Interesante cambio de registro de Jaime Blanch, adentrándose en el siempre complicado escenario de los viajes en el tiempo. “Entre la neblina del tiempo” es una novela muy entretenida y dinámica, gracias al recurso “día de la marmota” que vive el protagonista. Tiene acción, suspense y un toque romántico que, aunque mejorable, se agradece en una trama en la que no descubrirás todas las claves hasta llegar al final.
En resumen, una novela que leerás en un suspiro y que espero que sea la antesala a nuevos trabajos de este excelente autor de ciencia ficción y fantasía.

La última novela de Jaime Blanch supone un cambio de registro para el autor castellonense, que pasa de la fantasía a la ciencia ficción con un entretenido relato de viajes temporales en el que nada es lo que parece. Descubre la historia de Adam Reynolds y cómo es el único capaz de salvar a la ciudad espacial de Verne de la destrucción. Muy recomendable.

Me parecen super interesantes las historias de viajes en el tiempo, así que decidí leer esta historia que además se sitúa en un futuro espacial. Al principio me costó engancharme a la trama, pero tengo que decir que enseguida cogí carrerilla y tenía unas ganas enormes de saber cómo Adam iba a poder solucionar el embrollo. Un "día de la marmota" entretenido y casi siempre productivo. Una historia original e interesante, muy recomendada si te gusta este estilo.

Me gustó lo entretenida, ligera, prosa fluida y concisa, te atrapa.
Me estorbaron los clichés y lo predecible.

Me ha mantenido entretenido de principio a fin. Hacia la mitad se me hizo un poco pesado, pero luego los acontecimientos se precipitan y agarra vuelo otra vez.

Ladies and gentlemen my intention was to post two reviews but, I haven't had time because I've been too busy on @youtube . One of my last reviews was "The Time Star" (it was the last review to be posted on Goodreads). I had agreed to read some of his books and Jaime Blanch sent me two books, which I could not download at that time through the Epub. So I asked him to send them to me in another format such as PDF, for example. Said and done, this book was sent to me on a Monday and I spent the whole week reading it.



It's a classic science fiction story. It seems to me more solid, more curdled and deeper than "The Time Star", but "The Time Star" has a more regular rhythm. This is the story of Adam Reynolds, a cognitively deficient boy born on Mars, but who resides in Verne, a city on Titan. There is like a conflict, the Earth has become a super empire as if it were a novel by Isaac Asimov, or by my beloved Poul Anderson. In Spain, an anthology was published selected by the Englishman Brian W. Aldiss and commented by Carlo Frabetti that collected stories about Galactic Empires written by science fiction authors. It sounds to me that I outline a brief comment in @goodreads in case you want to look (with some rather debatable comments). There is a great deal of tension between the Earth and its colonies. The same happened between England and the thirteen American colonies, which achieved their independence with Spanish-French collaboration, as the Hispanists point out.



This novel has reminded me of several movies I've seen, Boss Level, Edge of Tomorrow based on the novel All You Need Is KillHiroshi Sakurazaka , and one of my favorites Source code directed by the son of the late David Bowie David Bowie , which he also directed https://www.goodreads.com/genres/worl... . They all have one thing in common: a time loop and a hero who has to avoid something and, every time he fails, he returns to the starting point. In my opinion, the one with which this novel has the most in common is with Código Fuente where a soldier who has been reduced to porridge and, terribly mutilated, must avoid a terrorist attack. Jaime Blanch adds something of interest to this story. It has a time limit just like the time travel in the "The Time Star". Each time is getting shorter and less time to avoid catastrophe every day because with each charge he loses a few more minutes of time. It does not have infinite burdens as could happen in "Edge of Tomorrow" the war video game that allows Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt to shine or the nice hooliganism of a dysfunctional father played by Frank Grillo who must save his wife Naomi Watts from the always charismatic, undervalued and underused Mel Gibson. The first chapter is exciting, entering a summit, the protagonist like an elephant in a china shop ends up killing everything that moves.

Adam Reynolds is a cognitive disability. A Mars boy from Technoyork (the Martian replica of New York). That unlike his friends you can't implant a chip the same thing he wants to do with us Elon Musk and, Tesla and, this occurred to my friend before Elon Musk , giving it a touch https://www.goodreads.com/genres/cybe... (on this subject I recommend my friend's channel Turbiales Tiempo de Dados ). An attempt was made to read "Neuromancer" by William Gibson of this genre and was unsuccessful. In the same vein would be the French science fiction writer Maurice G. Dantec and, if we move towards topics such as transhumanism and the search for immortality, I recommend "You Will Be Like Gods" by Gustave Thibon. Adam Reynolds, unlike his friends "the subversive element" Martinez (Matthew), Yamid (who models the glass), Felipe, Lisa, Alana (essential to the plot) does not exchange emotions. There is a criticism of this in the date he has with a co-worker named Ling Saunders where Jaime criticizes that people live outside of reality and, pending social networks like Cronos as in " ORA:CLE " by Kevin O'Donnell Jr. and, "Crash by J. G. Ballard" by J.G. Ballard . Adam Reynolds' big problem in adapting to that world (23rd century) is that he goes very slowly. This generates conflicts and, many times, Mateo has to take it out or put it in others. This will lead them to have altercations with the security guards such as Victoria Keita and, her partner the famous John Freddy Rojas, who like Death Race is a charioteer, or race car driver the great pastime of the planetary colonies of the XXIII century so he is an idol. However, Adam has a passion to decipher the equations of a book called in a metaliterature exercise by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra or, by Jorge Luis Borges "The Mist of Time" written by a scientist who, like Ryland Grace of the novel Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir was rejected by his contemporaries and, which had a tragic end as he was officially considered to have placed a bomb in a building and would have died in that attack. So she has a reputation for being crazy, sociopathic, or anarchist.

