Parallax, Book 1

De: Matt Conant, Lauren Cipollo

Narrado por: Amy Hutchins

A conspiracy threatens everyone in the colonized worlds. Only they can stop it.

In a distant future where advancements in cybernetics and gene-splicing have resulted in a dozen different variants of humanity, three individuals find themselves entangled in a conspiracy that could doom everyone in the colonized worlds.

Paige Angstrom, a fierce and loyal Peacekeeper, yearns to shield her sister Volara from a life of corporate-indentured servitude.

Hemlocke Shaw, a gene-spliced engineer, tirelessly searches for his missing eco-activist wife.

And Emrald Re, a no-nonsense bounty hunter, embarks on a mission to find a vanished wastelander named Lewis DuCane.

Amidst deadly power outages, vanishing civilians, and stalled terraforming projects, the trio unearths a cover-up of epic proportions. The revelation sends shockwaves through their lives, forcing them to confront their own identities and become unlikely heroes in the struggle against the very architects of the Terran race.

From debut authors Matt Conant and Lauren Cipollo, the Parallax series will transport you to a universe teeming with adventure, where ordinary individuals become beacons of hope in the face of oppression.

Definitely interesting

Loved the narrator she made the book interesting that I wanted to listen to the book, it took me a while to get into the story but I'll have to listen to the next book to find out what happens next. If you a character driven book with multiple points of view and you like sci-fi books I can recommend you give it a listen.

wow wow wow

The story was a lot of fun! The characters are varried, fully fleshed out, and so much fun. I wasn't sure about Paige and her sister at the beginning, I'm here for the space druid! But everyone quickly grew on me. And Emerald? with that ship? ROFL Amy did such a fantastic job bringing this to life. I pretty much exclusively listen to audiobooks so, please take my praise of the profomance with the gravity that deserves. They all get a standing ovation from me.

Except for making the kitten sad... you know what you did.

You can tell the authors were passionate in creating the little details and lore of this universe. Incredible debut novel, I can't wait next two.

I thought it was going to be hard to follow and it just fell into place

I love Amy in all the books i listen to… She does an amazing job with all the characters and their voices and emotions. I didn’t know i would enjoy an audible book so much. I’ll search for books narrated by her as much as possible.

Love love love!

I have so many good things to say about this. I was not expecting to listen to one of my favorite of the year when I picked this up. The performance from the narrator was so engaging! I think my favorite part of the story was the interesting world building. There were so many aspects of it that were unique and interesting. The characters made me not want to press pause.
