About this listen

Late in the 21st century, Earth receives what looks like an urgent plea for help from planet Proxima Centauri b in the closest star system to the Sun.

Astrophysicists suspect a massive solar flare is about to destroy this heretofore-unknown civilization. Earth's space programs are unequipped to help, but an unscrupulous Russian billionaire launches a secret and highly-specialized spaceship to Proxima b, over four light-years away.

The unusual crew faces a Herculean task - should they survive the journey. No one knows what to expect from this alien planet.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Similar style of sci fi to Adrian Tchaikovsky slow paced but intriguing
Reader reminds me of Maurice Lamar. Different style but suits this first person story.

Good hard sci fi.

I'm a picky scifi audiobook listener with over 500 titles in my library ive only managed to finish half as I often lose interest or struggle to follow all the way through.
This is a rare book that I got through in just 2-3 days.
Easy to follow single story pathway from start to finish, kept me intrigued from start to finish with it's factual accurate science style.
Builds off of a real project (project star shot I reccomend googling that )
it's not filled with highly creative and edge of your seat style problem solving like the Martian however it flows smoothly with on going interesting enough mix of science and technology that had me listening 3 hours at a time and losing track of time, which really is a testimony to a well rounded story.
4.5/5 overall.
narrator is talented and easy to follow from start to finish.

Great hard scifi recommended from a picky listener
