Publisher's Summary
The year is 2035, and the crew from the first expedition to Mars is returning to Earth. The crewmembers are anxious to get home, and ennui pervades the ship. The mood is broken by a series of mysterious events that jeopardize their safety. Someone or something is threatening the crew. Is it an alien being? A psychotic crewmember? A malfunctioning computer? The truth raises questions about the crewmembers’ fate and that of the human race.
In this novel, the intent is to show real psychological issues that could affect a crew returning from a long-duration mission to Mars. The storyline presents a mystery that keeps the listener guessing, yet the issues at stake are based on the findings from the author’s research and other space-related work over the past 40-plus years. The novel touches on actual plans being discussed for such an expedition as well as notions involving the search for Martian life and panspermia. The underlying science, in particular the psychological, psychiatric, and interpersonal elements, are introduced and discussed by the author.

Is it possible that the narrator can ruin the audio book?
This is extremely bad , bad narration.
I have given 2+hrs but could not finish the book.
The narrator has ruined the book for me. His style of reading takes you back to 1950s , Leave it to Beaver era.
The characters, male or female sound the same, monotone, robotic . Can’t tell the difference between a woman or a man, or the ai.
I am very sorry for the author who spend time ,effort and research to write this book , so that the narrator could make it indigestible.
In audio books, the narrator can make or break the book, thus affecting its sales.
This narrator was a very poor choice . Perhaps a different narrator would allow to tune in into the story and actually follow it.
You can’t listen to the narration for more than a couple of minutes, any longer and it is your strong will that will keep you going , if you decide on going.
I am glad that this book was free , so I have no regrets deleting it from my library.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
