One of the best narrators I’ve heard in a while
Revisado: 02-27-25
Great storytelling-however I listened to it right after “In Times like these” i should’ve waited…that’s a slightly better story but this narrator more than made up for.

First 2 books Fantastic
Revisado: 02-21-25
Well written and well read…went into this set with an open mind…didn’t know much about author or series. Love time travel.
Bottom line 9.00/10 for first 2 books and as characters are so good-I still enjoyed the slightly wonkier books 3 and 4 - the newer characters were a decent addition and distraction all at the same time. Bottom line perfect for a great road trip listen as I’m lucky enough to do often.

Historia
My name is Hope Arden, and you won't know who I am. But we've met before—a thousand times. It started when I was 16 years old. A father forgetting to drive me to school. A mother setting the table for three, not four. A friend who looks at me and sees a stranger. No matter what I do, the words I say, the crimes I commit, you will never remember who I am. That makes my life difficult. It also makes me dangerous. The Sudden Appearance of Hope is a riveting and heartbreaking exploration of identity and existence, about a forgotten girl whose story will stay with you forever.

Historia
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

It’s another winner
Revisado: 04-27-22
When a book ends…and your melancholy or wish to know more about the characters you’ve just spent time with well to me that’s a good sign. The writer has done a great job and the story was a home run….Hail Mary is again another stellar experience from Andy Weir.
After watching The Martian, reading Artemis and listening to this - I can conclude wholeheartedly Andy Weir is a top 10 sci-fi writer…..the little details are just right. Ray Porters performance was initially jarring to me almost cold but I grew to love it - just like space! certainly did not want this to end……
