About this audiobook
Ethan Bryant was supposed to fall asleep on a ship leaving Earth and wake up fifty years later with his family on the planet Minea. Instead, after the ship's caretaker-the lone human in charge of monitoring the ship's vital systems-suddenly died, the ship's computer locked Ethan out of his stasis chamber and gave him the job. That was five years ago. Five years of checking to make sure everything runs smoothly on a ship Ethan knows almost nothing about.
Ethan is resigned to his fate, until the ship suddenly wakes up another passenger: a beautiful engineer who, along with Ethan, soon discovers a horrible secret-a navigation room hidden from even the ship's computer. The ship is not bound for Minea but somewhere far more dangerous.
With the ship nearing its sinister destination, Ethan soon learns that he is the only one who holds the key to saving all 4,000 passengers from a highly-advanced, hostile alien race.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Okay book, but the narrator spends entirely too much time yelling into the mic. It's ear grating and makes you want to put down the book within the first 5 minutes.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The setup is fascinating and I was worried that it was moving into well-trod territory. However, the introduction of a deftly handled romantic component with a unique love triangle worked extremely well. The story loses some steam as sci-fi late in the book as the plot takes over and the exploration of alien ideas and worlds takes a back seat. I'm looking forward to the second in the series.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The first half was interesting in a good way with a building dread and mystery. The second half after their first encounter was like a completely different style of story, a cartoon space adventure with an over the top bad guy.
