About this listen

The Ship fled a dying Earth to save the human race. Launched as the last gasp of humanity, the Ship set out to preserve the species by seeding the universe with one billion colonists. Generations of crew, trained to be either flight or marines, have spent 5,000 years protecting the Ship and its civilian cargo from the constant threat of alien violence.

Fifteen-year-old Zax has always had trouble fitting in with the other cadets, but he's finally on the cusp of attaining his dream and gaining entrance to the Pilot Academy. Catching the eye of the flight boss and winning him as a mentor should guarantee Zax a top spot, unless the shocking discovery he makes along the way destroys not only his career, but also the Ship itself.

really good Sci-Fi. Engaging, original and fun. I was able to learn plenty about the personalities of the subjects and revisualize what they were doing.

a little predictable and a tad cliche at times- but overall an enjoyable experience with likable characters and pacing.

Great sci-fi

An huge ship, carrying Earth's survivors, most in cryo storage but still with a,substantial crew, flying in deep space in search of new inhabitable planets on which to seed humanity's future. The reader is given only a shadowy impression of the where,when, why and hows of this great space monolith, concentrating entirely on the now as the story revolves around Zax, a 15 years old boy, bright and near the top of the ability charts, aiming for a top job, but friendless, picked on and afraid of loss of merits which could precipitate his journey out of the ranks of crew and into the tanks of the frozen.Claudius

This is very much a Young Adult story, very two dimensional, with lacklustre action and devoid of character content - other than boy meets girl by throwing up and she becomes, of course, despite being better than him, the one to look out for him. Mmmm... Could make a decent enough YP movie.
