Arkship Obsidian

The Arkship Saga, Book 1

De: Niel Bushnell

Narrado por: Mike Robinson

"Dune meets Battlestar Galactica, with a pinch of Asimov thrown in for good measure."

Earth has been destroyed, the entire solar system turned to dust by a cataclysmic event known as the Fracture. Now, the last survivors of humanity live on vast arkships drifting through the Cluster, doing what they can to survive in a hostile ever-changing environment.

When the arkship Obsidian is attacked, Wynn awakes in an escape pod fleeing from a huge space battle, unable to remember who he is. Hunted by a killer robot, the forces of a rival arkship, and the Church of the Infinite, Wynn must survive long enough to unlock his lost memories, discover who is behind the attack and take his revenge.

Arkship Obsidian is the first in an epic new series from acclaimed British writer Niel Bushnell.

Worth a listen!

Any additional comments?

I liked it. I am looking forward to the second book when it comes out.

The future

I have never really been interested in sci-fi but for some reason this book had my attention from the beginning to the end. Reading the book and watching a show on TV set 250 years in the future makes me realize its a nice place to visit but I wouldn’t want to live there.
All the war ships fighting its worse in the future but at least they still have romance. This book had a little bit of mystery murder romance mind erasing hatred and an asteroid that had been hollowed out and people were living inside like it was earth.
I received this free for an honest review from the author or narrator.

Space adventure

You wake up without your memories in the aftermath of a battle. That's what happened to the main character. He was so relateable that I wanted to follow his story and kept listening to the book until I was finished. I love to listen to books while I'm at the gym and I stayed a lot longer than I planned just so I could keep listening to the book. The story flowed really well and the narration was amazing and kept a perfect pace. I really want to listen to the next book and I hope the narrator stays the say because I thoroughly enjoyed him. This is a great listen if you enjoy Sci-fi.

This review copy audiobook was provided by the author/narrator/publisher free of charge.

Great Story!

I received this audio book for free in exchange for my honest review. This is a very well written story with excellent narration. I loved it and you will too.

Very good!

Arkship Obsidian is a very good book. I was captivated with the story from the very beginning and it held my attention clear to the end. Actually, I was disappointed that it did end...I wasn't ready to move on. I loved the fantastic descriptions of the ships, how they worked and, especially the 'ship's' personality. Lexicon has a very entertaining personality. I enjoyed the story of each character and was saddened when some didn't make it. I would have liked to have more background on what happened to Earth and the other planets. I felt that was the only thing missing...hopefully, those explanations will come with the other books in the Saga.
Mike Robinson does a very good job of narrating the story. His way of speaking, the rise and fall of the narration, has a good flow. His character voices are right on, in my opinion, of their personalities. I am always impressed when a narrator is able to do that.
I enjoyed the entire experience.
