Inspiration for improvisers

Master Maiden Voyage – Bobby Hutcherson’s Perfect Solo

Maiden Voyage is a classic jazz standard that all improvisers will encounter at some point in their musical journey. With only four chords, beginners tend to gravitate toward this Herbie Hancock masterpiece because it seems like it would be an “easy” jazz tune…

While it’s true that there are only four chords and that the form is relatively simple to navigate, calling this a beginner jazz tune is quite a leap.

Like Modal Jazz , the jazz legends did not encounter this tune until after dealing with the fundamental challenges of jazz…

At this point (1965) , they already had a firm grasp on:

• How functional harmony works
• The Jazz Language
• The Jazz Standard Repertoire

So to call it an easy tune or a beginner jazz standard is not really true and to understand both the chords and how to solo over them in a coherent way takes a bit of study.

But not to worry…

Today we’re going to give you all the tools you need to understand, hear, and play Maiden Voyage like a pro.

We’ll start out by getting into the chord progression and the form. Then we’ll do a little deep-dive into Sus chords. After that, we’ll take a look at the voicings Herbie Hancock uses on these Sus chords along with the rhythm.

And then, after laying the groundwork for the tune, we’ll deconstruct Bobby Hutcherson’s perfect solo on Maiden Voyage , detailing a bunch of soloing tactics that you can start using today.

We have a lot to cover, so let’s get into it…

Maiden Voyage: Chord Changes & Form

The Form of Maiden Voyage is very simple…

For its 32 bars, It uses the most common form in jazz, AABA , and it only has four chords – the A Section has two chords and the B Section has two chords.

But, contrary to popular belief and The Real Book , these chords are not all the same…

Listen to this incredible version of Herbie Hancock playing Maiden Voyage with Bobby Hutcherson and keep in mind there is an intro before the AABA from starts…

Three of the four chords are Sus chords , while if you listen closely to the second chord in the Bridge, you should hear that it’s actually a minor chord (You can of course think of Db minor or C# minor. The later is my preference).

Now, Sus chords have a unique sound and they are what give this tune a wide open sound.

But what exactly is a Sus chord?

What is a Sus Chord?

The term Sus is actually an abbreviation …

So if you see the symbol D7 Sus , what this actually means is a D dominant 7th chord with a suspended fourth because “Sus” is short for “suspended”.

Yes, you can suspend other chord-tones like the 2nd/9th, but in general, in jazz, D7 Sus refers to the 4th being suspended unless otherwise notated…

And the easiest way to understand what this idea of suspension means is to look at the voice leading of a ii V.

In a standard ii V7 from Major Harmony, when moving from ii to V7 the 7th of the ii chord moves down chromatically to the 3rd of the V7 chord, the note G moves to F#.

But with a Sus chord, the 7th of the minor chord (G) does not move down to the 3rd (F#), it instead remains on the same pitch.

So, the 4th ends up in a suspended state, NOT resolving to the 3rd, which is why it’s called a Sus Chord , short for suspended 4th chord .

Next we’ll talk a little bit about the consonant notes on a Sus chord…

So what do you play over a sus chord?

Understanding the theory behind why a Sus chord is called Sus is great and all, but what do you actually play over them?

If we look at a normal V7 chord compared to a Sus chord, it would seem as though the 3rd on a Sus chord would be an “avoid note” because it’s not present within the basic chord and it’s replaced with the suspended 4th…

Above, I’ve shown you the chords all the way up to the 13th, and I’ve reordered the notes into a linear structure, a scale , next to them so you can very easily see what’s going on…

But treating the 3rd as an avoid note is actually not the right thing to do…

In reality, because there is no 3rd in the chord, BOTH a minor and major third are consonant possibilities.

Sus chords don’t close harmony or melody, they open them

So playing over Sus chords, you can treat them just like a normal V7 chord, with a couple more options…

• The 4th will sound consonant because there is no 3rd for it to clash with
• Both the major 3rd and minor 3rd can sound consonant in your lines

These extra options on a Sus chord give you more possibilities when you solo over them. You don’t have to worry about the sound of the 4th clashing with the major 3rd, and the minor 3rd will sound good as well.

