Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 81
In the summer of 1938, botanists Elzada Clover and Lois Jotter set off to run the Colorado River, accompanied by an ambitious and entrepreneurial expedition leader, a zoologist, and two amateur boatmen. With its churning waters and treacherous boulders, the Colorado was famed as the most dangerous river in the world. Journalists and veteran river runners boldly proclaimed that the motley crew would never make it out alive. But for Clover and Jotter, the expedition held a tantalizing appeal: no one had yet surveyed the plant life of the Grand Canyon, and they were determined to be the first.

I had to stop listening. The narrator was distracting from the story. I wish I could get my money back.

I loved every minute of the book. Chambers does such a great job weaving detailed characters, strange new worlds, and technical fun. The narrator is one of the best out there!!

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.

I couldn't get past the Narrator.
Revisado: 06-15-21
I tried and tried to get into this, but the narrator (Ray Porter) is very distracting. His delivery takes away from the story line. Additionally, the recording quality is low. There's a tremendous amount of sibilance, as if there's something in the narrator's mouth. I will looking for the book on paper

tough to get through
Revisado: 08-18-18
Ray Porter, while portraying many characters well, makes many simple pronunciations that are very distracting.
The story line itself was interesting, but if you're looking for a book that's heavy on accurate and researched science, this isn't it, keep looking. The author glazes over details which really need more explanation.
More sci-fantasy than sci-fi.

On humanity's first extra-solar mission, the exploration vessel Magellan, or, as she prefers, "Maggie", discovers an alien artifact. Deciding that finding advanced alien life is too important to ignore, Captain Allison Ridgeway chooses to return to Earth while ordering her crew to reverse engineer technology far beyond anything back home. Meanwhile, at mission control, the governments struggle to maintain the existence of aliens a secret while also combating bureaucracy, the military industrial complex, and everyone else who wants a piece of what could skyrocket humanity into a new technological age.

During his 29th year, spending just $19,420.68, less than it would have cost him to stay at home, Adam Shepard visited seventeen countries on four continents and lived some amazing adventures. "It's interesting to me," he says, "that in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Europe, it's normal for people to pack a bag, buy a plane ticket, and get 'Out There'."

Inspiring story, technically unimpressive.
Revisado: 08-13-13
Where does One Year Lived rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
An amazing story that is one of the best non-fiction adventure audio books I have listened to.
What did you like best about this story?
The enthusiasm from the author/narrator was contagious. I really enjoyed the detail in the story.
What three words best describe Adam Shepard’s performance?
Authentic. Excited. Hilarious.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The inspiration for adventure.
Any additional comments?
I would have given this book higher marks, if not for the quality of the recording. The volume changed throughout the book, obviously when the engineer stopped the daily sessions. The author/narrator is not an experienced voice talent, which caused several mis-pronunciations and unclear pronunciations.
