About this listen

You can listen to this science fiction story for free on your device with the Audible Stories Skill. Just say “Alexa, read me a sci-fi story,” or “Alexa, read me a story” to hear more free genres.

A robot returns from a deep space mission and struggles to find someone who cares about its findings after two centuries. Society has changed, but surely someone still cares about science?

Martin L. Shoemaker has dual careers as a software programmer and as an acclaimed, award-winning short-story writer. He’s also the author of two novels, The Last Dance and The Last Campaign, installments in the Near Earth Mysteries science-fiction series.
