À propos de cet audio
For 40 years, Colony 3245.12 has been Ofelia’s home. On this planet far away in space and time from the world of her youth, she has lived and loved, weathered the death of her husband, raised her one surviving child, lovingly tended her garden, and grown placidly old. And it is here that she fully expects to finish out her days - until the shifting corporate fortunes of the Sims Bancorp Company dictates that Colony 3245.12 is to be disbanded, its residents shipped off, deep in cryo-sleep, to somewhere new and strange and not of their choosing. But while her fellow colonists grudgingly anticipate a difficult readjustment on some distant world, Ofelia savors the promise of a golden opportunity. Not starting over in the hurly-burly of a new community...but closing out her life in blissful solitude, in the place she has no intention of leaving. A population of one.
With everything she needs to sustain her, and her independent spirit to buoy her, Ofelia actually does start life over - for the first time on her own terms: free of the demands, the judgments, and the petty tyrannies of others. But when a reconnaissance ship returns to her idyllic domain, and its crew is mysteriously slaughtered, Ofelia realizes she is not the sole inhabitant of her paradise after all. And, when the inevitable time of first contact finally arrives, she will find her life changed yet again - in ways she could never have imagined...

Grandma's do it better
Elizabeth moon is, well to be Frank, my favorite author. Only she could write an amazing story about space travel, alien planets, understanding yourself and believing in being creative and strong while dealing with Intergalactic politics using the best type of person for the job. A 70 year old retiree who just wants to be alone. 10/10 The author and the reader work in harmony with this one.

Had to crank up the speed to get started
I had to crank up the speed on this book to get thru the first few chapters, the start was quite plodding. By the end it was a very satisfying read. Once Blue Cloak arrived on scene the plot began moving more quickly. Not much fighting no space battles, all the story happens on the ground in an abandoned colony. Enjoyable.

magnificent
this may well be the most beautiful book I have encountered in a long life filled with thousands of books. It is a quiet and gentle book, which is not to say that it is filled with sunshine and good cheer. Injustice and petty cruelty are common. Corporate and governmental bureaucracy and arrogance dominate, but must, in the end, bow to the quiet dignity of an elderly peasant woman; nominally an employee, but in fact a Slave.

Brilliant, and carries a message oft missed
Outstanding story, the message underlying all is also clear and important. Thus, I say to my fellow men, if this story makes you uncomfortable, that's a good thing. Take it to heart and find your way to being a better dude, to my dudes who nod and go 'Yeah that tracks' let's get the others on our side and make a future where it doesn't.
This story was fantastic, a true gem whose main character utterly shines. Perfectly performed by Suzanna Toren.
