The first book of a thought-provoking sci-fi adventure series about humanity reaching the stars, encountering new life forms, and escaping tyranny.

Earth has fallen under the influence of the Fermion Party, whose members believe humanity’s future lies in the metaverse, a simulated environment to which people can upload their consciousness to become immortal. As a simulant, one cannot get sick, grow old, or die. Human beings have no business risking their lives in the betaverse, where injury and illness can kill them. And those who wish to explore beyond the solar system blaspheme what the Fermions believe is the natural order.

Trillion von Nichol, Atlas Tupu, Icarus Kishida, and Angelique Komene are the Beta Explorers. They have been living on Mars and training as astronauts to eventually locate planets that can sustain the next generation of humans. But when the Fermions invade the red planet to assassinate them, they launch before they are mission ready. Four different ships, with four AIs attuned to each astronaut’s personality, leave for four random destinations to colonize worlds thousands of years in the future.

Now, each Beta Explorer must learn how to function as a simulant to complete their mission. Interfacing with their AIs, they explore potential habitable planets and develop technology to assist in terraforming atmospheres for humans, all the while attempting to reconnect with one another. But the Betas are not the only intelligent species in the universe. And their first contact may be their last when the Fermion’s Starforce Alliance tracks them down to annihilate them once and for all.

The first volume of the hit science-fiction adventure series—originally released on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Positive: The language seemed simple but gave me very detailed visions of star systems in ways I've never considered. I will remember some of them a long time. Negative: there were a few "Star Trek"ish plot complications, but they always led to an interesting scenario. I finished it over the course of five days. With over 600 finished Audible titles in my library, that's a great indicator of how engaging it is.

Images of planetary systems will stay in my mind

Going in I was worried this would be an off take of the Bobiverse but it is not and utterly enjoyable.

Outstanding

Perhaps because the reviews compared this to the Bobiverse series in glowing terms, I expected a little more charm and humor.
I was disappointed in the vocabulary the author used regarding communications in the far future. Surely a little more creativity could have us understanding something beyond the internet or reading a printer readout. It took me back to old movies and tv shows where the astronauts actually had an old style rotary telephone in the spaceship. I have no desire to continue this series but overall it was worth a credit.

It's OK

This story is an example of what happens when extreme religions become mainstream and the whole planet's population become crazed zealots who murder anyone who disagree with them. There are some questions that are ledt unanswered, like what happens to the body adter upload, but that is minor. Overall I found the concept interesting and have pre-ordered the next in the series.

This book was wonderfully done. I can definitely underatand all the comparisons to the bobiverse series (which i did enjoy) but i feel that comparison doesnt really do this book justice. First off the bobiverse books are obviously limited as far as character variety. For that specific series it was done in such a way that kina made sense but after listening to several of Dennis E. Taylor's other works i realized hes just really bad at seeing things from a different perspective then his own, thus hes not really able to create multiple believable charcters which really limits what can be done with a story when its all centered around one person (or at least one personality). The author kina throws a couple digs in about that very issue in this book. Comparatively this book starts with the much more believable and more entertaining (imo) premise of a group of individuals preparing for a journey to seed the stars with humanity to escape the increasingly aggressive zealots calling for everyone to "join the metaverse" which is a group simulation. They end up having to preemptively start their journey but still have with them an abundance of advanced technology and some AI companions that help them with their solar engineering while they try and terraform planets or communicate with alien species or other issues they run into along the way. The most notable difference between these two series are the different charcters and personalities that are represented amongst the star travelers. But also i felt the plot was alot more comprehensive and logical whereas some of the bobiverse books seemed a bit slap dash. The author presents us with intelligent ideas and problems and comes up with creative and fun solutions while progressing the sotryline and developing his charcters. I emensely enjoyed this book and will be eagerly awaiting the next installment!
I almost forgot because by this point i feel it doesnt NEED to be said but id be doing Mr. Daniels a disservice if i didnt mention his steller performance. As always Luke Daniels makes the story come alive by giving each character their own personality and interprets the description of each voice flawlessly. He made this book come alive in my mind and made it all the more enjoyable. Much appreciated 🙏

Understandable comparisons but this surpasses all

I appreciated this different voices used and was captivated by the story. I am now hoping to find more books like it.

Very enjoyable and thought provoking

It’s not often an audiobook keeps me up all night listening to it. But this book was just so darn good.

The story had me hooked from the moment the team were forced to leave mars.

So good. So so good!

I love the Bobiverse. This is a nice twist on it. Good scifi and good characters!

Great scifi

It was agood story, with some really neat ideas, but overall, I wish it would have been way more fleshed out. Worth the sale price, but for me, certainly not a credit

Decent but a bit shallow
