About this listen
You are probably wondering how there can be a Ship Book Six when the Ship series definitely ended with Book Five. It is called a side story or, as Hollywood would say, a spin-off. So, let’s go back to Discovery, Book One. End of Chapter 59, there is a conversation about saving mankind.
“Chameleon, is there a problem?”
“I am not sure, Meg. The explanation you gave Beth and Jake about the end of mankind is hard for me to process. I understand the logistics, but I do not comprehend why our creators do not allow you to help the humans.”
“I understand your concern, Chameleon, but our creators have very specific rules regarding interference. Once we hamper development within a species, it is difficult to determine how, and when to stop.
“Our creators however, have what Jake likes to call a backup plan. In the DNA sample room, there is a device that can take a small sample of Earth and move it into the future. It has been released and is hidden somewhere in deep space. We are the only two that know of this device, so you must never speak of this to anyone.”
“I understand, Meg. It looks like there may still be hope for mankind.”
This conversation will be the core of the side story. It is not about Jake McDonald’s world. It is a whole new story with a new cast of characters that takes place in Paradise, Iowa. If you like the Ship Series, we think you will like this one stand-alone story as much or even more. Enjoy

Story
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.

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Story
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Story
In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

They establish a new home in Oregon where generations of children spread their exploration throughout the mainland U.S. The second timeline concerns the events following Jake McDonald’s return to Earth more than a hundred ...

He, Beth, and his son travel with the nomadic race called the Harpcons across the galaxy in search of answers to the creation of the universe and the location of the Harpcon home world. As they get closer to their goal, they encounter a warlike race called the destroyers. Unprepared to do battle, they use Jake’s knowledge of sci-fi movies and TV shows to battle a much more powerful race than the Harpcons. Jake McDonald finally realizes his dream as he ...

While scuba diving, he discovers an underwater cave that extends deep beneath the island’s shoreline. As he swims into the cave looking for fish and lobster, he finds an alien artifact. This discovery drastically transforms his life and changes the history...
