About this listen
Regina, trained to find the dregs of humanity, trained to kill, is forced into vacation because her peers are getting murdered.
At first, the massive cruise vessel she chooses as her resort destination seems...tolerable, and then, in the span of a few hours, everyone disappears, thousands of passengers vanish.
As Regina explores the ship, not only does she discover pile after pile of clothing and no bodies, she finds a fear not felt for years. Although she cannot know for certain something is there, an ominous orange light appearing out of nowhere leaves little doubt some unseen thing hunts her. And all that is just the beginning.
It is a time of restricted space travel so enforced that almost nobody can veer off course, but nobody knows why. They're about to find out.
Get ready for a sci-fi/horror/thriller roller-coaster ride.
Author's note: This novel contains strong language, violence, and a sexually described event. If this novel were a movie, it would be rated R.

And he might just have to take the biggest chance of his life if he wants to survive.

Story
When the biggest colony ship in human history was sent to settle a paradise world, an accident hurtled it deep into uncharted space. A thousand light years from Earth, with no way home and no way to call for help, the colonists’ only hope for survival was the one barely habitable planet in range, a nightmare world they named Croatoan. Landing on the only five mountain peaks tall enough to rise above the lethal acid clouds, the settlers carved a civilization from the rock.

Two hundred years ago, aliens invaded Earth. A violent war followed. The enemy won. Some of us escaped, most of us didn’t. On Proxima they flourished - the invasion forgotten. On Earth we floundered - the horror began. Their world is advanced, peaceful, and secure. Our world is broken, savage, and overrun. A new invasion is coming. A hunger that has swallowed half the universe. They don’t care which planet we live on. They want to end us all. But where there is life, there is hope. And where there is hope, there are heroes. This time, vengeance will be ours.

I had to think about this review for a few days
- By kingbobii on 07-11-19

Second, the ending of the book seemed to veer into another story entirely (with full-on plot action/tension that was unrelated to the alien menace that consumed nearly all of the main story). It was like the ending of the main story should have been the the opening scene of the sequel - it seemed out of place at the ending of the main story. In other words, it seemed to me that there were two separate stories happening with our heroine in the book. The places where the two stories merged was at the beginning (giving us the circumstances for her being on the ship in the first place), and her violent encounters on the ship with the henchmen. To me, the alien story was the predominant one by far. But at the very end of the story, suddenly the other story thread came back to life in a big way, and then the book ended. I don't know, to me it just seemed like the flow/balance/pacing suddenly went out of whack at the end. I'm not a fan of cliffhangers, but maybe a more subtle cliffhanger would have fit better, with the full-on violent scene at the very end to be placed at the beginning of the sequel. Anyway, the heroine and secondary characters are interesting, as is the potential for a sequel. I'd be curious to see how she eventually (in a sequel) deals with the threat from the secondary plot line in this book. There's also the hint that romance might be in store for the heroine, and I like that kind of tension, too.
The narration was good. I think my personal preference is for more resonant narration voices, but this narrator did a good job with dialogue as well as exposition.

While I wouldn’t say the writing was bad in any sense, I just couldn’t get into it. The narrator was alright but didn’t stand out much either. The majority of the time I was listening, I was just waiting for anything interesting to happen.
If you really enjoy SciFi stories, maybe this will be for you. I’m going to give it my middle rating because it wasn’t bad, but it just wasn’t for me.

I am grateful to the rights holder of Surviving the Theseus for freely gifting me with a complimentary copy via Audiobook Boom at my request. Thank you so much. I thoroughly enjoyed the unusual and action packed sfory and immediately looked for a sequel. The book certainly makes this a future possibility but, as yet, to my knowledge, none has been written. Come on, Mr.Noble, more of Regina, p!ease.
A definite recommendation for all S.F.fans as well as readers who enjoy a good, atmospheric tbriller.

The beginning of this book has a somewhat slow start that leaves one a little confused but clears up a little way into the book. When it clears up, it becomes a fast-paced book that keeps the action going. The author, Randy Noble, has a writing style that is relaxed and draws you in. Noble has a good handle on what makes a character likable and what doesn’t. Further, he provides descriptions that are rich and vivid.
The narrator, Michelle Marie, did a good job of narration. She spoke clearly and smoothly, providing the listener with the appropriate voice intonations for the action going on. Poised and calming, she gave a solid performance.
This is a good science-fiction thriller. The only downside of this book is that the ending is rather abrupt and unexpected.
There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook, it was clear and well produced.

Ever notice how some vacations never turn out the way you expected? Looking back you call them adventures, and that is what happens here. Regina a SOAD Officer wakes to find an empty resort ship and the adventure begins. Mystery piles on Mystery, weaving a complex and wonderful plotline, that is engrossing and intriguing at the same time. Where have all the people gone, why are clothes littering the ship, what is the orange light that keeps showing up, first on the holodeck and then elsewhere. Well to find out you are going to have to sit back and read or listen to this book. You won't be sorry and it will likely become a favorite of yours rapidly.
I had this as an Audible ARC, and while I am not a SciFi aficionado, I was truly delighted with this story and the narrator. She did a wonderful job of differentiating the various voices and putting action and sound effects where they were warranted.
