About this listen

Ravaged by environmental disaster, greed and oppression, our planet is in crisis. The future of humanity hangs in the balance - and one woman can tip it over.

Despite increasing restrictions on the freedoms of women on Earth, Valerie Black is spearheading the first all-female mission to a planet in the Goldilocks Zone, where conditions are just right for human habitation.

It's humanity's last hope for survival, and Naomi, Valerie's surrogate daughter and the ship's botanist, has been waiting her whole life for an opportunity like this - to step out of Valerie's shadow and really make a difference.

But when things start going wrong on the ship, Naomi starts to suspect that someone on board is concealing a terrible secret - and realises time for life on Earth may be running out faster than they feared....

This is Station Eleven meets The Martian - a bold and thought-provoking new high-concept thriller.

Read as a bookgroup read. Not my usual genre. A futuristic, adventure thriller. Not a real sci-fi in my opinion. I was hooked and keen to see how it all panned out. Enjoyed.

Futuristic adventure space story

Good book, held my attention for the entirety of the story which is saying something. Not a space epic, but excellent character development.

Good listen

If you want to hear a about a story about a strange new planet this is not for you.
It’s full of useless and boring back story.
The title does not reflect the story and the narrator sound more suited for love stories.
I gave up before the end.
