I felt so sorry for the MFC. She had the worst luck in everything. And from the way it ended she will keep having it. I will have to search and see if she ever gets a HEA. The narrator did a good job.

I've always like this story, for it depiction of Cryogenics (Cold Sleep). And how you deal with 62 years passing you by.
This story was excellent when it came out.

The narration was also excellent.

I hope more of it gets to audible. Great complex characters. A bit of sci fi, but mostly stories about beings.

Great series
