Publisher's summary
“Too bad 21st century telescopes were poorly designed & the supposedly habitable planets found were actually desolate.”
Elton Cuauhtemoc John is taken hostage before he can start his dream job. Now, he & a multicultural science team are racing against humans’ inevitable self imposed demise to invent an Faster Than Light phone. After all, how useful is another Earth after civilization collapses?
Civilization goes through cycles. Humanity’s First Test explores how humans will react to encountering a similarly advanced alien civilization. With a supremely powerful AI predicting world events, humans must navigate through internal struggles, new challenges & interference from a new galactic neighbor. Will we default to old habits of conquest & exploit or will we move beyond to a galactically inclusive society and pass our first test?

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Story
In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

He has no recollection of how or why he ended up here, hundreds of years in the future, crashing down to the planet Mars. It has apparently been 185 years since the Earth went "silent."

Everything would go well, money from successfully completed contracts would flow like water into his bank accounts, and everything would be as easy as it had been for him when he’d owned a chain of highly successful restaurants.

Intriguing, Fresh
Humanity is faced with relocating and limited tools to discover other earth like options. Humanity’s race to create a new device to find truly viable and habitable worlds, working with AI, new challenges, and facing adaptations is just beginning.
The author, Ignacio Ramirez Bautista, slowly builds the narrative outlining in great detail the different cycles and generations of folks reaching to solve the problem faced by humanity from different points of view. The storyline revisits familiar premises but adds intriguing twists and concepts, making it engaging and fresh. For instance, the concept of sending humans out on an exploratory mission with the crew not knowing they cannot return or discover a viable planet before their demise in space adds a unique dimension not previously explored. The characters are well-developed and further the narrative smoothly. The dialogue is rich and provides further depth to the narrative and characters.
Kaitlyn Craft, the narrator, provides a rich experience for the listener. Her delivery is flawless, she projects appropriate levels of energy and appropriately placed inflections. She transitions from each character smoothly. Given the epic length of this book, she did an amazing job of consistency and moving the story forward at a steady pace.
This is an interesting book that keeps the listener engaged and thinking. I would have preferred and appreciated having it in multiple books rather than in one epic-length production as it becomes too much at once.

This narrator needs to narrate my life!
Space operas aren't my speed personally. The author wrote the story well. But, the narrator was absolutely amazing! She was not dull or monotone. Her inflections and character transitions were spot on.

Great Story & Even Better Narration
the book starts a bit slow like classicsci fi but it quickly sleeds up and the world building being integrated into the character's lives makes the story fuller.
there are sections of more telling but that seems necessary when the storyspands 80 ish years and several povs.
i love that the simple promise of the main character was delivered and the new promise was more difficult. then that promise is fulfilled and another, the main promise of the book is presentand fulfilled.
this definitely has more classic sci fi influence but the concepts are fresh and one of the main plots -ftl phone invention is very new and I'm glad this is not glossed over
you could argue the ending has some weird outcomes. i definitely wasn't expecting those.
can't wait for the second book!
narration- she has a great voice and varied talent. what other books has she read? she definitely made the story come alive
