Summary

A Hunger for the Infinite, which first appeared in Robert Silverberg's Far Horizons anthology, is a novella that takes place in the universe of "The Galactic Center Saga", detailing a galactic war between mechanical and biological life. Here, the pilots had made it to True Center in order to destroy something, anything, important to the Mechs, but Paris had something else on his mind. A story of the Mantis, and the decline of humans beginning in 3600 AD.

An unexpected pleasure

This was a freebie that caught my attention and so I grabbed it. The narration is excellent, the short story visceral and enjoyable. It treads no new ground but is a pleasurable listen that pulled me into its universe and took me out of my own for an enjoyable period. I wish the rest of the Mech series was available on here now as I would listen to them all.
