About this listen

This is the tale of Myr Sevii, a young woman who discovers a field that suppresses static electrical effects and warps space in a fashion that attracts protons. It's a hard science fiction exploration of what might happen if you were able to pull protons into a tiny volume and - having suppressed static repulsion - crush them together. The story examines how this new discovery affects Myr and will soon affect the world around her.

Changes abound in the company Myr works for, in the people around her, and in her family. So many unexpected technological revolutions are happening at the same time that it's hard for Myr and her friends to come to grips with them.

When word of the inventions gets out, vultures gather - wanting the tech for themselves.

Some of those people will kill to get what they want....

I felt like the story was compressed and there was much more of it there to expand in the future. My dumb joking aside, I enjoyed the premise and found the relationship between the main character and her brother really sweet and realistic. The mom about hot in my last nerve and the patience she was able to show to her mom’s disbelief as the less plausible thing in the story.

Fun little piece of sci fi with room to grow

Uplifting and positive story that has interesting SiFi twists and characters coping with the challenges of not being a perfect hero (in other words, human with faults like the rest of us). Like his other works, it's refreshingly without libidinous content and I was able to play it in my car with my tweens and teens without cringing. Looking forward to part 2 and more excellent Dahners books!
BTW I rarely give 5 stars since all books have flaws.
Enjoy!

Laurance E Dahners wrote this awhile back it was a very good engaging read as was lifter book # 2. Lifter sadly is not on audible.
Bottom line is I am awaiting another audible release to me this series is that good.
Mare Trevathan makes the story all the more enjoyable.
I listened to this over a year ago, at that time I did not do a review. Hade I done so perhaps book # 2 WOULD ALSO BE IN AUDIBLE.
Spend your money, for myself this was a five star story.

Fun Scifi with no magic bullets

while they sorry and sci-fi are amazing and believable, there are absolutely disgusting aspects to this story that are not warned of anywhere that I could find so I'm leaving one.


WARRNING: If you do not enjoy listening to decent people be taken advantage of and brutally murdered in cold blood then stay away from this book.
