About this listen

“Narrators Caitlin Davies and Daniel Thomas May reprise their roles, and between them, they’ve once more captured the essence behind the voices of multiple characters, and even more impressively, this time there are non-humans thrown into the mix.” — Bibliosanctum

Sue Burke's sweeping, award-finalist, SF Semiosis epic continues in Interference as the colonists and a team from Earth confront a new and more implacable intelligence.

Over two hundred years after the first colonists landed on Pax, a new set of explorers arrives from Earth on what they claim is a temporary scientific mission.

But the Earthlings misunderstand the nature of the Pax settlement and its real leader. Even as Stevland attempts to protect his human tools, a more insidious enemy than the Earthlings makes itself known.

Stevland is not the apex species on Pax.

Really hoping the series continues. Struggled with some of the voices at the start but the story overcame any worries.

Difficult to follow up such a stunning first novel, this keeps the world but moves in centuries and introduces a off world source of disruption, and its in the off world characters and back story that I found less smooth and engaging. Where as the world of Pax, its characters and ecology was beautifully described and designed. Overall an excellent story and very well read.

Not quite as good as original but still an excellent story

A great sequel to Sembosis, lots of new characters, both humans, from Earth, and unexpected, unheard of inhabitants of Pax. Conflicts stem among all of them, division spreads until a common enemy, secretly interfering, is finally properly assessed and dealt with. Each of the characters discovers incredible, new possibilities and instruments, from the comm network for Pax people, to the amazing abilities of the rainbow bamboo for earthlings. By the end of the novel, Pax world is inevitably, once again different, but, as earthlings travel back to Earth bringing news and specimens from Pax, Earth is soon going to be radically changed by Pax. The many different points of view, though mostly from the same period this time, make the audiobook sometimes hard to follow.

A great sequel to Semiosis

Seems to meander compared to the first book, but would fit as a trilogy.

Good but not as good as the first

a worthy follow up that expands on the themes of the first book. Would love to read more in this series!

An excellent sequel

Taking the tale of Stevland further and introducing unpleasant earthlings on to Pax makes this a very worthy sequel and hopefully leaves it open to a third book which I for one would dearly love to hear, outstanding narration

Enjoyed this book (and Semiosis) but have to say it dragged a little bit in some places, some ideas weren't explored fully, and sometimes the story just felt a bit 'thin'. The narration was ok but not sure why they changed narrator for certain characters. Still, if the concept appeals and you enjoyed Semiosis (the style is very similar as you'd expect) then this will probably be a fun listen.

Fun story, sometimes feels lacking in substance

I'm really not sure who decided to ruin this reading with Caitlin Davies- you start to not trust and mistrust parts of the story expecting more because she makes it sounds like a judgemental mid Western mom who hasn't seen enough of the world is judging the characters rather actions instead of narrating the book.
thanks to the other narrators for making this book listenable.

it's a shame as its a good sci-fi, well constructed universe and/but simple reading. great for me to listen to whilst doing a project but I'm going back for some Arthur C for immersion and compelling wrighting.

I'd take the book on holiday. but if you haven't already bought this don't and read it instead for an easy read and immersive universe.

id take the paperback on holiday but not audible

Why read a book with continuous breathy angst ? Meaningless with respect to the unfolding story. A dramatic childish manner much used by any precocious 11 year old girl desperate to put meaning into that she is reading but doesn't understand.

Dick Barton ghastly daughter reads again !

Couldn’t get into it, monotonous dialogue. Gave up in the end and will try and return

Gave up, dreary and didn’t capture my interest
