About this listen

The idea was simple enough for the alien race who took Aneka Jansen from Earth in 2011. Take a human, make her into a perfect tool to observe humanity from the inside, and so determine how best to advance this young race into their future. Unfortunately for them and her, their plans went awry, and Aneka became the only survivor on a dead ship marooned in deep space.

Only by chance is the derelict discovered, and Aneka is revived to discover that the world she knew is long gone, and she has to learn to live on a New Earth, in a body that is not her own. Aneka died a thousand years ago, and all that is left of her is a computer simulation of her mind running on a quantum computer inside a body of steel, plastic, and synthetic skin.

Is she really still the woman she thinks she is?

(Contains adult scenes. Not suitable for younger listeners.)

Disappointing

Too much sex! I enjoy sex in a story where it moves the narrative but in this case it was just too much. Struggled to get to end as I kept hoping the author had made his point but no such luck. Narrator did her best. The basic concept of the story was good but overall I was really disappointed.