Next, let’s look at how to voice the Sus chords at the piano using triads…

Piano Voicings on Sus Chords

Rather than just playing a chord in stacked 3rds and replacing the major 3rd of the chord with the Sus 4, jazz musicians voice the chords – they choose which notes from the chord they want to play, and arrange them in a specific order to create the particular character they desire for the chord.

And a great way to understand how Sus chords are often voiced is to first realize how they are sometimes notated…

Instead of D7 Sus , sometimes a Sus chord will be notated as a specific minor chord over a root note…

This notation uses the related ii minor chord over the root of the V7 chord, and by related I mean the ii chord that would pair with the dominant chord if it were a ii V progression.

So an alternate notation for D7 Sus that you might occasionally see will be A minor (the ii chord) over D (the root of the V7 chord)…

So that is one very effective way to voice Sus chords, by using the ii minor chord (A minor) over the V7 root (D).

Now, if you closely look at the structure of A minor, you should notice that a C major triad sits right inside of it.

In relation to D7, this is a major triad built from the dominant 7th and it gives you the b7-9-11 of the dominant chord, and that 11th is really the Sus4 in the chord.

And this is another very common way to voice Sus chords…

You take that b7 triad (C major triad) and put it over the root (D) of the Sus chord in any inversion, and then double the lowest pitch of the triad inversion (keep in mind that the lowest note, G in this case, could easily be played as an A to use the ii over V7 root idea instead).

And these are the type of Herbie Hancock piano voicings in Maiden Voyage . Although he may modify or switch up the exact notes, these are the general concepts used – Either use the ii minor (A minor) over the V7 root and 5th (D and A), or use the triad embedded within that minor chord (C major triad).

In the A Section you can use this type of voicing for both the D7 Sus and the F7 Sus.

Notice how the inversion of the triad changes to suit the voice leading needs, but that it’s still just the b7 major triad over the root of the chord.

Then, in the B Section, you can voice the Eb7 Sus using the same tactic.

Now let’s talk about the comping rhythm in Maiden Voyage and how to learn to hear it…

Hearing The Rhythm

Hearing the comping rhythm in Maiden Voyage is not easy…

In fact, I can remember it tripping me up a ton when I was younger and looking back on it, I wish someone had showed me the rhythm and walked me through an easy way to hear it.

So let’s do that for you…

Here is the comping rhythm written out and repeated several times so you can hear it clearly…

Now, if you remove the ties and then sing along with it a bunch of times, you’ll start to internalize how Herbie has put this rhythm together.

Once you study the rhythm with no ties in it, add the ties back in and sing along with it, but keep hearing the untied version in your head. So listen to the real version below with this in mind…

Repeat this process many times and soon this rhythm will make a lot more sense to you and will be easy to follow.

Bobby Hutcherson’s Solo on Maiden Voyage

Alright, you know the form of the tune, and you have a grasp on the chord changes and Sus chords…

We’ll now look at what master vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson plays on these changes.

Here is a transcription of his solo on Maiden Voyage and it’s a masterpiece.

Not a wasted note…his phrasing and lyricism come though beautifully, as he effortlessly navigates the changes.

Now playing a solo like Bobby takes a lifetime of study, but there are a ton of things that we can learn from his solo…

Bobby Hutcherson’s Soloing Tactics

There are many soloing tactics that you might take from Bobby Hutcherson’s solo on Maiden Voyage , but we’ll highlight some of the easiest ones to adopt into your playing fast.

1. Create cells that emphasize the Sus sound

Have a listen to the very first line of Bobby’s solo…

He plays just perfectly here and really highlights the Sus sound. So how might we take this technique?