So there is a fear on the part of the protagonist's friends (justified) that he does not like normal things and that he may end up like the scientist he admires so much. Until more or less he manages to decipher the equations and making Thara Sherman's invention becomes slow and tedious. It's the only fault I can put in Jaime's novel. But it is very important in my opinion to pay attention to this part of the book because there is the key to the plot. Hildegard Steiner's tensions with the Earth, brilliant discoveries such as technoworms, people with the brain chip who die suspiciously. Once Adam Reynolds can relive his future over and over again like groundhog day. We are facing a class of books that I like very much and that is very attractive. Choose your own adventure. As the protagonist, like the characters played by Tom Cruise, Frank Grillo, and Jake Gyllenhall, undergoes several iterations, it would be very difficult for the protagonist to have solved everything the first time. I really like the relationship that the protagonist has with several characters such as the Linux AI, which is shaped like a girl. So different from Jorge Sáez Criado, the novel by Philip K. Dick, not the film. The Christians who are called crusaders continue to exist and are represented by a character who seems very sullen, but then is not. The Evolution of Christians reminds me of the novels of Jerry Pournelle .

One of Adam's problems is relating to girls (apart from his inability he is shy). As in Japan, regulated appointments are arranged that cannot be refused. There is no neo-Malthusian Thomas Malthus policy like the one we have now, and marriages and having children are prioritized. Precisely one of the charms of the novel is romance. However, the character that I liked the most without a doubt and that is the key to everything is John Freddy Roja (the fate of this character is key to the development of the plot). The protagonist during the novel is not believed by his friends, and those who end up believing him take a long time to do so since he must gain their trust (only one believes him at first due to his almost scholastic, or deductive, method of reasoning). Sometimes especially at the beginning he will have to kill several characters, especially at the beginning of the novel. But how in a video game how are they going to survive again in the next iteration nothing happens. But just like in the novel "Jacob's ladder" by my friend Professor Manuel Alfonseca the characters suffer and have feelings and, little by little, Adam Reynolds will realize that, so he will resist killing lightly. Not only because Adam Reynolds has a deep-rooted concept of good and evil, but because it happened to me. When I was young and I played role-playing, my character was sadistic, I was more focused on causing as much damage as possible to enemies and, at that time, I didn't care that my character was a psychopath, but as you mature you give more importance to other things and you value the importance of life, and you think more about others, becoming more empathetic with them. That's why I like Adam's evolution (his conscience problems and his moral dilemmas. Which in the end is what I value most in a novel) during the novel you can see how he strengthens ties with characters with whom he would never have related at first.

I like that the author regrets, despite the predilection for the science fiction genre he has introduced several genres such as detective fiction. Jaime told me that he hadn't read much detective novels except Agatha Christie. I hope that the contact with me will allow you to meet and become familiar with other writers of detective novels such as G.K. Chesterton (to name one). I don't think I'll ever forget his fictional detective Patrick Plum. John Freddy Rojas reminds me a lot of Dekisughi, Nobita's beneficent antagonist in Doraemon https://www.goodreads.com/genres/dora... and, I like that he has such a brilliant detection method and that he is the key to solving this wonderfully well-carried plot with a masterful hand by Jaime Blanch. She managed to emulate Agatha Christie. The penultimate iteration seemed especially creepy to me, but I think that except for that interim of the beginning and, some bad-sounding words (I'm very picky about that matter. Regarding bad-sounding words). In any case, Jaime does not have to worry. I'm not going to cut off her leg like the disturbed fan of [[book:Misery|10614]" by Stephen King. The novel and the conclusion are very good. My final grade is (5/5). I must confess that so far and, this review is posted in November this has been the science fiction novel that I liked the most and it is surely in my top ten of best fiction novels I read in the year 2024 PS. Find out who the criminal 🙂was. PD II. Jaime told me what was the origin and how he came up with this novel and it reminded me of a scientist Otto Loewi who discovered the chemical impulse of the optic nerve in the same way that this novel arose in his mind. The poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge (who appeared in " Samuel Taylor ColeridgeThe Anubis Gates " by Tim Powers) had the same thing happen to him. He tried to recreate a poem, but it didn't turn out as well as he had forged it. P.S. III. Don't miss the science fiction discussion that Professor Manuel Alfonseca, Jaime Blanch and a humble servant on the channel of Tío Alberto in Youtube Sin Vergüenza 2.0 have had.

Muy fluido y entretenido. Una historia de viajes en el tiempo peculiar y a la vez clasica como parece que el destinies resisted answer cambiado. Spoiler es el dia de la marmota pero con un toque futurista y toques de triller sin perder esa esencia de repetir el mismo dia una y otra vez
