Resumen del Editor
It wasn't easy for Molly being the only girl in Flight Academy, but getting expelled was even worse. Abandoned by her family when she was young and now tossed from the only home she's ever known, her future looks bleak.
But then Molly hears that her father's old starship has turned up halfway across the galaxy. Setting off to retrieve the old craft, she hopes it will hold clues to his disappearance. Accompanying her as a chaperone is Cole, her old flight partner from the Academy.
Molly can't believe it. She's now the proud owner of her own starship. Her spring break is going to be spent traveling across the galaxy with a cute boy. Could things possibly get any better?
Little does Molly know, they are about to get much, much worse....

Historia
For centuries, men and women have manned lighthouses to ensure the safe passage of ships. It is a lonely job and a thankless one for the most part. Until something goes wrong. Until a ship is in distress. In the twenty-third century, this job has moved into outer space. A network of beacons allows ships to travel across the Milky Way at many times the speed of light. These beacons are built to be robust. They never break down. They never fail. At least, they aren’t supposed to.

Historia
The old world is buried. A new one has been forged atop the shifting dunes. Here in this land of howling wind and infernal sand, four siblings find themselves scattered and lost. Their father was a sand diver, one of the elite few who could travel deep beneath the desert floor and bring up the relics and scraps that keep their people alive. But their father is gone. And the world he left behind might be next.

The world outside has grown toxic, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. The remnants of humanity live underground in a single silo. But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they want: They are allowed to go outside.

Historia
This book contains foul language and fouler descriptions of life as a zombie. It will offend most anyone, so proceed with caution or not at all. And be forewarned: This is not a zombie book. This is a different sort of tale. It is a story about the unfortunate, about those who did not get away. It is a human story at its rotten heart. It is the reason we can't stop obsessing about these creatures, in whom we see all too much of ourselves.

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.

Historia
When an experiment to study quantum uncertainty goes spectacularly wrong, physics student Bill Rustad and his friends find that they have accidentally created an inter-dimensional portal. They connect to Outland - an alternate Earth with identical geology, but where humans never evolved. The group races to establish control of the portal before the government, the military, or evildoers can take it away. Then everything changes when the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts in an explosion large enough to destroy civilization and kill half the planet.

Dr. Tyson Klein is a quantum physicist who has dedicated his entire life to his research. At CERN, he analyses data generated by the Large Hadron Collider, the world's biggest and most powerful particle accelerator. Now, Ty believes he's found a pattern in its output. It looks like an organised data stream, being broadcast over what he calls a quantum radio. Could it be a signal from another universe? A message sent from the future? Or something else entirely?

Historia
Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to out charm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute. The odds are against him. He’s been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low.

The ice is coming. It was the last thing we expected, but the world is freezing. A new ice age has dawned. Billions have fled the glaciers. A cataclysmic war is coming. In orbit, a group of scientists are running the Winter Experiments, a last-ditch attempt to understand why the planet is cooling. None of the climate models they build make sense. But then they discover an anomaly, an unexplained variation in solar radiation...and something else. Close to the burning edge of the sun, they catch a fleeting glimpse of something that shouldn’t be there....

Hotshot pilot Nax Hall has a history of making poor life choices. So it’s not exactly a surprise when he’s kicked out of the elite Ellis Station Academy in less than 24 hours. But Nax’s one-way trip back to Earth is cut short when a terrorist group attacks the Academy. Nax and three other washouts escape - barely - but they’re also the sole witnesses to the biggest crime in the history of space colonization. And the perfect scapegoats. On the run, Nax and his fellow failures plan to pull off a dangerous heist to spread the truth.

In his time, Earth is a toxic, abandoned world, and humans have fled into the outer solar system to survive, eking out a fragile, doomed existence among the other planets and their moons. Those responsible for delaying humanity's demise believe time travel holds the key, and they have identified James, troubled though he is, as one of a select and expendable few ideally suited for the most dangerous job in history.

