About this listen

In 2059, two vastly different groups of people portrayed by the compelling trio of Brendan Fraser (Academy Award winner), Luke Kirby (Emmy Award winner), and Vanessa Sears (Dora Award winner) undergo cryonic suspension. While their bodies are frozen, their minds, still active and awake, are uploaded into a massive quantum computer. The first group are all astronauts, about to leave Earth on a one-way interstellar colonization mission. The second group consists of convicted murderers and volunteers who elect to serve their sentences in a virtual-reality prison. But while both groups are suspended, a global cataclysm devastates most of the Earth, and their cryosleep is extended by more than 500 years.

Now available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

I really enjoyed the book. its an easy listen uncomplicated sci-fi rather than the hard sci fi I would usually listen to for intellectual fiction. The narrators were all good but luke Kirby and Brendan Fraser really have amazing voices for single character reading and although I avoid all audiobooks that come with background sound the volume has been well balanced on this title so that hearing the story isn't interrupted by ringing phones, traffic and doors slamming. it's my first book by this author but now I can fill my next few weeks catching up. Please do more audio books Brendan and Kirby.

Not the normal type of book I’d listen to but this was rubbish. Story seemed to jump all over the place and then just ended! Wouldn’t recommend

Chaotic

Good story that is sadly marred by obvious woke propaganda and virtue-signalling. Well performed though.

Woke sci-fi
