Cassia Vici is on a one-way trip to Saturn - to help humanity reach the stars.

A towering genius who'd already solved the problem of death by making memory recording possible, Cassia leads a team of scientists and problem solvers to a station floating in the harsh winds of Saturn. Their mission: to grow interstellar ships using nanobots in the planet's material-rich environment. She called them "monsters" to help sell the project to a skeptical public.

Little did she know how prophetic that name would become.

But an unexpected death seeds doubt among the team, putting the mission in jeopardy. As her team struggles to save the future, Cassia is haunted by her past - a wife and daughter who died in the very technology that made mind recording possible.

With time running out, Cassia and her crew will need one final miracle to build the monsters that could become both their savior - and their doom.

About the Performer

Amy Deuchler was born and raised in the Chicago area. She spent her childhood reading and performing in plays, so narrating audiobooks is the dream job for this librarian-theater nerd. She is currently a finalist for Best Mystery in the 2021 Independent Audiobook Awards, and was a finalist for Best Female Narrator and Best Mystery in 2020. Her voice is warm, intuitive, and clever, described by listeners as "a very smooth voice" and "a delightful tone."
When not narrating, Deuchler can be found designing lights and scenery for theater, doing any kind of handmade craft, and biking. She also loves to spend time exploring the Milwaukee/Chicago area with her boyfriend and doting on their three cats.

I thought it was great! I wasn't sure where it was going, at first, but that was just part of the excitement. The narration was extremely helpful for story visualization.

This was a good story, not great. It was kind of corny and predictable in some spots. The narrator was OK. She was kind of hard to believe and lacked a little emotion in some parts of the story.

Good idea for a story

Not hard science but just fun. A good original concept story that made for a nice listen. narrator did an excellent job. I would read something written by this author again based on this work.

A fun, intersting read

It’s a start. Reading the other reviews before I listened, I figured maybe they were being overly picky. Mmm, not really. The best analogy I can come up with is that it’s like a daytime soap opera about liberal women astronauts with a smattering of space stuff added as background; it only comes to the forefront right at the end. To be honest, I’d have bet that it had been written by a woman, since nearly the entire story is women-centric. That’s fine, but I think most readers expected real sci-fi and not a daytime drama.

Yeah, well

A love story, a horror story, a scifi story, all rolled into a taut package. Thoroughly enjoyable.

What a delight

Steamy lesbian romance set in space. Lots of meaningless scientific sounding words with no science behind them.

More romantic than sci-fi.

This is a difficult story but I gave it 5 stars. My imagination was captured and I was so immersed. I know it is just a fiction invented by the author, but I was involved as if it was real. I had to keep listening feeling like I was finding out a true story.

If I had known before I started what kind of story I was going to hear, I would not have started listening. A team of scientists and engineers volunteers to work on Saturn knowing the radiation will kill them. They leave earth to go die on Saturn.

Tragic but so creative

I enjoyed the story and the performance but find absolutely no need for all of the foul language. I'll find a different author that doesn't feel the need to pull the story into the gutter.

Liked the concept
