Publisher's summary

What do you stand for, when you're one of the last left standing?

The year is 2072. Soon a volcanic eruption will trigger catastrophic devastation, and the only way out is up.

While the world's leaders, scientists, and engineers oversee the frantic production of a space fleet meant to save humankind, their children are brought in for a weekend of touring the Lazarus|a high-tech prototype spaceship. But when the apocalypse arrives months ahead of schedule, First Daughter Leigh Chen and a handful of teens from the tour are the only ones to escape the planet. This is the new world: a starship loaded with a catalog of human artifacts|a frozen menagerie of animal DNA, and fifty-three terrified survivors. From the panic arises a coalition of leaders, spearheaded by the pilot's enigmatic daughter, Eli, who takes the wheel in their hunt for a habitable planet. But as isolation presses in, their uneasy peace begins to fracture. The struggle for control will mean the difference between survival and oblivion, and Leigh must decide whether to stand on the side of the mission or of her own humanity. With aching poignancy and tense, heart-in-your-mouth action, this enthralling saga will stay with listeners long after the final word.

An excellent story…

… but not science fiction. This was a really good, modern Lord of the Flies sort of set on a spaceship. A little research into spaceflight may have not been an at all bad idea, however. Even spaceships that can maintain a constant 1g acceleration do not make u-turns and go back the way they came, like a car on a road, especially if they are solar sail ships, turning to return sunward. And solar sail shops that could accelerate continuously at 1g,..

The author is an excellent narrator. I often wonder what the author must think of the narrator chosen for their book. If the author has a nice voice, they should always narrate their own.

Fun and thought provoking

This was my favorite sci fi I've read/listened to in the past year. 5 stars!
