The Mercy of Gods

James S.A. Corey

Recommended by 1 person on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 7d is days, 4yr is years.

Daniel W. Drezner loved it
I read the first book, The Mercy of Gods, way back in March and enjoyed it immensely. I say this even though it was intense book, beginning with a plot about the politics of science labs and ending somewhere rather different and dark — about the politics of survival under occupation and captivity.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