Historia
Famine. Death. War. Pestilence. These are the harbingers of the biblical apocalypse, of the End of the World. In science fiction, the end is triggered by less figurative means: nuclear holocaust, biological warfare/pandemic, ecological disaster, or cosmological cataclysm. But before any catastrophe, there are people who see it coming. During, there are heroes who fight against it. And after, there are the survivors who persevere and try to rebuild. THE APOCALYPSE TRIPTYCH will tell their stories. Edited by acclaimed anthologist John Joseph Adams and bestselling author Hugh Howey, THE APOCALYPSE TRIPTYCH is a series of three anthologies of apocalyptic fiction. THE END IS NIGH focuses on life before the apocalypse. THE END IS NOW turns its attention to life during the apocalypse. And THE END HAS COME focuses on life after the apocalypse.

This book contains foul language and fouler descriptions of life as a zombie. It will offend most anyone, so proceed with caution or not at all. And be forewarned: This is not a zombie book. This is a different sort of tale. It is a story about the unfortunate, about those who did not get away. It is a human story at its rotten heart. It is the reason we can't stop obsessing about these creatures, in whom we see all too much of ourselves.

The book was good although a bit to pat just running one direction and uncovering a whole new planet, picking up stray kids along the trail. but on the other hand I am buying the next book right now, so that must tell you Huge Howey is always Huge Howey and he just pulls you I with every writing

No Wool, but not bad
If I remember correctly, this is Hugh Howey's first book, and it shows. The writing lacks the finesse and style of his later work, yet he still somehow manages to hook me with a compelling story. It reads like a young adult novel, but is not saturated with unrequited teen love angst. Molly is mature, yet naive about the real world, as you would expect a former Naval Academy student to be. He drops in just enough reminders that she's just a teenager without making her seem like a typical teenager. By the end, I was hooked and I have already added the second book to my library.
The narrator leaves much to be desired. As others have mentioned, her voice is breathy and there are awkward pauses and pacing. Her intonation in places makes you question the characters motives. She doesn't create enough of a difference in voices, so it's hard in certain parts to know who is speaking. She pronounces "chaff" incorrectly, which drove me up a wall. I'd forgive one or two occurrences, but the use of chaff and the aftermath comes up throughout the book, and in a battle scene it was distracting enough to ruin the tension for me. Most people probably won't even notice, but it bugged me. I hope the new narrator in the next book is better.

Derivative YA Space Opera
Like others who reviewed this book, I came to Molly Fyde after having read and/or listened to the Wool series and the Sand series. If you’re like me you might end up dissatisfied - it is clear that this was written earlier in Howey’s career.
The core concepts and characters feel largely derivative of other well-known works or use worn tropes. It makes the entire piece come off as a YA novel. This isn’t necessarily bad - my kids might enjoy it - but if you’re already well read then you might find the story disappointing when compared with Hugh Howey’s other works.
If you want something original, exciting and thought provoking, look elsewhere.

Definitely juvenile
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I am used to the quality of David Weber and Clive Cussler. This book is a waste of time. The story is very repetitive.
What was most disappointing about Hugh Howey’s story?
Slow moving and repetitive
What about Jennette Selig’s performance did you like?
Very good reader. Makes the story as interesting as possivle.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Not a chance.

An absolutely wonderful book.
I had just finished listening to the Scorch Trials and I was feeling a bit down emotionally after it had finished. I needed a book with a slightly different and lighter atmosphere. This book was exactly what the doctor ordered to cheer me back up again. It was an absolutely wonderful pleasure to listen to it. Great story line with more than enough mystery to keep me intrigued but not overwhelmed. I am so looking forwards to book two in the series. I really feel for the characters and enjoy the sense of family that the main characters share with a light dash of romance thrown in to top it all off. Simply Brilliant.

poor narration
I disliked the reading a lot. This reader has a screechy and irritating voice. I forced myself to finish it. That involved a lot of skipping to the end of chapters. It took me months, maybe years to finally finish. I didn't care for the MC. She didn't meet an obstacle she couldn't overcome or someone save her. I also hated the attempt to justify genocide of an entire planet. A planet not at war. A plant with inhabitants who want to stay there. Those same inhabitants who aggresdively discourage off worlders. The killer justifies this because the inhabitants MIGHT decide to change this attitude. In doing so, the inhabitants MIGHT and succed in conquoring the universe. A mass murderer is a murderer. They use any reason for this. This same murderer describes his race as being nearly immortal. The only die from outside events. So how is he going to survive on that space station? He's going to run out of supplies. The equipment is going to wear out.

