Story4 out of 5 stars 3,916
The Yellowstone super-eruption has put an end to modern civilization. As cities and countries continue to fall, the colony of Rivendell in the alternate Earth known as Outland looks more and more like the only real hope for humanity. But life in Rivendell isn’t getting any simpler, either. Bill and Kevin continue to discover new worlds; the population continues to rise; winter is approaching; and everyone has their own opinion about how things should be run.

I look forward to every release Dennis e Taylor puts out. The author and narrator pairing is perfect and every other book has been a home run.
However, this one felt forced and it’s a shame because I really looked forward to it.
The political stuff I don’t mind as long as it helps move the story, this time it felt preachy and almost insulting at times.
In the end it was an ok listen but, not what I was hoping for maybe Outland set the bar too high.

Couldn’t get into it.

15hrs in, still have no idea where it’s going!
Reviewed: 01-31-23
I’ve listened to 40-50 books and I don’t think I’ve ever left a review. I love long and in-depth novels, big epics you can really dive into. I was hoping that this would be one.
As the title stats 15hrs in and all I know is government…bad, climate change…bad, corporate anything…bad. Young woke…good.
Where is this thing going? The narrators just kinda blend together, I don’t really care about any character in the book. You jump between multiple characters that have no connection within the same chapter which makes it hard to listen too unless you binge. Needs to be edited WAY down.

NASA finally made it. The very first human has just set foot on the surface of our neighbor planet. This is the start of a long research expedition that sent four scientists into space. But the four astronauts of the NASA crew are not the only ones with this destination. The privately financed "Mars for Everyone" initiative has also targeted the Red Planet. Twenty men and women have been selected to live there and establish the first extraterrestrial settlement.

The first book got me hooked. Great pace and a very interesting story. The second book was just dragging along with a bunch of unneeded dialog. The third book was great but felt rushed at the end.

Great book. Awful voice over.
Reviewed: 02-03-20
The book is really good along with all the others in this series however, it was ruined by a horrible voice over.
