À propos de cet audio

From New York Times best-selling author Peter F. Hamilton comes his first audio original, A Hole in the Sky, Book 1 in the Arkship Trilogy.

Sixteen-year old Hazel lives in the Daedalus, a starship that is flying in search of a new world. The ship has been traveling for 500 years, searching for a world to settle in after having to abandon its last world. Everyone on board Daedalus lives a very simple existence in farming villages. The age of machines supplying their needs was lost during a mutiny 500 years ago. The captain regained control of the ship after a huge struggle. Now, with finite resources, everything in the habitat is Cycled, including humans, who essentially are suicided at 65 so they don't deplete the biosphere's resources.

Hazel encounters the Cheaters, people who refused to Cycle, who tell her the Daedalus has been damaged and its atmosphere is leaking away. When her brother has a paralyzing accident which condemns him to be Cycled since he can no longer be productive, Hazel runs off with him to join the Cheaters. While with the Cheaters, she discovers that much of what has been told to the people living on Daedalus for the last 500 years is untrue, and soon, Hazel is in a thrilling race to help repair the ship and help the people of the Daedalus.

Peter F Hamilton does it again

Genius. I can't wait to see where this series goes. If I know the author's style it has Morning Light Mountain potential. Read some of his other work to know what I mean.

Interesting Concept

Sci-fi isn't my normal genre, my bf recommended it because it's written my his favorite author but it's shorter than his other books. The story is fascinating and i enjoyed it

Excellent tale spoiled by reader

The story itself is pretty good but in the end I gave up on it because it had become a teen romance and the reader’s “little” voice simply made it worse. Sorry, not for me,
Pity it was never published in book form!

Not his best, but I think I am in the minority

Simplistic. If you are not a regular reader of his works, then this is probably not the best example OF his works. Its a departure from his usual massive world building, character and plot development.
Not specifically noted anywhere I could see, the general opinion on various groups I have looked at it is that this is more a "young adult" work. That said, I doubt my daughter would enjoy it, but as a young teen, she would have given it a go and probably wanted to read more of the same. Part of a series in development, I doubt I will bother with the rest.
The narration is very 1950's "BBC" (British Broadcasting Corp) and for the life of me, I dont know why. Having listened to several excerpts of the narrators works, its obviously not her fault and I suspect she was doing as directed.
I'm reminded of Enid Blyton and if thats what the author and narrator were after, then I think they nailed it perfectly.

Not bad, but not what I expected

An interesting listen, though too short. Not a masterpiece. Not what I would expect from Peter Hamilton.
A book mostly for teenagers. I found the girly angst a little too much, and the storyline somewhat infantile at times.

That aside, the story is interesting and gripping, and worth a listen.

Not typical Peter F. Hamilton

I have read a few Peter F. Hamilton books and I always appreciate his writing. His books however then to be a little "doom and gloom". This one was a little less so which I preferred. This would be my favorite book he has written.

Very YA, but a good story.

A juvenile story, but a good setting with lots of interesting features. Science was very simplistic and the YA romance was not too intrusive. The plot moves along fairly quickly, the story could have been expanded with a little more detail, but it was a painless read and enjoyable.
Reader sounded very juvenile, but was very clear and well paced and consistent. I expect to buy the sequel when released!

Can’t wait for the next one.

This is the first book in over a year where I just wanted to hide and listen. The cliffhanger is frustrating but the first story in this new world is resolved. Can’t wait to see what happens in the next one. I place this somewhere in my top 20 sci-if for sure.

Great

Although seems tone for younger readers/listeners, I enjoyed it! Had to add these extra words to get to fifteen word minimum!
