About this listen

When Earth intercepts a message from a long-extinct alien race, it seems like the solution humanity has been waiting for. The Undying's advanced technology has the potential to undo environmental damage and turn lives around, and their message leads to the planet Gaia, a treasure trove waiting to be explored.

For Jules Addison and his fellow scholars, the discovery of an ancient alien culture offers unprecedented opportunity for study...as long as scavengers like Amelia Radcliffe don't loot everything first. Despite their opposing reasons for smuggling themselves onto the alien planet's surface, they're both desperate to uncover the riches hidden in the Undying temples. Beset by rival scavenger gangs, Jules and Mia form a fragile alliance...but both are keeping secrets that make trust nearly impossible.
As they race to decode the ancient messages, Jules and Mia must navigate the traps and trials within the Undying temples and stay one step ahead of the scavvers on their heels. They came to Gaia certain that they had far more to fear from their fellow humans than the ancient beings whose mysteries they're trying to unravel. But the more they learn about the Undying, the more Jules and Mia start to feel like their presence in the temple is part of a grand design--one that could spell the end of the human race...

This is a rather embarrassing listen to anyone who's read sci fi or been around long enough to have seen a few movies, it's so naively plotted that you are left shaking your head. Two teens go to a alien world, survive hardship, out wit professional soldiers and mercenaries, break in to alien temples and solve tomb raider style puzzles. The cliffhanger ending made me cross as it literally finishes mid scene. The 'twists' might surprise some, but you'd have to have quite a limited reading experience. The story structure is incredibly simple, especially in the characters back stories and the story arc itself is poorly thought through, could have been written in the early fifties, as a children's space adventure, or as a script for a newspaper cartoon, were it not for the swearing. For younger teenagers perhaps this works, but anyone older is going to have to play it at a increased speed to get through it.
