Felix J. Palma
The New York Times best-selling author of The Map of Time returns with a mesmerizing novel casting H.G. Wells in a leading role, as the extraterrestrial invasion featured in The War of the Worlds is turned into a bizarre reality.
A love story serves as backdrop for The Map of the Sky when New York socialite Emma Harlow agrees to marry millionaire Montgomery Gilmore, but only if he accepts her audacious challenge: to reproduce the extraterrestrial invasion featured in Wells's War of the Worlds. What follows are three brilliantly interconnected plots to create a breathtaking tale of time travel and mystery, replete with cameos by a young Edgar Allan Poe, and Captain Shackleton and Charles Winslow from The Map of Time.
Praised for "lyrical storytelling and a rich attention to detail" (Library Journal, starred review), Palma again achieves the high standard set by The Map of Time.

What made the experience of listening to The Map of the Sky the most enjoyable?
This story artfully weaves at least three classic favorites together into a delicious new perspective of 19th century future imaginings. The journey back to an earlier era was surprisingly both simulating and refreshing in contrast to some of the pessimistic and more jaded current imaginings that are being mass-produced on the post-cyber-punk assembly line of today. Delightful read! The narrator was excellent as well.Stimulating sci-fi favorite medly

If this book becomes the next "in" thing I'll be able to say I read it, but you won't find me looking for other offerings from this author. In truth, based on the description and the reviews on the website, I was disappointed.
Endurance test for an okay ending

Where does The Map of the Sky rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
While not my favorite story, I know The Map of the Sky is among the most memorable. The Map of Time was a light-hearted frolic compared to this dark story. Felix J. Palma weaves a horrifying "What if" tale, and James Langton's narration is spot on.What about James Langton’s performance did you like?
Jame's Langton's voice never distracts from the character whose words he is reciting.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The Map of the Sky left me feeling as though I need another "The Map of'" book.Scary story

Would you listen to The Map of the Sky again? Why?
I read ALL my audio and Kindle books over again - simply to catch nuances I may have missed the first time throughHave you listened to any of James Langton’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is the first time I have read this author. I put him on my 3rd tier of preferred authors.Any additional comments?
Almost any book is worth reading. This includes "The map of the sky" which I would rate as worthy but not by any means exciting and stimulating.A good read, but not spellbinding.