The Forced Was With Them
Before he wrote Wool, the groundbreaking self-published series about a dystopian future, which I have read in its entirety and loved, Hugh Howey's first book was Molly Fyde and the Parsona Rescue -- in fact, he wrote four entries in Molly Fyde's Bern series, plus two other novels, before Wool put him on the map. There was a reason it took that long for him to break through -- he was still cutting his teeth as a writer and wasn't really there yet, especially in the creativity department.
If it was me, I would not have published this book without first going through a rewrite (or two or three) and rethinking all of the incredibly derivative events. For example, after writing the opening section, I would have asked myself, where have I seen this before? An action sequence that turns out to be a training simulation for academy cadets bearing an Asian title. Oh yeah, Star Trek -- the Kobayashi Maru. Better rethink that and come up with something more original.
Then: A planet full of intelligent beings who resemble humanoid bears. Hmmm. Sounds like -- Wookies! OK, these guys are more intelligent than the dog-like Chewbacca (or at least what we thought was the intelligence level of Wookies before Solo), but still -- why write a species that is almost identical to one that was quite original when it first appeared in Star Wars? There are an infinite number of alternatives (no one has ever done intelligent giraffe-like humanoids, giraffes are actually far more intelligent than people realize), including those that may exist only within your own imagination. Why not get creative?
Similarly: Jump into hyperspace and suddenly, unexpectedly appear in an asteroid belt. Wait, this is no asteroid belt, this is the debris of what was until recently a planet! Seriously Hugh? Nothing more original came to mind? You didn't think about rewriting this when you went back and reread your first draft? Or did you never go back to rethink and rewrite your first draft? Did you think that no one has ever seen Star Wars?
There is not an ounce of originality here. This is just a plain vanilla space opera that is totally derivative of the seminal space opera, Star Wars. Guy and girl who pine for each other but refuse to admit it, accompanied by a metallic looking guy and a giant furry guy, ride their dilapidated space ship as they escape from one predicament just to fall directly into another, making totally unorthodox moves that somehow work out just right, and saving the free world(s) in the process. Seriously?
Even Howey's high concept ("a tale of a teenager from the 25th century who is repeatedly told that girls can't do certain things -- and then does them anyway") is embarrassingly unoriginal -- in Goodread's list of "Best Kick-Ass Female Characters From YA and Children's Fantasy and Science Fiction" in which Hunger Games is #1, Molly Fyde ranks down past #2000. Having been published after Hunger Games, it's almost laughable that Howey would promote it that way, as if he was the first person to think it up.
I listened to this book because I was so impressed by Howey's totally original Wool -- also set in a dystopian post-apocalyptic near-future, but a totally adult version, highly nuanced and texturally paced, a surprisingly creative entry in a crowded field. I knew going in that Molly Fyde was YA, but I still expected Howey to be original, unorthodox. I never once expected him to be so, so derivative, so shamelessly or obliviously derivative.
I once told a friend why I didn't like a particular movie, bashing it, as I have this book, for rehashing so many familiar characters and conventions and plot points from well known movies of the past. My friend's precocious ten-year-old son was listening in, and he cut me down to size by noting, quite correctly, that he was too young to have seen all those other movies, so this was his first experience with that type of movie, and he liked it.
Fair enough. Same could be true here. If you've never seen Star Wars or know nothing about it, maybe this will come off as an original work, maybe this will be your introduction to cadet simulations and hyperspace landings in asteroid fields and intelligent bear-like aliens and empowered girls. Otherwise, fuggedaboutit.

4 stars good characters with bad behavior
What I mean by my title is that the characters are initially described a certain way, and in the case of Cole sometimes throughout the book, but then their actions don't seem to back it up. Molly is described initially as a very strong woman but then her character makes a 180 even before she's gone anywhere, and then flops back to strong woman. Cole is constantly described by Molly as "paranoid" but I never detected a general paranoia in the writing beyond how a normal person would feel when they have evidence of what looks like a setup. It's kind of hard NOT to be paranoid in those circumstances. Hugh Howey is otherwise a great world builder and story teller. I'm not sure why these characters gave him such a hard time. The setting in the book is varied and sometimes deceptive. Culture shock and misunderstandings abound. Who do you trust? What happened to Molly's parents? Will she ever stop being a cadet and be honest with Cole about her feelings? The ending is a perfect lead-in for a sequel without feeling hokey. I will be adding this series to my wish list!
