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.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 8,456
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.

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.

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.

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.

Interesting
This was not what I expected though I really wasn't sure what it was about to begin with. Written as if it were a made for television reality series, it takes a bit to realize the evil taking place against the unwilling captives has been created by beyond-rich men with a hunger for something unique to satisfy the neverending lust in their hearts and minds.
The story is very short but seems to cover a lot of ground without bogging down in detail. I'm not really sure how to rate it as I've nothing to compare its style with other than TV or a movie. The narrator was excellent and I would enjoy hearing more of her work.
I must admit that while I might not normally read something with this kind of plot, I'm hooked so I must wait for the next book in the series. There is graphic adult language but so far very little adult content.
I received this book as a free gift from the narrator and Audible. Thank you.

A Hunger Games genre novel
What did you love best about The Preserve: Season 1.0, Volume 1?
Interesting characters. It has me wanting more. I like this type of novel with some the characters having to meet challenges, with unforeseen twists along the way.
What other book might you compare The Preserve: Season 1.0, Volume 1 to and why?
The Hunger Games. In The Preserve, you have characters put in a situation where it is be smart, adapt, and fight to survive. The ultimate game.
What about Karen Krause’s performance did you like?
Karen Krause's performance is what I would call "chipper" and "engaged". Each voice artist is unique in their own ways. The main question, was the voice artist able to "put me in the moment"? Absolutely! I am wanting to hear more of the story. Karen was able to let me see the characters through her eyes. I felt I was there.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Absolutely. I want more!!!!
Any additional comments?
Nice range of characters. Compelling read.

Season1
If you could sum up The Preserve: Season 1.0, Volume 1 in three words, what would they be?
This audiobooks reminds me TV series where the contestants try to survive in the jungle. Not a new setting but interesting nonetheless. Very interesting audiobook.

Lost...but not as good
What disappointed you about The Preserve: Season 1.0, Volume 1?
Where it ended. why break this into two books? should have been just one.
Would you ever listen to anything by Josh Hilden again?
I dont know. The book was good, just didnt like the lame cliffhanger that didnt need to be.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Karen Krause?
I would and I have. Karen is great
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Couldn't get past the first few paragraphs
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
If I wouldnt have been assaulted by "F" words. I had two in probably the first few paragraphs.
What could Josh Hilden have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
No "F" words.
What three words best describe Karen Krause’s voice?
I wish I could say, but barely got to hear. I look forward giving her a try in another book.
Any additional comments?
Warning labels four obscene amounts of bad language.
