Diario di Proxima 3: Nella luce: Fantascienza dura (I Diari di Proxima)
L'equipaggio dell'astronave "Dracht Maestosa" raggiunge un sistema stellare il cui unico pianeta è bombardato dal sole con radiazioni mortali. Proprio qui accade qualcosa che non dovrebbe mai accadere e l'equipaggio vede la sua unica salvezza nell'atterraggio sul misterioso pianeta che orbita intorno alla stella ostile.
I diari di Proxima sono una serie in più parti basata sulla trilogia di Proxima, ma possono essere letti anche indipendentemente da essa. L'astronave Enterprise incontra Lost in Space, con il realismo scientifico e tecnico della fantascienza dura.

An infection leads to a desperate plan.....
Eve has a growth on her arm while she is in suspended animation. Marchenko decides that he wants to release her to treat her, but the Omniscience is having none of it. Instead Marchenko decides that he must take Eve and land on a planet around Sirius so that he can try and treat her, with Francesca as company.
The planet is fairly barren but they find that UV radiation can cause the infection to retreat. After several days of exposure the growth has gone, but they are concerned that without persistent exposure it may return. On the planet's surface are massive cracks within which there is a possibility of life. They therefore decide to explore but the sudden weather systems can wreak havoc...
Another interesting tale about a potential life and its forms on another planet in the continuing search for more Adam and Eves...

Another fun entry in the Proxima Logfiles adventure series.
It seems like this one tried to be more Eve-focused to make up for her lack of participation in the previous two adventures. It unfortunately had to go through a few contrivances in order to make it happen.
The author described how for this series he has a very unplanned freeflowing writing style, which does work for an ongoing adventure series, for the most part. However, it would've been nice if it didn't cause as many contradictions and straight up plot holes with previous entries.
Still enjoying the series, looking forward to reading more.

Good read
Very interesting story. The plot has taken a turn that I hadn't expected. I enjoy the information about our solar system and its entities at the end of each volume.

Cuando a Eva le sale un sarpullido mientras está en la cámara de hibernación, la IA Marchenko debe tomar la decisión de sacarla de la nave extraterrestre Magestic Draght y llevarla a un planeta, en las cercanías de Sírius, que es hostil a la vida.
Viajar por el universo no es fácil. Hay que tener en cuenta el tiempo necesario para recorrer distancias casi infinitas. Hacerte con una fuente inagotable de combustible ( no vamos a encontrar gasolineras por esos lares). Conocer idiomas por si nos encontramos con alguna especie inteligente ( claro que no sabemos que sistema de comunicación utilizan).... En fin que lo mejor es no llevar maletas sino un mínimo de herramientas y un mucho de ingenio, al más puro estilo MacGyver, para resolver cualquier eventualidad.
Y eso es lo que Brandon utiliza para llevarnos más allá de nuestra parcela conocida del universo, a años luz de distancia. Recoge los pocos conocimientos que la astronomía y la física tiene de un punto en el universo y se pregunta: ¿ Qué pasaría si....?
Su respuesta es una serie de novelas de Hard Sci-fi sin grandes dramas, asumiendo todo lo que puede fallar y aplicando las soluciones más sencillas. La heroicidad de los personajes está en sobrevivir un día más en un entorno empeñado en que hoy sea el último.
Hacia la luz es el tercer libro de la trilogía Archivos de Próxima. Y aunque puede leerse independiente, yo decidí apuntarme a esta odisea espacial con el libro Encelado. Brandon no abandona a sus personajes y en el recorrido de sus novelas les hace crecer y evolucionar. No podríamos entender completamente a la IA Marchenko si no conocemos su origen en esa luna helada que es Encelado.
Os animo a subiros a la nave espacial y explorar un universo lleno de aventuras