First, we’re going to create a structure that emphasize the sus note, the 4th by isolating a few of the consonant notes. We’ll take the root, the 4th, the 6th, and the dominant 7th…

And as you can see, if we rearrange these starting from the Sus note, G, this can be thought of as a 4 note cell or scale from the Sus note (G) which from that note would be 1-3-4-5 .

Once we create the 4 note cell, then we’ll add the root on top of it…and then move up and down it – you can now see how the result is a condensed version of the entire phrase that Hutcherson plays…

Often beginners try to use a whole scale when so much more can be found in smaller structures

A cell, or if you’d rather think of it as a 4 note scale, like this can be a powerful melodic tool over Sus chords.

Try using this cell, the 1-3-4-5 from the Sus note like Bobby does, or coming up with your own.

2. Use intervals of a 4th and highlight the 4th chord-tone

Take a listen to this line that Bobby Hutcherson plays over F7 Sus…

Notice that he’s essentially treating the chord as a standard dominant chord but doing two things in addition that he might not do on a regular dominant chord…

First, he starts out the line with intervals of a fourth …

And second, he emphasizes the 4th (same as the 11th) chord-tone (the suspended 4th) in his line…

These are two soloing tactics over Sus chords that you want to steal – adding the intervals of a fourth helps give you that wide open sound in your lines, while emphasizing the 4th highlights the Sus chord color.

Try to start using these right away, as they’re quite easy to add into your playing.

3. Learn to Use Both Major & Minor 3rds

Most people tend to treat a Sus chord like a dominant chord because it actually is a variation of a dominant chord, however, don’t forget that in a modal context that uses Sus chords, the minor 3rd is also available to you.

Most players do not use this too often, but of course, Bobby Hutcherson makes use of it.

Take a listen to this line and try to hear how he treats the first part of the line differently than the later…

In the first part, he uses the minor 3rd, F, treating the chord as a D minor 13 chord, and then in the second part of the line, he uses the major 3rd, F#, treating like a dominant chord (with the addition of emphasizing the 4th).

It’s not easy to use the minor 3rd because it’s more difficult for most people to hear. Take a listen to this as I play a Sus chord with a phrase that focuses on the minor 3rd…

Now listen to he same phrase with a major 3rd…

Surprisingly, they both work, even though the use of the minor 3rd can sound a little less natural…

Experiment with using both and learn to hear both in the context of your lines. Gradually, you’ll remember that you have both of these sounds available to you over Sus chords.

4. Use 1235 cells in interesting ways

The 1235 cell is a classic structure that John Coltrane loves to use, especially on tunes like Giant Steps .

But this powerful little unit can also be great for crafting interesting melodic motifs, as well.

Listen to this line in Bobby’s solo and try to hear how he’s using a 1235 cell, although you probably won’t get it at first because it’s out of order…

Okay, let me explain a way that can give you some insight into this line…

First, let’s take 1235 of Eb and write out the 1235 unit starting from each of the notes…

And then next, we’ll change the order, so 1235 will become 3521, and we’ll apply this same transformation to the other groups, and we get this…

If you look closely, you can see that the highlighted group forms the foundation for Bobby’s little motif – It’s a 5132 cell that he then takes and develops.

Obviously he’s not doing this math in his head and you could never improvise while thinking about things like this.

But, he’s researched and practiced the various 1235 groupings that he likes, learned to hear them, and then he’s taken them into his own playing.

You can do this too! Simply take any grouping that catches your ear and start using it. It’s that easy.

5. Nail the Minor Chord

So if you’ve played Maiden Voyage out of The Real Book before, then you probably think that every chord in the tune is a Sus chord because that’s how The Real Book and many other charts notate every chord…

But the second chord on the Bridge, as we’ve talked about before, is not a Sus chord. It’s actually minor . If you listen, you can hear the minor quality.

And if you look at any famous solo over this chord, they all treat the chord as minor and not dominant (Remember, a Sus chord is type of dominant chord).

You can see here that Bobby emphasizes a C# minor triad and other minor language…

Now, over this chord in this particular setting, the natural 13th is an especially beautiful note. Just have another listen to Bobby’s line here and you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.

