Audible Original Fiction by Craig Robertson
In the not-too-distant future, scientists discover a space phenomenon that will destroy the whole of planet earth in less than one hundred years. How will they prepare for such a thing?
The decision is made to find a way to leave earth and relocate all the people somewhere else. John Ryan is one of those chosen to be sent out in a superfast exploratory spaceship to find a new planet that can support life as we know it. But first, he (and the other scout pilots) has to be made immortal somehow, as the journey will take at seventy years or so, and he must remain fit for duty the whole time. In the meantime, people on earth will be hard at work building giant "world-ships" out of reclaimed asteroids for the entire population of the planet (hopefully) to evacuate on.
Okay, so it's an almost-unbelievable scenario. It's SCI-FI, all right? Just go with it!
As with any story, it's the characters that make the difference, and this book has some good characters. I also enjoyed the narration and the unexpected plot twists, although it was a kind of long.
This audiobook contains parts one and two of a five-book series. (See what I mean; it was long!?)I really liked these two books; however, they were about nine hours each, so it will be while before I finish the entire series. I think I probably will keep going though...
I also listened to recently by audible originals: Deep Hole
