Jeff Hirsch, the mastermind behind such dark YA dystopias as The Eleventh Plague and The Darkest Hour, goes interstellar with Sovereign, a middle grade Audible Original voiced by Jesse Einstein, who listeners have called first-rate.
Micah Cole has been in deep space for four years now. While his parents chase their obsession with finding intelligent life deeper and deeper into the universe, Micah can’t help but dream of the friends he’s left behind and counts the days until the family returns to Earth. When a devastating meteor shower nearly destroys the Coles’s ship, Micah is separated from his family and stranded alone on Sovereign—a vast planet of raging rivers and towering forests. If Micah ever wants to see his family or his home again, he’ll have to learn how to survive on this hostile alien world. Armed with only his wits and determination, he’ll have to battle the elements, his own deepest fears, and a strange presence that might just hold the key to his parents’ obsession—and be his ticket back home.

Our favorite moments from Sovereign
Grab your protein pack and put your helmet on
Planning to land on an unexplored planet with your family is one thing, crash landing without your parents is something completely different. This middle grade adventure reminds me of some of my favorite survival stories—think The Martian meets Hatchet. The narrator, Jesse Einstein vividly expresses all of the wonder, anxiety, and bravery that Micah (our space castaway) experiences on every step of his unplanned adventure—and he made me feel like I should probably invest in my own space survival kit…just in case. And to top things off, lucky for Audible members this month, there's no credit required to listen.

1st book on Audible

The story is good enough to listen to while doing housework or something. Nothing new or particularly gripping but not bad. Its not at all like either 'hatchet' or the 'Martian' though.
The narrator on the other hand is pretty bad. 'dorf suns', 'dorf planets' you get the idea.

As an Audible Original, I am super disappointed at the lack of grammatical editing. The word "sank" is still the past tense of "sink", and "lie-lay-laid" should be clear to you all. If not, I expect you to pay me.
The narration is mostly good with just a few missteps.
Yeah, better as a youth novel