When it comes to this chord, make sure you don’t fall into the trap of thinking it’s a Sus chord. Most charts get this wrong, so make sure you nail the minor quality.

6. Use your voicing knowledge to utilize key arpeggios

If we go back a bit to when we talked about how a Sus chord is sometimes notated and how Herbie Hancock voices them, this will give you some insight into why certain arpeggios are so effective over Sus chords…

Do you remember that sometimes a Sus chord is notated as the related ii minor chord, over the root? And do you remember how Herbie used the triad from the b7 in his voicings?

So knowing this, it makes sense that the two most common arpeggios to use are based upon the related ii minor and the major structure from b7 .

Over D7 Sus, this would be A minor and C major , and over F7 Sus, we could use C minor and Eb major .

And if we look at Bobby’s line here, it’s no surprise what arpeggios we find….

You can think of these as 3-5-7-9 of A minor, or 1-3-5-7 of C major. In both cases, they’re based upon the structures we talked about.

So, spend some time and visualize through these relationships so you can easily conjure up the related ii minor and the major chord from the b7 without any effort.

Maiden Voyage is Easy?

Personally, I think it’s a bit crazy that in jazz education today, Maiden Voyage has become a beginner jazz tune…

There’s so much to know to play over it. You have to:

• Understand what Sus chords are, how they’re constructed and what to play over them
• Understand the comping rhythm and be able to hear it
• Understand how to create melodic lines over non-traditional harmony

And these are just a few of the challenges that this Herbie Hancock classic presents us with! It’s by no means an easy tune, but with everything we went over today, you should be well on your way to tackling it like a pro.

When you go back through this lesson, make sure you…

• Study Sus chords – Work on the piano voicings and practice playing them. Learn to hear what a Sus chord sounds like with zero effort.
• Learn to use cells – Bobby Hutcherson uses cells in a unique way to create his melodies. Go back and really seek to understand how he’s using them in his solo.
• Make use of 4th intervals & the Sus 4 note – Intervals of a 4th and using the Sus 4 chord-tone add a lot to playing over Sus chords.
• Learn to hear minor 3rds on Sus – The minor 3rd is tricky to hear over Sus chords, but if you work on it, you’ll be able to add it to your color palette as an improviser.
• Nail the minor chord – Remember that the second chord of the Bridge is not a Sus chord, despite what many charts say. Make sure to highlight the different quality of this chord in your solos.
• Use your voicing knowledge – The more you know about how a chord is constructed, the better understanding you’ll have to play over it. Take your voicing knowledge and use it when you improvise.

Maiden Voyage has become a jazz standard for several reasons…it’s catchy, different, and a lot of fun to play!

Take the concepts, lines, and ideas we explored today and see how you can apply them in your own creative way, and in time, Maiden Voyage is bound to become one of your favorite tunes.

Maiden Voyage Chords – Modal Comping Study

M aiden Voyage is is a classic modal jazz tune written and made famous by pianist Herbie Hancock. With a cool groove, hip slash chords, and a memorable melody, this tune has become a jazz jam session essential since first being released.

While Maiden Voyage is a commonly called tune, it can often handcuff guitarists who try and superimpose traditional chords over these modern chord changes. Because of this, many guitarists sound out of place when comping and chord soloing over this Hancock classic.

To help you avoid this type of situation, this lesson teaches you how to use cool-sounding, modern chords that are easy to play and perfectly outline the Dorian sound.

You’ll also learn how to add chromatic concepts to these three-note chords, taking these shapes even further in your comping phrases.

Check these concepts out in the practice room, then when you’re ready, tackle the chord study presented at the end of the lesson. This material will guarantee that you’ll be able to comp over this, and other, modern jazz tunes at your next session with confidence.

Dorian Chords

To begin your study of Maiden Voyage chords, you’ll learn how to build chords out of the Dorian scale , the scale used to outline every chord in this tune.

