The Martian meets Gravity when Army Pilot Vaughn Singleton, Earth’s last man, rushes to Area 51 in search of a spaceplane after he discovers the last woman is stranded on the International Space Station and barely alive - thus beginning a race against time.

Audible Top Ten! This is crap!

Young Adult with cursing.
Simply one contrived assinine plot twist after another,

Historia
In Daretana’s greatest mansion, a high imperial officer lies dead—killed, to all appearances, when a tree erupted from his body. Even here at the Empire’s borders, where contagions abound and the blood of the leviathans works strange magical changes, it’s a death both terrifying and impossible.

Truly excellent! 😱
Revisado: 06-03-25
I usually give 3 stars for the average fare on Audible.
Mostly meh
Sometimes a four ⭐️
But this …
Truly excellent. Enjoyable. Engaging. 😱
………………………….
5 stars is great (I rarely give this rating).
4 stars is good (given only to interesting and well-written books).
3 stars is OK (the usual listen I encounter on Audible).
2 stars is poor (and not worth the credit or the listen).
1 star is awful (and to be diss'ed and shunned and spread as thus through out the Audible Universe)!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 😱

Not terrible. Not great.
Revisado: 05-14-25
The authors work is irregular. Books 3 and 6 are poor and irritating to spend time on without that appreciatory feeling of a story well told.
This book 7 is in between with the salvation to the story being the ending.
I agree with others that I think there were longer stories subsequently chopped up for — financial gain. That’s not a terrible thing for everyone has to make a living and feed their family.
I will listen on …

Historia
Escaping wrongful imprisonment wasn't something Connor had in mind, but being put into stasis aboard Earth's first interstellar colony ship was something he couldn't have prepared for. For 300,000 colonists, the new colony brings the promise of a fresh start...a second chance. Connor might be the wrong man for the colony, but he's the right man to see that it survives what's coming.

Historia
Buried within the black ops budgets of the Department of Defense, a new spy agency has been created. Unfettered by the oversight of self-serving politicians, it reports only to a secret panel of military insiders. Its job is to target Americas enemies - both foreign and domestic - under a charter of three simple words: Find, Fix, and Finish.

Implausible creative plot twists make my desire to read further in this series less and less likely.

Historia
Bren Cameron, acting as the representative of the atevi's political leader, Tabini-aiji, as well as translator between humans and atevi, has undertaken a mission to the human enclave of Mospheira. Both his presence on the island and his absence from the continent have stirred old enemies to realize new opportunities. Old hatreds. Old grudges. Old ambitions. The situation has strengthened the determination of power-seekers on both sides of the strait. Bren knows most of them very well, but not all of them well enough.

Bringing his twin gifts of scientific speculation and scathing satire to bear on that hapless planet, Earth, Lem sends his unlucky cosmonaut, Ijon Tichy, to the Eighth Futurological Congress. Caught up in local revolution, Tichy is shot and so critically wounded that he is flashfrozen to await a future cure.

Some sci-fi just doesn’t hold up after 50 years
Revisado: 05-31-24
Dated.
I like Lem (Stainless Steel Rat, etc.)
But the contrivance that lets the author confabulate a remote future of 2030 — doesn’t work — on multiple levels.

Well written. Well narrated. Convoluted but not crazily so. Cogent story that ultimately comes down to: “What if? And what if I hadn’t?”
