I have been listening to audio books, plays and the like since I was a child, which was a LONG time ago. Does that make me an expert?

    Telescopes on Earth have detected an Earth-sized planet circling a star some 30 light-years away. Now the race is on to get pictures of that distant world that show whether or not the planet is truly like Earth - and if it bears life. Farside observatory will have the largest optical telescope in the solar system and the most sensitive radio telescope, insulated from the interference of Earth’s radio chatter by a thousand kilometers of the moon’s solid body. But building Farside is a complex, dangerous task. And what they ultimately find stuns everyone, and humanity will never be the same.

    G. House Sr. says: "Great plot, Excellent Narration, Must Read!"
    "Not too far to want to pick it and enjoy"

    Would you listen to Farside again? Why?

    I don't make a habit of listening to BOT twice.


    If you’ve listened to books by Ben Bova before, how does this one compare?

    Shockingly, this is my first time with Ben Bova, but certainly won't be the last!


    What does Stefan Rudnicki bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    His accents and innonation are outstanding. Truly on of the better narrators on audible IMHO.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    Farside: Lunar Deception


    Any additional comments?

    This is an excellent introduction to Ben Bova, from what I can tell. The ending is a bit clunky, but overall recommend this to true sci fi fans.
