About this listen
Lieutenant Selene Genji has one last chance to save Earth in this pulse-pounding science fiction adventure from the author of the New York Times bestselling Lost Fleet series.
Earth, 2180
Genetically engineered with partly alien DNA, Lieutenant Selene Genji is different from ordinary humans. And they hate her for it. Still, she’s spent her life trying to overcome society’s prejudice by serving in Earth’s Unified Fleet.
Genji is stationed on a ship in orbit when humanity’s factional extremism on the planet reaches a boiling point, and she witnesses the utter annihilation of Earth.
When the massive forces unleashed by Earth’s death warp space and time to hurl her forty years into the past, Genji is given a chance to try to change the future and save Earth.
Earth, 2140
Lieutenant Kayl Owen’s ship is on a routine patrol when a piece of spacecraft wreckage appears out of nowhere. To his shock, there is a survivor on board: Selene Genji. Once her strange heritage is discovered, though, it becomes clear that Genji is a problem Earth Guard
command wants to dispose of—quietly. After learning the horrifying truth, Owen helps her escape and joins her mission.
Together, they have a chance to change the fate of an Earth doomed to die in 2180. But altering history could put Genji’s very existence in danger, and Owen wonders if a world without her is one worth saving. …

I love Campbell's optomism
Another Campbell book, another set of unashamedly good protagonists fighting against greed, corruption and incompetentence. It's not complex but it is damn inspiring. My only issue with his work is how quickly the heros always go from hostile acquaintances to friends to lovers to married to parents. In almost every respect Campbell gives us fantastic female characters. Smart, dedicated, capable and independent. Yet once they get into a relationship with the male lead its only a matter of time before they get married and then have kids. Just once could they not want kids? Or to get married? It's not even slightly a big issue but I notice it in every book and this one was the most overt. And while I'm daydreaming maybe he could mention a gay person, even just as a passing mention to a side character. Again it's not a big issue but I've read dozens of Campbell's books and not one mention of gay people has ever come up, which seems weird. This book is a solid read, the male narrator is great but I found the high pitched female narrator made it hard at times to take the very professional, mid-twenties character seriously when it sounded like she was 13.
