Summary
She is the clone of a famed space explorer, but Mariska Volochkova rejects her mother and her heritage and wants no part of interstellar adventure. Although she is genetically engineered to hibernate through the interminable decades of space travel, Mariska's home is a habitat on the moon, and there she intends to stay.
But the sweep of interplanetary politics and an affair with a Martian catches Mariska up in a conspiracy to commit a bold theft that will alter the future of space colonization. Mariska must put her life on the line again and again if she is to discover who she is and what her true destiny must be.
In his first new novel in more than 20 years, Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Award winner James Patrick Kelly has crafted a hard science techno-thriller that never loses its focus on the conflicted emotional life of Mariska, a true citizen of the posthuman 22nd century.

not what I was expecting but pleasantly surprised
like many audible titles there's not much to go on with the sample track it only took about 5 minutes into the story to realise it's actually a teen girls coming of age story ( set in space ) will all the Romance Love Lost and relationship building one might expect. As a 27 year old male this isn't exactly my forte with that said I still found myself pulled into this world the author has wrote a very imaginative but well constructed story with characters you want to route for. the narration was performed beautifully you can hear she put a lot of herself into reading this story overall it's definitely worth the buy

Too empty to enjoy too good not to finish.
Teenage angst under the guise of Sci fi. Will have a fan base but not me.

Too empty to enjoy; just grippy enough to finish.
Absolutely fantastic narration by January LaVoy; unfortunately that's about it.
There are 55 chapters in this book and yet nothing happens until chapter 50.
For a deep space action novel not alot happens; however because of that you guess something must happen at any minute so you keep listening only to be proved wrong.
Once you listen it seems a shame to not see it though to the end so it is slightly grippy.
