About this listen
From New York Times bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson comes Nether Station, a thrilling mix of epic science fiction and Lovecraftian horror.
Space is vast. Space is full of wonders. Space is terrifying.
In the darkest part of the solar system lies a wormhole. Nether.
Astrophysicist Cammie Skoura has joined the first research team traveling to the Nether anomaly, eager to understand the mechanics of the wormhole and to explore its possibilities as a shortcut to Alpha Centauri.
But another race of ancient beings has already been here—an impossibly long time ago—leaving remnants of their vast complexes and gigantic temples built for horrific beings beyond comprehension.
What dangers did those elder races find in the hidden corners of spacetime?
What did they unleash?
And what remains?
Now, Cammie and the crew of Nether Station must find the answers—before the darkest part of the cosmos swallows them up …

Story
No longer bound to Earth or the Core Sol System, the human race has expanded into the far beyond, seeding itself throughout the final frontier. It has been a time of great expansion, hope, and progress. These remote colonies, some found at the fringes of the Outer Rim, rely on supplies brought to them by deep-space commercial shipping vessels, which transport the needed goods and commodities to keep humanity alive and thriving in the most remote and austere locations.

Story
Under 30,000 feet of water, the experimental exploration rig Leaguer has discovered an oil field larger than Saudi Arabia, with oil so sweet and pure, nations would go to war for the rights to it. But as the team starts drilling exploration well after exploration well in their race to claim the sweet crude, a deep rumbling beneath the ocean floor shakes them all to their core. Something has been living in the oil and it's about to give birth to the greatest threat humanity has ever seen.

Story
The Hygrometric Dehabitation Region, or the "Zone," is a growing band of rainforest on the equator, where the heat and humidity make it impossible for warm-blooded animals to survive. A human being without protection in the Zone is dead in minutes. Twenty years ago, Marks went into the rainforest with a group of researchers led by Doctor Elaine Fell, to study the extraordinary climate and see if it could be used in agriculture. The only thing she learned was that the Zone was no place for people. There were deaths, and the program was cut short. Now, they're sending her back in.

Instead, he’s the pilot of the Mosaic—a massive ship taking the Interstellar Union’s first-ever mission to outside our solar system. Timony should have been the best spy at the Bazaar, the lunar colony’s international intelligence arm. Instead, she’s been demoted to admin duties like monitoring long-range communications. She has no one to blame but herself—and maybe Carriles.

Psychologist Dr. Ophelia Bray has dedicated her life to the study and prevention of ERS—a space-based condition most famous for a case that resulted in the brutal murders of twenty-nine people. When she's assigned to a small exploration crew, she's eager to make a difference. But as they begin to establish residency on an abandoned planet, it becomes clear that crew is hiding something. While Ophelia focuses on her new role, her crewmates are far more interested in investigating the eerie, ancient planet and unraveling the mystery behind the previous colonizer's hasty departure.

Story
When Rab was a baby, his mother made a decision which would change his life. She feared he would be sent to work in the hellish mines of Mercury, to eke out his life until he was worn out, all in the name of maintaining the defense of the Solar System. But when her desperate attempt to flee with her 2 year old failed, she took a desperate step to save him. She cut off his hand. Decades later, Rab has been spared the physical hardships he can no longer endure, and is now based on the Mask, the all-encompassing structure which hides the Solar System from alien eyes.

If life were fair, ace pilot Jose Carriles should have ended up a desk jockey like his former friend Corin Timony, back on the lunar colony of New Destiny. Instead, he’s the pilot of the Mosaic—a massive ship taking the Interstellar Union’s first-ever mission to outside our solar system. Timony should have been the best spy at the Bazaar, the lunar colony’s international intelligence arm. Instead, she’s been demoted to admin duties like monitoring long-range communications. She has no one to blame but herself—and maybe Carriles.

Wormhole at the edge of the solar system
Kevin J Anderson’s Nether Station explores an anomaly at the edge of our solar system that appears to be a wormhole to Alpha Centari after a probe goes missing but sends a message back to Earth at a later date as if it had been instantaneously transported to Alpha Centari. A team led by a tech billionaire goes out to investigate and that’s where the trouble begins. The majority of the crew cannot be revived from their cyrosleep pods after the senior physicist dies in the process. Science duties fall to a younger, autistic scientist. Alien lifeforms are found around elaborate structures, and a story emerges that rather than a transportation hub, this station is defensive in nature against a powerful, dangerous entity.
Anderson offers an interesting sci-fi concept piece with alien technology operating at the edge of our solar system. Character motivations are a bit underwhelming with an autistic female physicist who is clueless about the romantic inclinations of her mentor as well as the tech billionaire who seems to imagine a huge trading opportunity with the other end of the wormhole.
Narration is excellent with solid character distinction. Pacing is smooth and a tad brisk.

Need sequel!
It was good, a lot of fun, I love anything lovrcraftian and so much of it is pretty terrible so I pounced on this book. Decent characters. Not so blindingly stupid you want to kill then off yourself. Interesting ending. Definitely set up for another book or a series. Can’t wait!

Idealism versus Capitalism
A fun but predictable story. A Bermuda Triangle. A motley crew of archetypes uncover its secrets soulless industrialist, corporate soldier, pure scientist, jock, flyboy. It’s hard to see this story gaining traction without adding dimension to the surviving crew. However, I’m locked in because Andersen can tell a good story, even if you’ve heard it before.

The story is really interesting
You can't go wrong with K. Anderson really. As for what the story itself was like, very Event Horizon meets The Call of Cthulhu. My main issue with this was the performance. I've been listening to Scott Brick for years and I feel like his slightly older performances like The Passage or The Edge of the World just made more sense. The pronunciation and intonation of his former works made the story being told feel less like a performance and more like a world you were apart of. Brick's newer narrations such as this or Cronin's "The Ferryman" are too grandiose. There's too little humanity, they lack a sense of shared reality. His voice has deepened over the years sure but his inflection used to feel more realistic. But the book by its self is great and I will be ordering a hardcover copy for sure!
