About this listen

Can humanity survive on a new world?

On Eos, the last survivors of the Long Winter face their greatest challenge yet - and race to unravel the deepest secrets of the grid.

The last survivors of the human race escaped a ruined Earth. Their new homeworld - Eos - seemed perfect at first. Warm. Hospitable. Safe from the grid. But everything isn't as it seems.

The first colony of settlers - from the Carthage - have disappeared. Their settlement is still there, but everyone is gone. As James digs into the mystery of the lost colony, he discovers a series of spheres, buried on Eos. Are they the key to finding the lost colonists? Or are they responsible for their deaths?

Just as James is unraveling the secrets of the spheres, a storm hits Jericho City. Emma, recently elected mayor, struggles to lead her people to safety while James tries to make his way home. In the middle of the chaos, a new danger emerges - a threat no one saw coming.

With time running out to save the colonists, James and Emma face their hardest choice yet.

I loved this series. This lady books lost me around chapter 50 but drew me back around 65.... I had to know how it finished. I think there is room to continue the story, it will be interesting to see if they do and what that would be, maybe a spin-off! I would recommend.

Great series, easy to listen to.

Well written and I loved the plot twist in the final book. The twists and turns especially in the final book made for riveting reading.

“‘The Lost Colony’ by A.G. Riddle brings a satisfying conclusion to a thrilling trilogy. I was particularly captivated by the interplay between James and his AI creations, a dynamic that adds complexity to the narrative. While the story can be both confusing and a bit somber at times, perseverance pays off. The ending delivers a pleasant surprise and ties everything together nicely. For fans of thought-provoking sci-fi, this is a great read that’s worth the investment!”.

A climatic end

I really enjoyed this series, but I found the third book really struggled to tell a coherent story and seem to repeat itself just to fill out extra words

Enjoyed overall but third book kinda loses the plot

Look, I loved the first book, hated the second book (with the exception of the last hour) it really felt like Riddle resented the fans of the first book with how poorly this one is written, again, with his signature long, drawn-out boring narratives.

Emma continues to be only suitable for filling in details we don't care about for any location that James isn't. It's criminal what Riddle did with her character after the first book.

James continues to be the smartest dumb person, if I were part of the colony relying on James to save the human race, just leave me on Earth to freeze.

Arthur, the single best-written character in the second book and really one of the few reasons I was looking forward to book three has been inexplicably changed by both writer and narrator, his acerbic wit and sinister undertones stripped away for a boring android with a completely different voice... there has to be a reason but it's definitely some of Ballerini's weaker work.

Lazy, sloppy hack writing

I enjoyed book one and two. Book three was a total waste of time. What a massive amount of waffle for no reason!! That could’ve been put into a couple of extra chapters and just ended with book 2. The story was really boring and confusing, it bothered me that Eduardo Ballerini had changed the voices for some characters, and it was just a difficult book to get through. I wouldn’t waste your time!

Terrible.
