Publisher's summary

This psychological sci-fi thriller from a debut author follows one doctor who must discover the source of her crew's madness...or risk succumbing to it herself.

Misanthropic psychologist Dr. Grace Park is placed on the Deucalion, a survey ship headed to an icy planet in an unexplored galaxy. Her purpose is to observe the thirteen human crew members aboard the ship - all specialists in their own fields - as they assess the colonization potential of the planet, Eos. But frictions develop as Park befriends the androids of the ship, preferring their company over the baffling complexity of humans, while the rest of the crew treats them with suspicion and even outright hostility.

Shortly after landing, the crew finds themselves trapped on the ship by a radiation storm, with no means of communication or escape until it passes - and that’s when things begin to fall apart. Park’s patients are falling prey to waking nightmares of helpless, tongueless insanity. The androids are behaving strangely. There are no windows aboard the ship. Paranoia is closing in, and soon Park is forced to confront the fact that nothing - neither her crew, nor their mission, nor the mysterious Eos itself - is as it seems.

Hard sci-fi?

the author lacks knowledge of space. Destination? "the next galaxy" and an uncharted planet in the next galaxy... her lips became chapped in the ship because of the vacuum of space? dry ship air? sure, but not the vacuum of space.
that being said the story was good and the author is good. the narrator is very good.

The story was very interesting to follow. It builds on itself making you think.

Don't Bother

That's several hours of listening I'll never get back. Uninteresting predictable plot. 2 dimensional characters. Repetitive and redundant. Bland at best. Don't waste your time.

Amazing story with a bit of a let down ending.

The story itself was fantastic and I enjoyed all of it. The ending was a tad bit of a let down and just seemed like the author just wanted to get it over with.

Very creative

This was a wonderful tale, with unexpected turns. Lots of heart and science, too. A great story of a misfit who comes into her own.

A Fun, Thrilling Ride.

A great science-fiction story. I definitely could’ve lived in this world for a longer time, it didn’t wear out it’s welcome.

Catherine Ho gave a great performance, especially with Dr. Grace Park. She got the character and this is a better audio book because of it.

Lena Nguyen came out swinging with her debut. I’m going to be following wherever her stories takes me for quite a while.

Quantum physics and the folding of time and space

I enjoyed the references to the singularity. Also the evolution and merging of AI and human consciousness.

truly phenomenal

Story, characters, narration, unfolding mystery, sci fi shenanigans... all absolutely flawless. Deserves every single positive review I've heard about it, and I wish I could read it for the first time again.
