The Olympus Project

Gaia, Book 1

De: Zoë Routh

Narrado por: Christina Percival

They are the best. The brightest. The hope of humanity.

And they might destroy us all….

The future. Climate change has rendered much of the world desolate. Crops are failing. Rising seas have flooded coastal communities. The earth is dying, and humanity careens toward extinction.

Enter the Olympus Project—a plan to colonise the moon, building on the fledgling Artemis base, led by three of humankind’s best and brightest: Troy Bruin, Xavier Consus, and Xanthe Waters.

But even the best and brightest can fall prey to humanity’s failing. Soon Xavier, Troy, and Xanthe are at war—with the arduous process of creating a new home on a hostile moon, with meddling corporations jockeying for control, with the new recruits battling for open positions on their team…and with themselves.

The future looks grim—and it’s about to get worse. Because even as the crew searches for a way to reconcile their differences and work together, a secret organisation is planning to destroy what they’ve accomplished, and finish off what Mother Nature has begun.

The Earth is dying. The end draws near. Only the Olympus Project can save us—if they can just figure out how to save themselves….

Fans of Margaret Atwood and Emily St. John Mandel will love the first book in the most thrilling dystopian science fiction series to come along in years.

Great book- spotty narration

Enjoyed the novel, kept me interested the entire time. The narrator’s voices were spotty, but otherwise it was great.

NOT SCI-FI. "Leadership through fiction". Boring.

The author's note should have been the preface, I'd have stopped there. This publication was never billed as an exploration of leadership tjrough fiction and I may request a credit refund at this point.I feel misled. This felt like required reading for a first semester MBA class alongside Who Moved My Cheese.

"Holy guacamole" pronunciation as well as many others still have me laughing as a Southern USA native. I'm sure my Australian accent is terrible but I don't try to imitate one.

Story-slow and boring. I had to listen at 1.5x to get through it. I didn't realize the entire book was going to be about mission training.

I read and listen to a combined 200 books a year, mostly sci-fi, and Andy Weir I recommend. This author, I won't be reading again. It's too reliant on coversation and some not great as audio. It just annoyed me. Show, don't tell. I can't agree with the 4 and 5 star ratings on this one.

Not entertaining.
