Summary

Astronaut Keith Stoner, member of a joint US-Soviet mission to capture an alien ship that had entered the solar system, was trapped alone aboard the spacecraft. But he didn’t die; he lay frozen in deep sleep for fifteen years, kept alive by alien biotechnology.

Now Stoner is something more than just a man. While asleep he was inoculated with nanotechnology designed to repair his body, expand his brain, and let him live forever. Stoner also carries the knowledge and memories of the being whose body was enshrined in the alien craft. He now knows of many different intelligent races that destroyed themselves, battering themselves to death on the stony problems of war, famine, runaway population, and ill-planned technological breakthroughs.

Stoner fears for mankind, and he will do everything in his power—his extensive, alien-enhanced power—to preserve humanity into the future. However, there are powerful leaders, both corporate and political, who are becoming aware of Stoner, and they want that power for themselves—and will do anything to gain it. Nothing Stoner can say or do will convince these ruthless men and women that what they seek may destroy them utterly.

the story”s, performance's,& a especially the narration. And I'm starting 4 now. Excited to find out, how it ends.

I've listened to all three books, & I love them.

this whole series is wonderfully restrained in the way the story sits in the world (of the 80s and 90s). what do I mean...I dunno. kinda sounds a little pretentious doesn't it? but hear me out. it starts out as this exploration of how the arrival of an unexpected intergalactic artefact impacts the systems which hold current society together, with this undercurrent of the protagonists' developing relationship. it ends up as something completely different but somehow manages to follow a very coherent thread. No fancy narrative tricks, no twists, just good old fashioned, solid story telling.... also no laser blasters, but it always hints at this deep galactic history of advanced civilisations...and only offers little hinting morsels of information about them. I love that. I lived this servies. also Stefan's performance is in the pocket.

good quality stuff
