Oxygen Farmer

De: Colin Holmes

Narrado por: Keith Szarabajka

Sabotage, murder, cover-ups. Just another day on the Moon.

After 35 years of living on the Moon, cranky old oxygen farmer Millennium Harrison has stumbled onto a hidden facility in the shadows of the Slayton Ridge Exclusion Zone with a radiation leak and a deadly secret. Mil's discovery leads to the death of a young astronaut, sabotage, murder, and cover-ups that may go all the way to the Chief Administrator of the space agency. Unfortunately, she happens to be Mil's estranged daughter, busy trying to secure her own legacy—the first international mission to Mars.

With time ticking down to a limited launch window, enemies, friends, and even family may do anything to ensure the truth doesn't come out. Or will history finally catch up with a deadly scheme that has the potential to destroy the moon and eradicate all life on Earth? It seems the planet’s only hope is a cantankerous guy who never really liked those people in the first place.

For those who enjoy 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke, Artemis by Andy Weir, MoonFall by Jack McDevitt.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Narrator Keith Szarabajka embodies the oddly charming Millennium 'Mil' Harrison, a grumpy ex-military man living on the moon whose oxygen farm is steadily being overtaken by more modern technology.... Szarabajka's character portrayals range from surly and gravelly Mil to the chillingly crisp Chief Space Administrator Bailey, with a wide array of international scientists and officious functionaries in between. He smoothly switches from the detailed scientific principles underlying the world-building to the exciting thriller elements that will sweep listeners up. This space adventure is reminiscent of classic science fiction." (AudioFile)

My favorite read of the year

I LOVED this book. It’s sort of like THE MARTIAN crossed with a touch of GRUMPY OLD MEN. Not that it’s a comedy, but the humor Millenium Harrison, the main character, brings to a serious story really sets this apart from others on the shelf. Loved the family drama, and the themes of self-sacrifice for the good of all really appealed to me. Meticulously researched, and the gravel-voiced guy reading this audiobook version did a great job. Highly recommend.

Very Good

Simple story with twists and turns. i hope for a longer book for the next adventure.

It could’ve been a lot better

The narrator was the worse I’ve heard and I have heard a lot of them. The creaky gravelly voice took over the story. I tried to power through but the gravelly creaky voice was all I heard . I don’t know what the story is about. Please redo this story with another better narrator. Try Bronson Pinchot or Kate Reading. Somebody else. It’s sad that I won’t be able to enjoy this one. This book will be gathering dust and cobwebs.
