About this listen
It is said that of all things, hope is the last to die. After thousands of years and numerous attempts by humanity to alter its unwavering tendency towards civilizational suicide, even the hope that springs eternal was beginning to fade.
Following seventy thousand years of undisturbed slumber, the vessel of a planetary empire that had followed its own predetermined path to destruction eons earlier had finally reawakened, bringing with her the potential to change everything.
Embodying all that was benevolent and beautiful from innumerable long-forgotten cultures, this lifeform in suspended animation also possessed the power necessary to prevent her gifts from being corrupted by those who will eternally thirst for dominion over others. As she embarks upon a solemn journey in search of those hidden gems of humanity worth saving, in a world that may not deserve to be saved, the only question remaining is, Will she find them, and will they be enough to persuade her to reveal the secrets that could literally change the trajectory of humankind?

Story
It was supposed to be a holiday to fix the cracks in our fractured family. I knew the seven days would be endless, but I never imagined that one of us would only survive for six of them… As I carry my case into the charming and rustic cottage and smile at my sister-in-law, Kelli, I allow myself a moment of hope. Perhaps this holiday will force our family to address our long-held grudges and leave with the promise of a happier future.

While prioritizing their survival activities, they must also complete a journey of nearly five thousand miles before even being accepted into the fold of herald trainees.

Story
When Terrance picks up a rideshare client at Logan International Airport in Boston, he has no idea how pivotal a moment in his life it will be. Within minutes of their introductions, the stranger offers Terrance the fulfillment of his dreams in less than one month. All he asks in return is that Terrance agrees to open and distribute the contents of one box per day, for 21 days. Although it would appear to be such a simple task, the dynamic quickly changes when he's faced with the decision of fulfilling his own dreams, or the dreams of otherwise total strangers.

She didn’t kiss her high school crush. She didn’t travel the world, and become a famous singer. She didn’t overcome her fear of flying, ride a motorcycle, or meet Taylor Swift.

Benevolence Has a Name, and it is LISA
This story requires a dedicated listener/reader. It is deep, touching, intellectually challenging, and thoroughly entertaining. The imagery of the scenes came vividly to life in my mind, and I was transported into a world that was both strange and familiar. The blend of historically accurate details with a (supposedly) fictitious narrative took the story to an entirely different level for me as I followed LISA's incredible journey. Her inevitable confrontation with MALIS had me on the edge of my seat and managed to surprise me on an entirely unexpected plane. This story is well-constructed, but it is filled with little moments that, if breezed past, could leave a novice reader perplexed. Maya Murphy did a phenomenal job of narrating this intriguing piece, and the sheer number of accents and characters she portrayed was mind-boggling. With surprisingly few vocal trip-ups for such a long story, she has certainly earned a huge tip of the hat. The combination of the story and the presentation makes this absolutely unique story beautiful, mysterious, exciting, and thought-provoking. At the end of this 13-hour listening odyssey, I actually found myself wishing it could have been a little longer—I just didn't want it to end. Excellent all around and highly recommended for readers who are capable of deep thought and contemplation. For those with limited attention spans who get lost easily in a deeply detailed story, this one may not be for you. However, that is your loss!

The story has great potential but it was easy to get lost
I think the book has a great and interesting concept but it was difficult to follow despite feeling repetitive at times. It kind of felt like I was listening to a textbook. The narrator was great. I think this book is difficult to execute audibly, and would benefit from visual components (maybe an accompanying PDF or something) so that it is easier to follow the story. I fell off halfway through the book, but still finished it. I think this book would make a beautiful video game.

Wow! Makes you wonder what might be going on in th
Enjoyed the reader’s voice changes for different characters but found her narrator voice blah at times. There were some odd gaps in the recording that should have been edited out. At times I didn’t realize that they were changing storylines, as there was no pause or note saying that they were changing whose perspective of the story was being told.
The storyline is very detailed with lots of different character perspectives being given, which adds depth to the storyline. Would love to see what happens to LISA next.

Very challenging book
It is a challenging book that requires alot of consciousness in listening. A book that makes the reader travel through a harrowing story of intrigue of imagination. A great book.

Great story but a little hard to follow
Riano D.McFarland wrote a great book. Maya Murphy did a good job on the narration but some times her voice was like She wasn’t into the story. It was a challenging book to follow sometimes and there was a lot of information they had to keep up with. it would probably make a good video game. It was interesting and entertaining. Someone who likes video games or anime would love this book.
