The Eschaton had been designed to hold numerous and diverse immense biological habitats: flora, fauna, and everything needed to terraform a new world. It also carried thousands of people in suspended animation. The ship was designed to be tended by crews who would live out their lives in the journey between worlds. That journey would only be completed after several generations had lived and died while in transit. That was the plan. But something happened. The people from Dome 17 have reached The Eschaton, but what will they find in those habitats? What systems are still functioning?

Disappointed with the new narrator.
I was looking forward to this entry having enjoyed the first two books in this series. However, with the new narrator the audio quality is static-y and abysmal, and the performance borders on robotic. I couldn't even get through the first chapter.
I will be turning to the print versions for the entries that have this narrator, because I still want to continue this series, there are a lot of great story ideas to explore ahead. No fault to the author at all.

Want to watch the game?
The survivors of Dome 17 are trying, with varying levels of success, to adapt to their new world. John loves it, Jamie, although liked and respected by the indigenous inhabitants, finds it all rather primaries, and the lack of technological advances frustrates nearly everyone. Especially Brink, former Dome 17 master engineer. He longs for the data sticks to be working again so decides to go on a personal quest to see if he can find the remains of the shuttle, and A.I.Roxanne.
With the larger possible cast available to the author in this third Colony Ship Eschaton story, several story lines can be followed simultaneously but only two are concluded satisfactorily. As always in the wider Colony Ship worlds, the writing and characterisations are simple and easy to read, the adventures imaginative. Unfortunately, the narration by Beg Cassis adds little to the story. Although her reading of the text is reasonably modulated, her pace is slow and laborious. Spreading the delivery to 1.25 helped at the expence of making her sound somewhat robotic. But it was Ms Cassis' delivery of the character voicings which became really annoying as she employed spurious accents for several which sometimes blurred what was being said as well as sounding horrible.
With several loose ends dramatically left hanging ( and even listed at the end of the book)., it is to be hoped that a further installment of life on the Eschaton Colony Ship will follow shortly, though preferably with a different narrator.
