About this listen

Humans were forced to leave Earth when the pollution became a threat. Mankind could no longer live on the planet. They traveled 189 light years to their new home they named Horizon. When they left Earth they abandoned much and over the years they grew, developed, and matured. A long time in humanities' future they returned to Earth and found something else living there.

Any additional comments?

Expanded from two earlier shorter stories, Progeny's Children recounts the evolution of what is left behind on earth when it's human survivors abandoned the planet they had rendered uninhabitable and what happens when their descendants return.

The production is excellent, and Christopher Allport is able to convey robotic voices without becoming unpleasant to the ear then, seamlessly switch to more human dialogue. No easy task, and he makes the futuristic world feel much more realistic because of it.
This is an excellent story, thought provoking and exciting without constant confrontation of a military type. It looks into the nature of society and upbringing and changes that could be made for the better of humankind.

My one major criticism is the over use of repetition in explaining parts of what has gone before, especially as I tend to listen to books over several consecutive hours. However, even this could be helpful if heard in short bursts.

Ray Jay Perrault is a modern classic-style science fiction writer of great talent and insight. All of his stories are well worth reading and this Audible production enhances the already absorbing and enjoyable book.

A Riveting Start to a Bold Saga

Progeny's Children is a thought-provoking sci fi journey that kept me hooked from the first page. The detailed portrayal of humanity's struggles to adapt to Horizon and their rediscovery of Earth was fascinating. The author skillfully blends environmental themes with speculative fiction, making it both entertaining and relevant. A must-read for any sci-fi enthusiast

An Intriguing Take on Humanity’s Legacy

This book explores humanity’s resilience and evolution with a gripping narrative. The idea of humans returning to a transformed Earth is captivating, and the mysterious 'something else' living there kept me turning pages. While it started a bit slow, the buildup was worth it. I’m excited to see where Volume 2 leads
