About this listen

 For generations, the solar system - Mars, the Moon, the Asteroid Belt - was humanity's great frontier. Until now. The alien artefact working through its program under the clouds of Venus has emerged to build a massive structure outside the orbit of Uranus: a gate that leads into a starless dark.

Jim Holden and the crew of the Rocinante are part of a vast flotilla of scientific and military ships going out to examine the artefact. But behind the scenes, a complex plot is unfolding, with the destruction of Holden at its core. As the emissaries of the human race try to find whether the gate is an opportunity or a threat, the greatest danger is the one they brought with them.©2014 Ruth Field Adventure Hard Science Fiction Science Fiction Space Opera

Critic reviews

Interplanetary adventure the way it ought to be
As close as you'll get to a Hollywood blockbuster in book form
This is the future the way it's supposed to be
Tense and thrilling
Great characters, excellent dialogue, memorable fight scenes
High adventure equalling the best space opera has to offer, cutting-edge technology and a group of unforgettable characters . . . Perhaps one of the best tales the genre has yet to produce

The story is fantastic, like the other books great characters. certainly worth a listen or read.

Seems there are a few repeating sections - not sure if this is software related or the recording.

Good story, but performance clean up needed

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Once again a really great book. The narration is somewhat average though. It's not bad but he has very odd pronunciation of certain words.

Excellent book. OK narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Really enjoyed this yet another great story. And so much more than the TV show could possibly manage

Can't wait to read the next one

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Can't wait to download the next in the series, excellent story with flawed characters you can relate to.

Excellent space drama

great but I feel it could have shed a lot of prose and been better for it.

good but could have been shorter
