About this listen

The fifth book in the Boundary series universe, and sequel to Castaway Planet, by New York Times multiple best-selling author Eric Flint and veteran science fiction and fantasy author Ryk E. Spoor.

Worst-Case Scenario:

Sergeant Samuel Morgan Campbell had been in plenty of tight spots before, but nothing like this. It had happened in a few terrifying seconds: the starship he and his crew travelled on, the Outward Initiative, shattered to pieces before their eyes and disappeared, leaving them stranded in the endless night of deep space on Lifeboat LS-88 - all systems dead, light-years from any known colony.

Somehow, Sergeant Campbell and his crew of half-trained children - ranging from freshly graduated Xander Bird down to eight-year-old Francisco - have to repair systems with no tools, navigate with no computers, and - if they could find a planet they could live on - land a shuttle whose controls were more than half-destroyed.

And if they manage all of that, then the real challenge begins; the only planet in range has secrets that even Sergeant Campbell cannot imagine!

A second linked adventure

In this novel a second lifeboat of survivors, coincidentally also with two adults and a handful of children, must work out how to survive the disaster which we first saw in book four of the collection. This time however the viewpoint while giving the younger members a lot to do is primarily about the Sergeant, a senior militia member who teaches survival skills and piloting to colonists who just happened to be nearby when the lifeboat drill started. Because of the difficulties they face it takes these survivors many months to arrive on Lincoln, the same planet the survivors in the first novel arrived at. Because of the overlap it takes much of this novel to get to the point where they find themselves in communication with the other survivors. Near the end the two groups join forces and much rejoicing ensues.
