Search the Sky is a satirical science fiction novel set in the far future, at a time when humanity has long since colonized the stars. It begins on a planet called Halsey's, which is in a state of decline. When a Longliner generation ship arrives, having failed to make contact with at least six other colonised planets, Ross (the main protagonist in the story) is sent to investigate what is going on at the other colonies. He is given access to a faster than light spacecraft that can make each journey almost instantly. It transpires that this technology had been shrouded in secrecy and hidden away behind a secret code, due to the risk of interstellar war. However, the isolated colonies that Ross and his crew encounter are affected by their own lack of genetic diversity in different ways from Halsey's planet, resulting in a decline in their uniquely strange societies.

Search the Sky is the second novel that Fredrik Pohl and C.M. Kornbluth produced using their extreme endurance form of creative collaboration.

I love a bit of golden age SF and this book includes a good mix of the usual innocence and imagination of this particular style. It is also fairly dated, including several concepts and scenarios that modern ears might find baffling or concerning, but with the latter, the book manages to play with your expectations - our central character is clearly sexist and elitist, but the authors manage to show these characteristics for the serious flaws they are. Ross suffers significantly as a result of both and if you can get through the story, the denouement just about manages to justify their inclusion.

The story largely works, despite the somewhat abrupt ending and I found the audio presentation to be both effective and positive, the reader managing to offer enough of a range of voices to differentiate the characters, without too many over-the-top performances spoiling things. My only real gripe is the scene changes, or rather the lack of them. Throughout the performance, the reader would move onto the next scene without any kind of break and it would take a few sentences to get your bearings. Otherwise, a solid production; I am not sure I would have finished the book ad I been reading it.

Note: I received a free copy of the audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

A strong performance of a good story

couldn't listen to this god awful narration. Does the story absolutely no justice and is simply distracting.
