Summary

In book two of The Colony Ship Conestoga series, Jerome and Cammarry, the adventurers from Earth, are trapped on the wrecked derelict of the once-enormous generational ship. It is in orbit around a mysterious and unknown planet, but most of its systems have failed, and life is barely managing to survive. All eight of the huge biological habitats, the places where food and people were to thrive, are missing. Did they make planet fall? Were they destroyed? Where are the people who once populated the Colony Ship Conestoga?

Cammarry and Jerome, along with Sandie, their artificial intelligence system, work to investigate the wreck. What will they discover? What dangers await? Are they marooned on the Conestoga? Can they find some way to escape? And if there is a way to escape, where do they go?

Only the beginnings.

I’ve started with Eschaton series by the author John Thornton which was awesome the Conestoga series is much worst but it’s only the beginning so hopefully it will eventually become just as good as the Colony Ship Eschaton series then it will all be worth it.

Paul Hikari narrated this book pretty good for each of the characters in this story.

How to prepare a rat for dinner.

Jerome and Cammarri have travelled from earth to the huge Colony ship Conestoga in the hope of saving the inhabitants of the fast failing Dome 17, home of the few remaining humans on the planet. But it seemed almost abandoned with a strange plant life growing over the internal surfaces. The teleported system is set up but no signal to Dome 17 can be established. Leaving Sandie, their A.I., to continue to try to contact Earth, the couple set off with the one person they had found, a strange man who calls then wizards, to explore the ship and find others on the ship. But something is wrong: Cammarri is consumed with an angry determination to save the people of Dome 17, an anger which threatens them both.

Another imaginative story set in the Colony ship world by author, John Thornton, in which two technologically advanced travellers are confronted with societies very different from their own. This one is no less colourful than the others in the sister books but, for this reader, was marred by the often unreasonable and constantly angry outbursts by one of them. This was further exacerbated by the narration of Paul Hikari whose emotional rendering of the text was often loudly bellicose whenever such outbursts were indicated by the text. But his reading was, nevertheless,good with a good pacing and intonation and very distinctive character voices, especially that of Sandie, the A.I. He has a fine singing voice, too, in the brief moment this is called for, but his laughter for the irritating Kin was sheer madness.

Another enjoyable adventure. Perhaps it did not make me hold my breath in expectation of what happens next but I certainly want to read on in this intriguing series. And I really want to find out what did happen in Dome 17.

Another great read.

Any additional comments?

This does start of slow but it does pick up as the story progresses. The narrator does help. He really makes the characters come out. He makes you listen.
In this book we meet the people that live in the Conestoga, how they live, get along with each other and their history.
I didn't know what to expect in this book, the author has a vivid imagination. Also the characters change in a way that you don't expect, which I found frustrating at times but there is a reason to it. I just wish that Jerome was a little assertive when it came to Cammarry.
Would recommend it to those who love SciFi. It is clean read with some violence.
