About this listen

In book two of The Colony Ship Conestoga series, Jerome and Cammarry, the adventurers from Earth, are trapped on the wrecked derelict of the once-enormous generational ship. It is in orbit around a mysterious and unknown planet, but most of its systems have failed, and life is barely managing to survive. All eight of the huge biological habitats, the places where food and people were to thrive, are missing. Did they make planet fall? Were they destroyed? Where are the people who once populated the Colony Ship Conestoga?

Cammarry and Jerome, along with Sandie, their artificial intelligence system, work to investigate the wreck. What will they discover? What dangers await? Are they marooned on the Conestoga? Can they find some way to escape? And if there is a way to escape, where do they go?

Good book, but narrator is irritating

As a fan of John Thornton's books, I appreciate his gift of writing. But he (or whoever chooses narrators), should really give some serious thought as to who narrates his books. It was painful getting through books one and two.

THEN..."Eureka!"... just as I was about to give up on the series, I listened to book 3 and this beautiful, professional actress stole my heart! I was so happy that Thornton finally found a great narrator. After I finished book 3, I was equally thrilled to hear the same narrator on book four. But, alas, for whatever reason, Lauren Holladay, the narrator disappeared from the rest of the books after book 4. If the narrators are grating on your nerves, stay with it at least through book 4. I'm ditching the series after that unless he gets some decent talent to narrate his books.
What a pity.

Stronger than book 1.

Would you consider the audio edition of Marooned on the Conestoga to be better than the print version?

Yes the audio version is superior, and is enhanced by the listening experience.

What other book might you compare Marooned on the Conestoga to and why?

None spring to mind, I find this series to be unique and original.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Paul Hikari?

Maybe, his performance in this book was in places a little harsh and grating.
But I would still try another book narrated by him - if it was a book that was on my list to read.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No I found this book neither sad or funny.

Any additional comments?

Second book in the series - and the action and story are hotting up.
The series is going from strength to strength and I have already started on book 3.

I received a free copy at my own request and have voluntarily left this honest review.

Don’t you dare give up.

When I got this book I was troubled that there was a new narrator, and when I first started listening I didn’t think I liked his voice. But I love this series so much I couldn’t stop listening. By the end of the book I couldn’t believe I thought I didn’t like Paul Hilari’s voice. As for the book, it is a wonderful continuation of the conestoga series.

John Thornton continues to deliver adventure

The continuing adventures of Jerome and Camerry on the wreck that is the Conestoga keep the reader on their toes. Our heros search for answers and each other as they make their way through the needle ship and down to one of the habitats that made planet fall. It seems each answer just leads to more questions and a little more adventure than they bargained for. Over all an enjoyable read.

Good story, bad narrator

This is a continuation of a good story but the narrator is painfully bad. It sounds like a lispy high school production. Listen to a sample first to see if it will bother you, my kid with braces is more clear but maybe it won't bother you.