Rather than use traditional chords such as drop 2 or drop 3 chord voicings , you’ll learn how to build three-note chords out of the Dorian scale. This approach allows you to outline the chords changes, and bring a modern, modal sound to your chord work at the same time.

To begin, you’ll review a common Dorian scale fingering on guitar.

If this scale shape is new to you, take a few minutes to learn it and memorize this scale as it’s the foundation for everything else in this lesson.

Now that you have this scale under your fingers, you’ll look at two notes on each string, in particular, those on the 5 th and 7 th frets. You’ll notice that no matter what string you’re on, you’ll always play the 5th and 7th fret on those strings.

Here are those notes highlighted in blue so that you can play through them outside of the scale as a whole.

With those two notes on each string isolated, you can now use those notes to build three-note chords.

When doing so, you will play 4 th chords (654 and 543 strings), major triads (432 strings), and minor triads (321 stings).

This mixture of sounds is the key to this chordal approach, as you outline the Dorian sound, but you aren’t just playing one sound, such as triads or 4th chords. The mix of chords allows these shapes to sound fresh and hip as you climb up the fretboard.

Give them a try before moving on to the chromatic concepts below. They’re easy to play, using only one finger, and sound great on the guitar.

Dorian Approach Chords

Now that you’ve worked on the Dorian chord shapes on their own, you can look at a few ways to spice these shapes up in your playing.

The first concept, approach chords, involves you playing a shape one fret higher or lower than your diatonic chord, before resolving into that diatonic chord.

This creates a sense of tension and release in your playing which can be very helpful when comping over a modal tune like Maiden Voyage.

Here are a few examples to get you started before you take them into your practice routine, and study them in the chord etude below.

Dorian Passing Chords

You can now connect each of the Dorian chords in your comping by adding a passing chord between these two shapes.

Because you’re playing 555-777 on A Dorian, for example, you can add in the 666 chord between them.

This passing chord can connect those two diatonic shapes going up or going down. As long as you play a diatonic chord, then the passing chord, and resolve to the next diatonic chord you’ll be fine.

Here are a few examples to get you started:

Dorian Enclosures

The final chordal approach you’ll use in this lesson is the enclosure concept .

This is when you play a chord one fret higher, then one fret lower than your target chord, before landing on your target chord on the fretboard.

Here is an example of that technique applied to two different A Dorian chords.

You can play with the rhythms using this technique, as with any chord concept in this lesson, as long as you resolve the enclosure before too long. Experiment with enclosed chords in your practice routine and see where you ear guides you when applying them to comping over tunes.

Maiden Voyage Chords – Comping Study

Now that you’ve looked at the chord concepts in this study, you can learn the study as a whole on the guitar.

Start by working each 8-bar section on their own, and then mix them all together when you’re ready. Each section uses a particular concept from the lesson, normal chords, approach chords, passing chords, and enclosures.

You wouldn’t separate these concepts that much in a real-life situation, but for the sake of a comping study it’s a good way to organize your thoughts.

After you’ve worked the study with the audio example, you can put the backing track on and play along with the band. You can either play the comping study exactly as is, or you can use the concepts in this lesson to make up your own chord phrases.

Either way, have fun with this study and enjoy digging into these comping concepts in a musical situation.

Do you use quartal voicings in your comping? Let us know in the comments below…

Wow I can actually PLAY these selections long with the tracks. A little confidence builder, for sure.

Nossa! Brillliant.

Every lesson is so well done and so enjoyable! Thank you and keep em coming!

Thanks so much,it open my mind in new and interesting solutio about Magic Dorian.

Great. Well explain and made simple. This lesson give a clear understanding of modern sounds that often I have heard without understanding How to play them. Tank you

Hey, thanks so much – yet another reason to keep on learning. I’ve always loved that stack of 4ths sound. Cheers & thx for your gems of knowledge

Great Lesson, can’t wait for the weekend to really have fun with this. Thanks!

