plan to continue in the series.
This is my review for the book for SF-Site.It is the 24th century and technology has continued to advance by leaps and bounds. In fact, one very innovative organization, Dr. Zeus Incorporated, also known as ‘The Company’, has discovered the secrets to both immortality and time travel. The mission ...
Do you like science fiction that tackles issues like what is or isn't humanity, free will, and time travel paradoxes, but also want historical fiction wherein British people run around in doublets killing, fucking, arguing God and philosophy, and eating really nasty food? This book is very much both...
Well written, with an interesting concept and characters, but I felt like the book just rushed through it and never managed to give the events any of the gravitas they required to pull off the more philosophical points. The most intriguing part was The Company, with its rather subversive, to my expe...
My rating: 2.5 of 5 stars My first exposure to Kage Baker's writing and to her Company series. In our future (about two centuries ahead of us), both time travel and immortality are discovered. As with most time travel scenarios in science fiction, history can't be rewritten, so said travel is of l...
hello there, little romance. i see you! you are trying to hide, aren't you? well you picked some good camouflage, i must say. you've concealed yourself within a fairly operatic setting: the tale of an immortal teenage cyborg employed by a secretive and futuristic Company, sent on missions in our far...
I've been hearing about the Company novels for years. When this got nominated for the Beyond Reality reading group, I finally got around to reading it.It's a really good book. The story centers around member of the Company, people who have been transformed into cyborgs who help gather information a...
