This is the complete audiobook for the first novel in the Colony Mars series. A fast-paced hard scifi thriller. Science Fiction Audiobook Full Length and Unabridged - six hours.
ABOUT THE BOOK
How can a colony on Mars survive when the greatest danger on the planet is humanity itself.
All contact is lost with the first human colony on Mars during a long and intense sandstorm. Satellite imagery of the aftermath shows extensive damage to the facility, and the fifty-four colonists who called it home are presumed dead.
Three years later, a new mission sets down on the planet surface to investigate what remains of the derelict site. But, it’s not long before they realize the colony is not as lifeless as everyone thought. Someone is still alive -- hiding out somewhere.
Yet, before they can find the elusive colonist a strange illness starts to affect the crew. Pressure now mounts on Biologist, Dr. Jann Malbec, to locate the source and find a way to fight it. However, as she investigates she begins to suspect a dark and deadly secret lurking within the facility. A secret that threatens not just the crew but the entire population of Earth.
With limited resources and time running out, she must find some answers and find them fast. Because if she doesn't, none of them will be going home.

Since suffering panic attacks 4 years ago I started listening to everything sci Fi audio books at night while resting. Thankfully now no longer suffering panic related issues I still listen to audiobooks. I have never posted a comment until now. This story was so captivating that I was listening to this every spare minute of my day. So detailed in description, loved it. I'm left reading comments with mixed reviews but one thing being obvious is we are all invested in the story

I've heard that people will hit dislike just so the youtube won't bombard you with sci-fi audio books or themes. It doesn't really always reflect on the quality of the author or material. Just not their cup of tea. I personally think it really well written and narated. Reminds me of Critons work. Andromeda Strain especialy.

Andy Weir called, he wants his story back. To be fair Gerald only copied the starting this time. 6 astronauts living in a hab, a dust storm raging, communications with Earth lost. Everything going pear shaped. At least he didn’t call their ship “The Hermes”, no, he saved that name for use in Entanglement. The rest of the story is more original than the starting and is quite entertaining, although once again the choice of “Deckard” (or Decker) as the main protagonist's name had overtones of Blade Runner, especially given the way the character is described as moving (basically like Roy Batty). Oh, and what’s the name of the cute comedy sidekick, oh yes, Gizmo. At least he didn’t spawn any monsters!

It might sound trivial but I want to see survivors find a safe place. Great book, I will remember your name and seek out your writing, you nailed it.
