Story
They were sent to build a utopia, but all they found on Mars was death. Frank Kitteridge has been abandoned. But XO, the greedy - and ultimately murderous - corporate architects of humanity's first Mars base made a costly mistake when they left him there: They left him alive. Using his skills and his wits, he's going to find a way back home even if it kills him. Little does he know that Mars isn't completely empty. Just over the mountain, there's another XO base where things are going terribly, catastrophically wrong.

Story
When linguist and smuggler Sean Wren is blackmailed into a job to get some data off an ancient ship, he's not expecting it to be the Philosopher's Stone: a literal recipe for immortality. Unfortunately, he's not the only one looking. The undying Ministers, mysterious aliens that have ruled over humanity for thousands of years, want the data too. So does the Republic, the last free human government. To add to the fun, the map to the treasure is in a long-lost language, the ship's filled with dangerous traps and genetically engineered monsters.

Built on the ruins of countless civilisations, Shadrapar is a museum, a midden, an asylum, a prison on a world that is ever more alien to humanity. Bearing witness to the desperate struggle for existence between life old and new is Stefan Advani: rebel, outlaw, prisoner, survivor.

it was going to be 5 stars before taking a sanctimonious jab at the greatest president in history, Donald Trump.

Excellent Story
I read and listened to a lot of books and this was one of the best I’ve ever come across in year’s. The writer did a great job of getting the view of a outsider looking at us from a first contact view.
That view was not all that good and made me really think about us as we are and we need to be better then we are.
Enjoy this book if you can spare the time but know at its end you will be changed by the story

A Story With a Unique Perspective
Loved that the story was told from the point of view of an alien AI probe talking about it's encounters with various humans as it discovered different facets of our nature. Very well constructed story. I don't think I've ever encountered another one like it. The narrator speaks for the robot probe. His delivery is perfect.
