Summary

The Harvest is a short novel of future history. No, it’s a bit more than just that - Alec Sand has created a detailed future in which his characters move. It is a future in which a substance called iridium - a substance from which power is derived - has changed things significantly. The Harvest is hard science fiction in which the ideas and concepts generously flow.

In this future, in which Gideon and his sister, Dara, reside, Dara has a disease that Gideon is convinced has a cure somewhere “out there”. He takes her with him on a mining expedition to a new planet.

A unique aspect of this audiobook is its soundtrack. There are several songs that play at various times throughout the audiobook, usually as bridges between chapters or sections. A band called Silk84 provided the music, and the songs are included in full.

Not bad

The author does a good job of narrating considering he doesn't do voices. The story isn't that bad either. The main reason I gave it 3 stars was the music. It didn't really go with the story and put me off a bit. Worth a listen though.
