À propos de cet audio
"They would face at least two winters here. The howling swirl of dust wrapping them in an ever tighter cocoon. It hadn't been like this at first. No windstorms or unexplained power outages. No sense that the planet itself had begun to speak."
The year is 2036, and Project Arche - an international endeavor to create a self-sustaining settlement on Mars - has sent the first wave of civilians to the planet. Silver Antara, flight engineer aboard the interplanetary transport ship, Octavia, has spent six months on the inhospitable planet, maintaining a roaming fleet of exploratory rovers looking for signs of water and, potentially, life.
Almost 34 million miles from home, Silver has learned to shelter from solar storms and guard against radiation, but when an unexplained accident occurs at the settlement's quarry, followed by the strange disappearance of a colleague, Silver and Chief Engineer Aliyaah Diambu begin to question the behavior of some of the station's residents and the wisdom of Project Arche as a whole.
Are the doubts in Silver's mind just a result of fatigue or radiation sickness, or is she somehow hearing the planet itself resisting colonization?

Si-Fi Love
I enjoyed this book and the performance by Alex Ford. For me, it was a love story on a number of levels. First, there is a conflict between love of the meaning and purpose of career vs family that many people face. There is the love of humanity and the need to be effective in creating hope, possibilities, and change. On a deeper level, it is about the oneness with a planet that affords us life IF we learn how to live in consort with it. If we do not learn how we may perish.
I enjoyed the variety of well-developed characters. The departure from the tedious homogeneous characters of many novels was appreciated. Matthews presents the ranges between people on racial, political, gender, and sexual orientation levels in a matter of fact manner. She presented her characters as people, as, for me anyway, it should be.
