Aboard Argo, a colonization ship bound for Eta Cephei IV, people are very close - there's no other choice. So when Aaron Rossman's ex-wife dies in what seems to be a bizarre accident, everyone offers their sympathy, politely keeping their suspicions of suicide to themselves. But Aaron cannot simply accept her death. He must know the truth: Was it an accident, or did she commit suicide? When Aaron discovers the truth behind her death, he is faced with a terrible secret - a secret that could cost him his life.

Another good Robert J Sawyer Yarn
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
It's clear that this was written early in his career. It mostly lacks the characterization and deep sociological issues that mark most of his work and separate him from his peers. It does have an interesting premise (a novel written from the first person perspective of a computer), as well as an interesting murder mystery and some hard science, but it didn't come together with that usual Sawyer magic. This was made worse by a voice actor who I found grating and overwrought.
If you are new to Sawyer, go read some of his other stuff first (Flashforward, Illegal Alien, Calculating God) and come back to this once you've exhausted the rest of his catalog.
Definitely early Sawyer

Is there anything you would change about this book?
Robert. J. Sawyer is my favorite science fiction writer in current years. I read all of his books. This was apparently one of his earlier works and one has to make allowances for that, but his later works show how far he has risen in the ranks of the genre.What other book might you compare Golden Fleece to and why?
I guess the closest book I can compare it to would be "2001: A Space Odessey" because of the premise that a computer has taken over control of the ship.How could the performance have been better?
Change the narrator. This is the first book I have listened to narrated by Steven Menasche and I must say that it was a very uncomfortable experience. He narrates with a certain accent and all of the character voices sound the same. It added confusion to a complicated plot and many times I was list as to who was speaking.Do you think Golden Fleece needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
It definitely could be followed up with many stories, since with book the long journey is just beginning.Any additional comments?
Robert. J. Sawyer does not disappoint.Absolutely terrible narration

There's Better Sawyer out there

It should be said however that there is some terrible stuff in the history of the main human character. No need to actually describe a child being molested for crying out loud!
Meh

Normally I love Sawyer, but I hated Golden Fleece

Finally, I could have done without the detailed description of the MC's being sexually molested by his uncle as a child. That's not entertainment. It is for this reason I give the book one star. Otherwise, it would be a solid three
Not nearly as good as his later works
