About this listen

Some things are better off forgotten.

Sheriff Hayden Duke was born on the Pilgrim, and he expects to die on the Pilgrim, like his father, and his father before him.

That's the way things are on a generation starship centuries from home. He's never questioned it. Never thought about it. And why bother? Access points to the ship's controls are sealed, the systems that guide her automated and out of reach. It isn't perfect, but he has all he needs to be content.

Until a malfunction forces his engineer wife to the edge of the habitable zone to inspect the damage.

Until she contacts him, breathless and terrified, to tell him she found a body, and it doesn't belong to anyone on board.

Until he arrives at the scene and discovers both his wife and the body are gone.

The only clue? A bloody handprint beneath a hatch that hasn't opened in hundreds of years.

Until now.

this is exciting and thrilling. full of action mystery and surprises. It really shows what a man will do for love. But this is no boring love story. this is like a child's imagination gone wild keeping you ads edge of your seat and want you to know more and more.

Narrator basically yelled all the action scenes... super annoying and not beneficial to suspense building or anything really. Other than that, the rest was reasonably narrated.

Voice over was annoying..

Not sure why some of the comments are so negative. This was a pretty solid (I'm tempted to say rollicking) story, well-paced, and well narrated. Yes, the narrator perhaps overdid some of the high-action bits, but I liked the timbre his voice gave the various characters. Unlike many other books I've suffered through, I really enjoyed this, and stayed engaged from start to finish. Imaginative story, well told.

Starts off with a bang, fast paced and holds your attention from the start. Great read.

Wow!

Only finished it as was hoping the lead character died. Buy it for someone you don't like.

It should be.

Cliché riddled and paper cut out characters. could have possibly enjoys as light escapism if not for the appalling narration. overacting to try and add drama where there was none. screaming fight scenes. So many eyeroll moments at how overdone it was. And the replacement swears are SO overused it's painful. Reads like barely edited fanfic.
sufferers serious pacing issues, slipping into moments of nostalgic thought mid action sequence.

Poor Narration makes OK story painful to endure.

Could not finish it. Very slow. Main character was about as engaging as a snail
