Axis by Robert Charles Wilson Book Summary
Wildly praised by readers and critics alike, Robert Charles Wilson's Spin won science fiction's highest honor, the Hugo Award for Best Novel.
Now, in Axis, Spin's direct sequel, Wilson takes us to the "world next door"—the planet engineered by the mysterious Hypotheticals to support human life, and connected to Earth by way of the Arch that towers hundreds of miles over the Indian Ocean. Humans are colonizing this new world—and, predictably, fiercely exploiting its resources, chiefly large deposits of oil in the western deserts of the continent of Equatoria.
Lise Adams is a young woman attempting to uncover the mystery of her father's disappearance ten years earlier. Turk Findley is an ex-sailor and sometimes-drifter. They come together when an infall of cometary dust seeds the planet with tiny remnant Hypothetical machines. Soon, this seemingly hospitable world will become very alien indeed—as the nature of time is once again twisted, by entities unknown.

a disappointing sequel to the awesome Spin.. while Axis is entertaining and a fun read, it falls short as a sequel of Spin.
Good continuation. Good continuation of Spin, but lacks the dramatic uncertainty from the first book. Entertaining read.
Really good. This is one of the best series I have come across.
Disappointing read. The first book “Spin” was enthralling. This second book was not worth spending time reading. I could barely finish it. The characters in the first book were well developed and interesting. . . not so, the sequel. I cannot believe the same author wrote these two books!
Axis. Good story. Full of promise as a sequel to Spin, but lacking (I think) in execution. I enjoyed Spin MUCH more. Here’s hoping Vortex will be better.
Still good!. Not as good as Spin, but it is still a great book to read.
Still Spinning. It's no "Spin," for sure, but it is still a solid work, with some nice surprises. His prose alone is worth the read; he can string some great words together. Looking forward to the end of the trilogy.
Disappointing. This book was disappointing for me, slow, and filled with uninteresting or thin characters. A lackluster and unsatisfactory ending sapped any wonder I felt about the fantastical subjects explored in the book. Ultimately, in science fiction, the best stories are about humanity, people and their relationships. While this book has a lot of explorations of people and relationships, I never cared about any of them. The author could have killed off any one of them during any part of the book, and it would not have mattered at all, either to the story, or to the reader. The Spin (the first book in this series) is driven by explorations of family relationships, and Tyler's life long yearning for Diane, peppered with armageddon, magnificent creatures and mind boggling spans of time. This book loses the tension and the mystery of the first. For the most part in this book, rather than being grand, the Hypotheticals are just annoying and arbitrarily destructive. It basically reads like a boring disaster movie, and that is what disappoints the most. Mysteries of the cosmos explored in The Spin are replaced with a detailed description of the lives of a handful of selfish, uninteresting characters.