I always loved _Maiden Voyage_ but never quite understood the theory behind it; now you’ve explained it in a way that is directly applicable to the fretboard – and it no longer seems mysterious and complex. Still sounds great, though!

Your lessons are – although in english (I’m german:( – always a big hit! I’m meanwhile a lazy but sometimes still curious old (Amateur) guitarist but your lessons always give me a kick to practice again and especially they show me what to do in my next live 😉 Thanks so much!

Bravo Cette leçon aborde ce thème très compliqué de manière très simple c’est donc indispensable pour aller plus loin dans l’improvisation jazz moderne Merci

I’m working right now but can’t wait to get to work on this tonight – I really appreciate this lesson. hope there are more like this.

Aww man!!! This is such a great, gate-way drug … uh … I mean ‘lesson’ … into one of my favorite tunes in one of my favorite styles. A fantastic intro for those terminal beginners like myself who are intimidated by music theory — just a lot of easy, index finger barres, and a hip sense of timing. This is going to give me hours of fun, and hopefully lead me to explore other fingerings, approaches, and maybe even (gasp) theory. You’ve provided a comfortable launching pad that I can always return to if I get lost. Much thanks!

Best Russian Crime And Drama Books By Iconic And Emerging Authors

Russia can be a great setting for writing crime fiction, dramas and thrillers: vast isolated territories, cold winters, geopolitical concerns and continuing mob activity have all been the backdrop of many crime novels set in this country.

In this piece, we wanted to introduce you to some lesser-known Russian authors who have truly mastered the craft and through their books and short stories, successfully developed a loyal fan base.

If you’d like an introduction to Russia Noir, these titles are great starting points.

Note: If you’re enjoying this article, we also recommend reading Moscow Noir: The Ultimate Guide To The Swedish Thriller TV Series .

The Winter Queen by Boris Akunin

Fandorin is not satisfied with the conclusion that this is an open-and-shut case, nor with the preliminary detective work the precinct has done—and for good reason: The bizarre and tragic suicide is soon connected to a clear case of murder, witnessed firsthand by Fandorin. There are many unresolved questions.

Why, for instance, have both victims left their fortunes to an orphanage run by the English Lady Astair? And who is the beautiful “A.B.,” whose signed photograph is found in the apparent suicide’s apartment? Relying on his keen intuition, the eager sleuth plunges into an investigation that leads him across Europe, landing him at the deadly center of a terrorist conspiracy of worldwide proportions.

Harlequin’s Costume (Putilin Trilogy) by Leonid Yuzefovich

Leading the investigation into the high-ranking diplomat’s death is Chief Inspector Ivan Putilin, but the Tsar has also called in the notorious Third Department – the much-feared secret police – on the suspicion that the murder is politically motivated. As the clues accumulate, the list of suspects grows longer; there are even rumors of a werewolf at large in the capital.

Suspicion falls on the diplomat’s lover and her cuckolded husband, as well as Russian, Polish and Italian revolutionaries, not to mention Turkish spies. True to his maxim that “coincidence and passion are the real conspirators,” Putilin seeks answers inside the diplomatic circus as well, which leads him to struggles with criminals and with the secret police itself. When the mystery is solved, the only person who saw it coming was Putilin.

St. Petersburg Noir by Julia Goumen (Editor), Natalia Smirnova (Editor), and others.

The origins of St. Petersburg’s rich noir tradition come from the city’s history, urban landscape, and the weather. The freezing winds from the Baltics give rise to hopelessness, despair, and the darkest of humor. The swamps upon which the city was built cloak it in a thick haze that inspires ghostly tales and furtive behaviors.

In St. Petersburg Noir, you’ll find original stories by Lena Eltang, Sergei Nosov, Alexander Kudriavstev, Andrei Kivinov, Julia Belomlinsky, Natalia Kurchatova & Ksenia Venglinskaya, Anton Chizh, Vladimir Berezin, Andrei Rubanov, Vadim Levental, Anna Solovey, Mikhail Lialin, Pavel Krusanov, and Eugene Kogan.

