Acerca de esta escucha
Disaster movie 2012 meets Moon in this thrilling story full of scientific advancements.
The Destroyer of Earth did not set out to be one. A perfect storm of catastrophes, a touch of hubris, and a lot of human ingenuity, and you get yourself deeper than ever. The button has been pressed, the world is in ruins. Will humanity figure out how to survive?
What is Antigravel? What did you think was the road-stop for man to explore the empty reaches of space? Faster than light travel? Interstellar navigation? Time dilation?
Puh. We beat all that by sheer force of will. No. It was micrometeoroids. Rocks. F--king space rocks.

Fifteen years later, a hurriedly built spacecraft sets out on the long journey to the ringed planet and its moon. The international crew is not just facing a difficult twenty-seven months: if the spacecraft manages to make it to Enceladus without incident it must use a drillship to penetrate the kilometer-thick sheet of ice that entombs the moon.

In the year 2031, a robot probe detects traces of biological activity on Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons. This sensational discovery shows that there is indeed evidence of extraterrestrial life. Fifteen years later, a hurriedly built spacecraft sets out on the long journey to the ringed planet and its moon. The international crew is not just facing a difficult twenty-seven months: if the spacecraft manages to make it to Enceladus without incident it must use a drillship to penetrate the kilometer-thick sheet of ice that entombs the moon.

Reporter Sam Kean reveals the periodic table as it’s never been seen before. Not only is it one of man's crowning scientific achievements, it's also a treasure trove of stories of passion, adventure, betrayal, and obsession. The infectious tales and astounding details in The Disappearing Spoon follow carbon, neon, silicon, and gold as they play out their parts in human history, finance, mythology, war, the arts, poison, and the lives of the (frequently) mad scientists who discovered them.

Bill Bryson has been an enormously popular author both for his travel books and for his books on the English language. Now, this beloved comic genius turns his attention to science. Although he doesn't know anything about the subject (at first), he is eager to learn, and takes information that he gets from the world's leading experts and explains it to us in a way that makes it exciting and relevant.

You can touch any button, except THAT ONE!!!!
Saoulidis is one of those writers that should have been around during the era of the twilight zone. He'd have fit right in that era. This is one of those types of stories I could see Sterling smoking a cigarette and saying, "Imagine a time when man's arrogance outstripped his cautiousness . . ."
I love short cautionary tales like this, in which a man's reach exceeds his grasp. The best part is the scientist's punishment for all the death and destruction he has caused. That is pure Twilight Zone. The story itself is smart, and well paced and will leave you wondering about mankind's ability to adapt to new situations.
Greg Young's narration is very well done and he makes it seem like it is his story that he is telling, and not simply reading from a script. Even though I did receive a promo code for this review it in no way influenced my considerations of the material, and in fact, inspired me to be more honest. In fact, getting a code generally makes me harsher as a reviewer as I am more often concerned what someone like Me will decide based on my review.
If this review helped, please press the YES below. Thank you immensely!!!

Imaginative
This is the sixth book/story I’ve read/listened to by this author and I have a long list of his books waiting.
This one is an imaginative, short listen.
I like the moon quake experiments and attempts to counteract them. It had an unfortunate result however.
This is the first book I’ve listened to by this narrator ( Greg Young ) and I would listen to another. He did well narrating this book With the right amount of dramatic flair.
There are no explicit sex scenes, excessive violence or swearing.
