Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

held hostage by a six year old--pure hell.
What made the experience of listening to It's a Good Life the most enjoyable?
the characters really did a good job of getting across the emotion of fear they were living constantly.
Who was your favorite character and why?
the man who challenged anthony near the end. he at least tried to change the situation the whole town was in.
Which character – as performed by Stacy Keach and Mike Starr – was your favorite?
everyone. the portrayals were wonderful.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
oh sure. it was one of the shortest pieces i ever listened to. but it was a great story.
Any additional comments?
i saw this on tv and i think the audible version is better due to the fact they could not depend on visual to tell the story. they really portrayed what was going on well.

The most nightmarish existence imaginable.
There's feelgood stories and there's stories that makes you feel bad. This one is pure hell. Don't get me wrong. It's a fantastic idea for a story. It's just that hard to listen to. The boy in this story makes Damien look like an angel.
A classic T Z episode.

The story differs a bit from the Original Zone episode & the narrator voices are a bit cheesy.