Red Cavalry by Isaac Babel

Using his own experiences as a journalist and propagandist with the Red Army during the war against Poland, Babel brings to life an astonishing cast of characters from the exuberant, violent era of early Soviet history: commissars and colonels, Cossacks and peasants, and among them the bespectacled, Jewish writer/intellectual, observing it all and trying to establish his role in the new Russia.

Turkish Gambit by Boris Akunin

Erast Fandorin returns in another thrilling Russian crime caper, from the bestselling author of THE WINTER QUEEN.

The Russo-Turkish war is at a critical juncture, and Erast Fandorin, broken-hearted and disillusioned, has gone to the front in an attempt to forget his sorrows. But Fandorin’s efforts to steer clear of trouble are thwarted when he comes to the aid of Varvara Suvorova – a ‘progressive’ Russian woman trying to make her way to the Russian headquarters to join her fiancé.

Moscow Noir by by Natalia Smirnova (Editor), Julia Goumen (Editor), and others

The more you watch Moscow, the more it looks like a huge chameleon that keeps changing its face—and it isn’t always pretty. Following Akashic Books’ international success with London Noir, Delhi Noir, Paris Noir, and others, the Noir series explores this fabled and troubled city’s darkest recesses.

The Mountain and The Wall by Alisa Ganieva

This remarkable debut novel by a unique young Russian voice portrays the influence of political intolerance and religious violence in the lives of people forced to choose between evils.

The Mountain and the Wall focuses on Shamil, a young local reporter in Makhachkala, and his reactions, or lack thereof, to rumors that the Russian government is building a wall to cut off the Muslim provinces of the Caucasus from the rest of Russia. As unrest spreads and the tension builds, Shamil’s life is turned upside down, and he can no longer afford to ignore the violence surrounding him.

Murder on the Leviathan by Boris Akunin

In Cairo, the ship is boarded by a young Russian diplomat with a shock of white hair—none other than Erast Fandorin, the celebrated detective of Boris Akunin’s The Winter Queen. The sleuth joins forces with Gauche to determine which of ten unticketed passengers on the Leviathan is the rue de Grenelle killer.

Tipping his hat to Agatha Christie, Akunin assembles a colorful cast of suspects—including a secretive Japanese doctor, a professor who specializes in rare Indian artifacts, a pregnant Swiss woman, and an English aristocrat with an appetite for collecting Asian treasures—all of whom are con?ned together until the crime is solved. As the Leviathan steams toward Calcutta, will Fandorin be able to out-investigate Gauche and discover who the killer is, even as the ship’s passengers are murdered, one by one?

Already an international sensation, Boris Akunin’s latest page-turner transports the reader back to the glamorous, dangerous past in a richly atmospheric tale of suspense on the high seas.

It was only published in Russia during perestroika in the late 1980s, the last of their works to see publication.

It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

Riveting Story

• By Jean on 06-04-17

Publisher's summary

World War Three wiped out the humankind. The planet is empty now. Huge cities became dust and ashes. Railroads are being eaten by rust. Abandoned satellites hang lonely in their orbits. Radio is mute on all frequencies. The only survivors of the last war were those who made it into the gates of the Metro, the subway system of Moscow city.

It's there, hundreds of feet below the ground, in the vaults of what was constructed as the world's largest air-raid shelter, where now people try to outlive the end of days. It's there that they created a new world for themselves. The stations of the Metro became city-states, and its citizens, torn apart by religions and ideologies, are fighting for now-scarce commodities: air, water, and space.

This tiny underground world can only remind humans of an immense world they once were the masters of. It's been 20 years since Doomsday, and yet the survivors refuse to give up. The most stubborn of them keep cherishing a dream: when the radiation level from nuclear bombings subsides, they will be able to return to the surface and have the life their parents once had. But the most stubborn of the stubborn continues to search for other survivors in this huge emptiness that once was called Earth. His name is Artyom. He would give anything to lead his own people from the underground onto the surface.

