Space Prison

De: Tom Godwin

Narrado por: Arthur Vincet

"Space Prison" is a sci-fi novel by Tom Godwin. A ship heading from Earth to Athena, a planet 500 light years away, is suddenly attacked by the Gerns, an alien empire in its expansion phase. People aboard are divided by the invaders into Acceptables and Rejects. The Acceptables would become slaves for the Gerns on Athena, and the Rejects are forced ashore on the nearest 'earth-like' planet, called Ragnarok. The Gerns say they will return for the Rejects, but the Rejects quickly realize that that isn't going to happen.

Ragnarok is not so earth-like. Its gravity is 1.5 times that of Earth, it is populated by deadly, aggressive creatures and it contains little in the way of usable metal ores. This, combined with a terrible deadly fever that kills in hours, more than decimates the population. The novels follows the stranded humans through several generations as they try to survive there, and their unswerving goal to repay the Gerns for their cruelty.©2017 Audioliterature (P)2017 Audioliterature

Great book!

I have read this book and it's sequel several times. I lost my book several years ago but found it on Amazon and bought it and the sequel and read them once again. Space Prison is also known as The Survivors. I love the story and enjoyed the Audible version even more.
