Summary
Cassia Vici is on a one-way trip to Saturn - to help humanity reach the stars.
A towering genius who'd already solved the problem of death by making memory recording possible, Cassia leads a team of scientists and problem solvers to a station floating in the harsh winds of Saturn. Their mission: to grow interstellar ships using nanobots in the planet's material-rich environment. She called them "monsters" to help sell the project to a skeptical public.
Little did she know how prophetic that name would become.
But an unexpected death seeds doubt among the team, putting the mission in jeopardy. As her team struggles to save the future, Cassia is haunted by her past - a wife and daughter who died in the very technology that made mind recording possible.
With time running out, Cassia and her crew will need one final miracle to build the monsters that could become both their savior - and their doom.

Not a horror story.
A very unusual and absorbing tale with unexpected plot twist and turns. Clear, good quality narration.

The imagination is a wonderful thing
I was captivated from the first moment to the last. Vivid images thought provoking questions wrapped up into a short story.

good to find a queer female protagonist in space
interesting story but the end left me wanting a bit more.
loved having a female narrator on a space story.
worth a listen and it's short enough to get though on a whim.
please to find the queer representation as not a Major plot point just well considered and quite natural

I feel like this was written by a sociopath
The main character in this story does incredibly evil things. Yet she's still presented as a martyr-hero.
She blackmails vulnerable people, betrays those closest to her, hides secrets that get people killed and has all the scientific ethics of Doctor Moreau.
She constantly talks about reform and redemption but to final word of the story she remains morally reprehensible.
Her final speech is about standing on the shoulders of giants... those aren't the shoulders of giants mate that's the piled up bodies of the people you just led to their grisly death.
She is the monster of Saturn.
Still there were some unique and interesting sci-fi concepts. Plus the voice work was good, solid narration.

Good story but the narrator is very distracting and poor
The narrator sounds like an AI very bland so it distracts from the story.
It’s not a bad story, decent characters and arcs.

Good Book & Good Narrator
So I was unsure about this book following the previous reviews, however I was so glad that I took no notice of them and decided to listen to this book and make up my own mind. I am so glad doing this as this book is not as long as I normally listen to but has an amazing story and the narrator does a good job........5 out of 5 for both, as like I said the story and narrator are amazing but this is in the Plus Catalogue it has to be a 5:out of 5. This is due to what I mentioned earlier but also if you are a member you get to listen to this book at no extra cost. Thank you Amazon / Audible!

Sci Fi Drama
An interesting exploration or the concept of consciousness, hard science fiction and the inter personal drama of those living in close proximity,who are facing the prospect of death

Beautifully narrated
A twisting story that will offer you some peace in a torrid time. If you are looking for some calm but still want to activate your brain the narration is perfect.

So enjoyable.
I don't often download books like this, but I am so glad I listened to this one. it is a clever premise that uses the genre to ask questions about who we are, the meaning of life, management theory (yes really), and its a love story as well. The ending was genuinely gripping, and a nice twist. Loved it. Fans of Anne McCaffrey's The ship that sang" will get some inside jokes as well. well read and held me throughout. Thanks to all.