And he will.

Great finish

loved the book the whole way through only issue is for the "final book" it was a bad ending because the entire story builds up this situation that doesn't even happen and it's left me with now questions than answers, still worth the read to end Artyoms story but be warned

• Robert S Revels

Amazing book my favorite in the series.

Loved the book it turned to be my favorite in the Metro series, the performance was top notch. Kind of sad though, a hero out to save people who don't want to be saved.

• Jeff Koeppen

Fantastic conclusion to an epic trilogy

The Metro trilogy is dark, messy, unforgiving dystopian science fiction and I really enjoyed all of it. In total, I spent 51 hours in the Moscow Metro (subway) plus time reading the electronic versions of the short prologue and epilogue to 2033! Why aren't these books in major bookstores in the US? Summarizing from my prior Metro reviews: the series is set in the Moscow subway system after a nuclear war. The system consists of 223 stations on 12 lines and were designed as nuclear shelters with sealed gates, generators, filtered air intakes, weapons, medicine and other and life-sustaining systems. When the war starts the people lucky (?) enough to be in the Metro or get in from the surface before the hermetically sealed doors are closed are saved, and people left on the surface are presumed dead. Eventually, the stations become their own city-states and form alliances amongst themselves. Returning to 2035 as the main character and protagonist is Artyom. He sat out most of 2034 as the story focused on Homer, Sasha, and Hunter (supporting character in 2033). The plot of 2035 focuses again on a quest taken by Artyom, with Homer and Sasha also making appearances. As the novel opens Artyom has returned to normal life in his home station two years after the events of 2033. Having heard rumors of radio contact made with the outside world he dons a radiation suit, surfaces, and climbs to a high building with radio gear in hopes pick up a radio signal. After having no luck after many days of attempts he decides to set out to the station where the supposed signal was received. The plot of this 20-hour book picks up quickly and progresses at a furious pace to the end. Artyom finds himself in hair-raising situation after hair-raising situation as he tries to uncover the truth of what is really going on on the surface. Is it habitable outside of Moscow? Did other countries survive the war? I liked 2035 a little bit more than 2033 with the shorter 2034 third in preference. I find it hard to compare these books with any others I've read. There are some similarities with the great Wool series by Hugh Howey in that human life has gone subterranean to survive a calamity, and not all is what it appears to be. There were times where 2035 got a bit raunchy for my tastes and there was a scene that didn't work for me in audio but overall I thought it was excellent. The mystery that Artyom was attempting to solve in this book captivated me from the beginning and I barely had time to relax during the entire 20 hours. I'll give this 4.5 stars rounded up to 5 as this series was absolutely epic and this was my favorite installment.

• Story 4 out of 5 stars

hard to follow

the narrator was great, but the story was little hard to follow. No Monsters which I thought was a little weird

A good book especially if you read the others.

It's a good book overall there were something here and there i didn't like but that all personal opinion. The original was the best of the 3 with out a doubt.

Best book in the trilogy

It's a long story to get to get to this point, but this book makes it well worth it. A great story to finish off the series.

The Best of a Great Series

All of the Metro books are great, but this one is amazing. It's hard to imagine where they could go from the previous books, but this book manages to forge ahead into new territory and, in my opinion, surpass what came before it.

• Timothy Dingwall

Not like the games.

This series is not like the games but the story is much more enticing. This is much more to think about, more character elements and growth, and no matter where you pause; you'll always what to pick it back up and see what's next. I got into these books after finishing the games and now I have qualms with the accuracy of the games. Haha! Great read, easy listening, enthralling experience!

The Best of Metro

Best of the trilogy. Is very different from the games, but Metro is Metro. This is the best of the trilogy for obvious reasons, such as a more centered narrative and overall better storytelling. This book carries tremendous emotions throughout the story of Artyom and the path of the Metro. I highly recommend this book, especially if you're a fan of the GAMES. It makes me wish for much more of the book and the games.
