About this listen

If you could be the first to lay eyes upon a planet orbiting a distant star, would you go?

If it meant that when you returned home - if you returned home - everyone you knew would have been dead for centuries, would you still go?

The members of the Polaris Project knew what they were giving up when they volunteered to fly to the star named Angel-21, but the allure of being the first explorers to leave the Solar System far outweighed the risks. As it turned out, the most dangerous thing they faced wasn't the mission...it was the homecoming. Eight hundred years have passed, and Earth is nothing like they thought it would be.

As Commander Markus Brentwood scrambles to uncover the mystery of what's happened to Earth in their absence, he also must contend with an increasingly dysfunctional crew and a damaged ship that's flying on borrowed time. What should have been a joyous return home after a long, hard mission has turned into a race to see which nightmare would kill them first.

The narrator was great, but the story was a let down. The title of the book sounded interesting but had little to do with the story. It was disappointing. Was annoyed that I wasted my time listening to this audiobook.

A very solid story with characters that you can both love and hate. It has a nice span of events that takes you through a range of environments and varying levels of danger and action.

This would make for a great movie as well

I wasn’t very engaged. It was an ok story. It’s an ok book. I didn’t feel a strong urge to keep reading but I did get to the end.

Good story. Let down a little by the narrator. Voice almost seemed computer assembled at times.
