About this listen
It's the mid-21st century. The oceans are rising, the world's population is growing, terrorist organizations are running rampant, and it has become readily apparent that humanity's destructive nature is at the heart of the matter. When all faith in humanity seems lost, a startling proposal is announced: Solomon Chavez, the mysterious son of the world's first trillionaire, announces that he, backed by a consortium of governments and wealthy donors, will build an interstellar starship - one that will convey a select group of 6,000 individuals, all under the age of 50, with no living relatives, to a recently discovered planet in the Epsilon Eridani star system. His goal is lofty: to build a colony that will ensure the survival of the human race. However, Solomon Chavez has a secret that he doesn't dare share with the rest of the world.
With the launch date rapidly approaching, great odds must be overcome so that the starship Solomon's Arrow can fulfill what the human race has dreamed of for millennia: reaching for the stars. The goal is noble, but looming on the horizon are threats nobody could have imagined - ones that may spell the end of all human life and end the universe as we know it. Filled with action, suspense, and characters that will live on in the imagination, Solomon's Arrow will leave listeners breathless while at the same time questioning what humanity's true goals should be: reaching for the stars or exploring the limits of the human mind?

Started really well
I was rather intrigued at the beginning of the story and developed quite an affinity for some of the characters we were first involved with.
I have no intention of spoiling the plot or the story, but I really lost my compulsion to continue listening in the later stages of the story.
The performance was good, and the voices were well created and distinctive, but the story itself just became too formulaic as so many other capabilities and implausible things seemed to be introduced just to facilitate the plot.
Carefully abridged and a much tighter, earlier ending and this would be a better story.
Non the less it was mostly enjoyable and included in membership so worth a listen!
