The only bad thing is the front cover!

What a great book - took me by surprise. Colonisation is the theme but having several contributors gives a varied perspective and makes for a satisfying result. One of the best sci-fi audiobooks that I've listened to in a long time.

Colonisation Sci Fi at its best

Absolutely loved this audio book, it is a collection of stories about humans leaving the solar system, their adventures on the way to their new home and their struggles to settle and establish a colony. it is believable and so entertaining , totally recommend to any Sci Fi fan.
The performance of the narrators was great too , nicely done !
