À propos de cet audio
"This claustrophobic, horror-leaning tour de force is highly recommended for fans of Jeff VanderMeer’s Annihilation and Andy Weir’s The Martian." (Publishers Weekly)
A thrilling, atmospheric debut with the intensive drive of The Martian and Gravity and the creeping dread of Annihilation, in which a caver on a foreign planet finds herself on a terrifying psychological and emotional journey for survival.
When Gyre Price lied her way into this expedition, she thought she’d be mapping mineral deposits and that her biggest problems would be cave collapses and gear malfunctions. She also thought that the fat paycheck - enough to get her off-planet and on the trail of her mother - meant she’d get a skilled surface team, monitoring her suit and environment, keeping her safe. Keeping her sane.
Instead, she got Em.
Em sees nothing wrong with controlling Gyre’s body with drugs or withholding critical information to “ensure the smooth operation” of her expedition. Em knows all about Gyre’s falsified credentials and has no qualms using them as a leash - and a lash. And Em has secrets, too....
As Gyre descends, little inconsistencies - missing supplies, unexpected changes in the route, and worst of all, shifts in Em’s motivations - drive her out of her depths. Lost and disoriented, Gyre finds her sense of control giving way to paranoia and anger. On her own in this mysterious, deadly place, surrounded by darkness and the unknown, Gyre must overcome more than just the dangerous terrain and the Tunneler that calls underground its home if she wants to make it out alive - she must confront the ghosts in her own head.
But how come she can’t shake the feeling she’s being followed?

Histoire
Psychologist Dr. Ophelia Bray has dedicated her life to the study and prevention of ERS—a space-based condition most famous for a case that resulted in the brutal murders of twenty-nine people. When she's assigned to a small exploration crew, she's eager to make a difference. But as they begin to establish residency on an abandoned planet, it becomes clear that crew is hiding something. While Ophelia focuses on her new role, her crewmates are far more interested in investigating the eerie, ancient planet and unraveling the mystery behind the previous colonizer's hasty departure.

It was a day like any other. Except it was our last.... It’s on this day that Pounce discovers that he is, in fact, disposable. Pounce, a styilsh "nannybot" fashioned in the shape of a plush anthropomorphic tiger, has just found a box in the attic. His box. The box he'd arrived in when he was purchased years earlier, and the box in which he'll be discarded when his human charge, eight-year-old Ezra Reinhart, no longer needs a nanny. As Pounce ponders his suddenly uncertain future, the pieces are falling into place for a robot revolution that will eradicate humankind.

No one knows exactly when it began or where it originated. A terrifying new plague is spreading like wildfire across the country, striking cities one by one: Boston, Detroit, Seattle. The doctors call it Draco Incendia Trychophyton. To everyone else it's Dragonscale, a highly contagious, deadly spore that marks its hosts with beautiful black and gold marks across their bodies - before causing them to burst into flames. Millions are infected; blazes erupt everywhere. There is no antidote. No one is safe.

Now I'm on the run and my only friend, a homicidal thunder mage, has invited me to join him on a suicide mission against the seven deadliest mages on the continent. Time to recruit some very bad people to help us on this job.

There have always been whispers. Legends. The warrior who cannot be killed. Who’s seen a thousand civilizations rise and fall. He has had many names: Unute, Child of Lightning, Death himself. These days, he’s known simply as “B.” And he wants to be able to die. In the present day, a U.S. black-ops group has promised him they can help with that. And all he needs to do is help them in return. But when an all-too-mortal soldier comes back to life, the impossible event ultimately points toward a force even more mysterious than B himself. One at least as strong. And one with a plan all its own.

After the climate wars, a floating city is constructed in the Arctic Circle, a remarkable feat of mechanical and social engineering, complete with geothermal heating and sustainable energy. The city's denizens have become accustomed to a roughshod new way of living; however, the city is starting to fray along the edges - crime and corruption have set in, the contradictions of incredible wealth alongside direst poverty are spawning unrest, and a new disease called "the breaks" is ravaging the population.

Multiverse travel is finally possible, but there’s just one catch: No one can visit a world where their counterpart is still alive. Enter Cara, whose parallel selves happen to be exceptionally good at dying—from disease, turf wars, or vendettas they couldn’t outrun. Cara’s life has been cut short on 372 worlds in total. On this dystopian Earth, however, Cara has survived. Identified as an outlier and therefore a perfect candidate for multiverse travel, Cara is plucked from the dirt of the wastelands.

Histoire
Most days, Sarya doesn't feel like the most terrifying creature in the galaxy. Most days, she's got other things on her mind. Like hiding her identity among the hundreds of alien species roaming the corridors of Watertower Station. Or making sure her adoptive mother doesn't casually eviscerate one of their neighbors. Again. And most days, she can almost accept that she'll never know the truth - that she'll never know why humanity was deemed too dangerous to exist.

There has always been a darkness to Ilmar, but never more so than now. The city chafes under the heavy hand of the Palleseen occupation, the choke-hold of its criminal underworld, the boot of its factory owners, the weight of its wretched poor and the burden of its ancient curse. What will be the spark that lights the conflagration? Despite the city's refugees, wanderers, murderers, madmen, fanatics and thieves, the catalyst, as always, will be the Anchorwood–that dark grove of trees, that primeval remnant, that portal, when the moon is full, to strange and distant shores.

I loved that we were thrown into the cave right from the beginning, no boring buildup just right into the action!
the best part is that it stayed that way throught!

Solid 4 stars
Loved the eerie landscape and plot! However, the two main characters are either whining or being self centred nearly the entire time, which made it hard to really empathize with either of them.

Creepy tone, great idea, but some flaws
Overall a very cool novel but much of the logic behind the conflict between Em and Geyre was flawed to the point of being a distraction from the plot. I can't say more without spoiling anything, but in the end I'm glad I read this book.

A great story and narrator
I didn’t what to expect from this audio book as I’d never read or listened to anything by the author. I was very pleasantly surprised by the story. Good writing and compelling characters and engaging dialogue along with just enough tension and atmosphere to keep you coming back.

Overall Great Listen
I had mixed feelings about some of this book, simply because the main character could be rather whiney. I get the purpose was to demonstrate the mental load on someone who faces almost certain death in the darkest depths of a misguided task, BUT at times it was a bit much, Aside from that it was a different tale that kept me engaged; I could visualize the atmosphere and fear and felt involved each step of the way. I would read this author again.

had potential
I loved how the synopsis sounded, and I was all for a creepy time, but this one fell short for me which really sucked. Both characters were very selfish, both butted heads about their ideals. That to me was fine. Throwing in a statement about how "it sucked because they were totally my type" didn't feel like it truly belonged. At that point it started going downhill. I did like the trials the characters went as it pushed their limitations. The narrator did a great job was well, but that alone couldn't save the story.

DNF(wasted a credit so you didn’t have too)
This book started off interesting. However, as I got an hour in I had to tap out. The dialogue was just too illogical for me. Listening to the protagonist go on a rant, after they lied on their resume was peak BS. The only horror in this book is the writing. I took a chance on this one, but I learnt a valuable lesson, go to good reads, read 2 of each review from 5 to 1 and make your decision off of that. You will be able to decide if the book is for you.
Another one was the narrator, she has a calming voice, a little too good at that. I was ready to pass out.
I am use to slow burns because of Stephen king, but I’m also use to good character building because of him. From reading other reviews of people that finished it and they spoke about the same scene where she lied. They say it only gets worse from there.
Definitely my fault from not researching. I hope this helps someone.
