Acerca de esta escucha
The Ship fled a dying Earth to save the human race. Launched as the last gasp of humanity, the Ship set out to preserve the species by seeding the universe with one billion colonists. Generations of crew, trained to be either flight or marines, have spent 5,000 years protecting the Ship and its civilian cargo from the constant threat of alien violence.
Fifteen-year-old Zax has always had trouble fitting in with the other cadets, but he's finally on the cusp of attaining his dream and gaining entrance to the Pilot Academy. Catching the eye of the flight boss and winning him as a mentor should guarantee Zax a top spot, unless the shocking discovery he makes along the way destroys not only his career, but also the Ship itself.

There is fortune to be made across the stars. If it doesn't kill him first. When Deadeye, a hotshot space jockey, is captured by pirates, he decides to join the motley group called the Redshift Runners. Maybe they can help him get rich. These Runners aren’t typical interstellar bandits, however. They risk their lives delivering food and supplies to starving colonies in the outer rim.

Historia
A mysterious object threatens to destroy our solar system. The survival of humankind is at risk, but nobody takes the warning of young astrophysicist Maribel Pedreira seriously. At the same time, an exiled crew of outcasts mines for rare minerals on a lone asteroid. When other scientists finally acknowledge Pedreira's alarming discovery, it becomes clear that these outcasts are the only ones who may be able to save our world, knowing that the Hole hurtles inexorably toward the sun.

An attitude? Why not? After all, what would you do if you were abducted by aliens and transported into a strange new universe away from your home, your family - everything familiar to you? Would it make you happy? Not likely! Now imagine you're stronger, faster, and more coordinated than every alien species you encounter. Would you start kicking some ass? Of course you would! This is the story of human superiority in the galaxy, a gritty, realistic profile of a young Navy SEAL who doesn't like aliens very much - and he makes them pay for the bad mood he's in.

The fate of humanity lies on the shoulders of Burt Radcliffe, the new head of NASA's Near Earth Object program. He's been rushing the completion of DefenseNet, a ring of satellites that are both part of an early-warning system, as well as the means to eliminate incoming threats. Yet Burt knows that despite the world's best efforts, nothing can be done about the alert he's just received. Coming out of deep space is a danger that's been approaching since the dawn of time. A black hole. An unstoppable threat that promises death for all in its wake.

On New Year's eve 2022, unknown flying objects appear over Europe and ignite an inferno of violence among themselves. Debris from one of the spacecraft falls on Athens, turning the city center into a smoking crater. The destroyed remnant of the former metropolis is declared a restricted zone by NATO forces and sealed off. Amid the few survivors struggling for food, medicine, and clean water, Nikos takes care of his girlfriend, Maria, only to soon find out that to avert a creeping death, there is only one way out of the hell of Athens—the wreckage of the alien ship.

A planet in the endless emptiness of space, far from the warmth of any sun. And yet there are people who populate its vast caverns, living, working and loving. Since time immemorial, they have been on course for Andromeda, the neighboring galaxy of the Milky Way. This is the prophecy of the ancients, the one goal that unites them all, their cult. But then the unthinkable happens: the journey stops because the planet enters the orbit of a mysterious object that can't be seen in any telescope.

We hide in shadows. Our planet is lost. We are the last humans, and we must go home. Two thousand years ago, aliens destroyed Earth. Our fleets shattered. Billions died. The last humans fled a burning planet, heading to the stars. Today we are still refugees. Hungry. Afraid. Our enemies hunt us everywhere. So we hide. On distant asteroids. In rundown space stations. In deep caves on frozen worlds. And we dream. Of green hills. Blue skies. Golden fields. We dream of Earth. And for the first time, we have hope.

Years have passed since Earth encountered its first known interstellar object: Oumuamua. Now an even larger one has been discovered, following the exact same trajectory as its predecessor. Scientists around the world theorize that this can no longer be passed off as mere coincidence - the new contact must be an artificial construct of some kind.

Shortly after launch, a devastating malfunction forces Jeff and the crew to make a choice: continue to Titan or go back home.

Zax is an exceptional crewman, agile, brilliant and effective, only he can’t seem to control his stomach during faster than light travel. He is constantly bullied and ostracized for this ailment. He is driven to command a pilot’s seat or even the commander’s chair, so he’ll do anything to succeed. And in this dog-eat-dog environment, he’ll let others fail if it means his own success. His problem is a quirky girl who doesn’t care about the merit system but is just as brilliant and skillful as he is. When they discover the ulterior motives of the command structure, they have to decide to speak up and lose all hope of achieving their ambitions, or sit by and allow the evil to perpetuate a corrupt system.
Landfall is a futuristic coming of age story. Zax’s character feels a little contradictory a lot of the time. Constantly bullied and threatened, he sounds more like a victim, yet is being groomed for command. The action and comradery are a welcome addition to the simple plot, though the constant attention to his nausea affliction is distracting to the story. Five thousand years of technology and they can’t fix this? Seems unrealistic.
Landfall is performed by Eric Martin, who does an excellent job. His voice is pleasant and his characters are easily discerned. He lends the appropriate mood to the novel and holds a quick pace.
Because the protagonists are teens, the novel is a good fit for young adults, but anyone interested in futuristic space colonization stories should enjoy it too. An entertaining and easy listen that doesn’t break too much new ground. The strange and destructive culture of advancement is the exception and gives the listener something to think about. This is book one and two in the series. It ends well enough but is clear that the story is far from complete. If you enjoy it, you’ll be looking forward to the sequel(s).

What would have made Landfall better?
While I enjoyed some of the scifi concepts, the one-dimensional storytelling falls way short of expectations. The Ship series should be one book, rather than 4. I feel left wanting.What could Jerry Aubin have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
There isn't a lot of modulation in his voice. The reading feels monotone and one can feel his lack of excitement about the story.What about Eric Martin’s performance did you like?
Some of the snides were believable.You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Some of the scifi concepts could lend themselves to a great story, if it were written by a writer that knows how to engage a reader.Any additional comments?
I feel left wanting. I also feel ripped off, having to pay for 4 books that should have been one. Is high-tea not paying their people anymore so they have to gauge their readers?Good scfi concepts, poor storytelling
