About this listen
If you could be the first to lay eyes upon a planet orbiting a distant star, would you go?
If it meant that when you returned home - if you returned home - everyone you knew would have been dead for centuries, would you still go?
The members of the Polaris Project knew what they were giving up when they volunteered to fly to the star named Angel-21, but the allure of being the first explorers to leave the Solar System far outweighed the risks. As it turned out, the most dangerous thing they faced wasn't the mission...it was the homecoming. Eight hundred years have passed, and Earth is nothing like they thought it would be.
As Commander Markus Brentwood scrambles to uncover the mystery of what's happened to Earth in their absence, he also must contend with an increasingly dysfunctional crew and a damaged ship that's flying on borrowed time. What should have been a joyous return home after a long, hard mission has turned into a race to see which nightmare would kill them first.

I didn't really fall in love with any of the characters apart from Captain Marcus and it was really a tale about his experience for me, even though we get a number of perspectives. I properly despised the nasty crew members as I suspect the author intended. I was a bit disappointed when certain pairs of characters seemed to suddenly switch their outlooks, it was a little inconsistent but didn't really ruin the story at all.
This book has the distinction of being the first book I've read which places an f-bomb as the very first word, but don't let that fool you, there are some delicious passages and nice unique metaphors (or similies or analogies) in Blueshift.

."... Flirt, idiot, shes flirtatious, chick, idiot, smokin hot", idiot, dousche bag, naked, idiot.... " the characters are immature, aggressive, sarcastic ... unlikeable. Thus any attempt at humour falls flat and credibility that these folk are fit astronauts is laughable. I had to quit this book , I was sickened. ...But! But! his later books seem better .. Maybe he was given help.
Great idea, appalling writing. Glad he improved
