Colony One

The Elderon Chronicles, Book 1

De: Tarah Benner

Narrado por: Jacqueline DeGraff

Maggie Barnes is at the end of her rope. She’s young and broke living in New York, and her newspaper job has been taken by robots. When she’s offered a job aboard the first civilian space colony, Maggie thinks it’s her lucky break.

For Jonah Wyatt, the Space Force is his last shot at a military career. After years of tracking down the members of a deadly cyberterrorism ring, he was discharged from the army and stuck working one menial job after another. Now this disgraced combat specialist is headed to space.

At first glance, Elderon seems to be a futuristic utopia: Bots do the laundry, meat comes from a lab, and the latest technology expands the scope of human capability. But as Maggie digs deeper, she realizes that Elderon is not at all what it seems. When she receives a tip from an unknown source, she’ll go undercover to learn the truth and place herself in the crosshairs of an all-out war.

Tarah Benner Never Disappoints

If you’re a fan of dystopian novels, this is for you. I loved The Fringe and Lawless series so when I saw Tarah Benner released a new audible novel I had to buy it. I listened to the whole book in less than 24 hours!
I’ll be honest... the narrator isn’t my favorite but you get used to her after a couple of chapters.

Loved it!

I learned about this book from a dystopian/apocalyptic group I am in. I was excited to give it a try. I can say that I didn't love it during the first 2 chapters. However, it quickly sucked me in and I couldn't stop listening. I wanted to know more and more about the characters. It is such a great story and I can't wait to listen to the next book! I'm hooked!!

instantly started book 2

kept my interest the entire time with no slow points.
I'm looking forward to seeing what's next

just so so.

I struggled to finish this book. Even though the narration was good, it took way too long for the story to develop. Maggie/Magnolia was a royal PIA and I got really tired of her dramatics. Jonah was, well he just was. All the characters seemed to not fully develop during the story.

This is one series I won't follow and am sad I spent a credit for it.

So amazing!

Loved this so much! Cannot wait to read more! This is like my favorite genre and the author nailed it!!! Glued from the beginning to end !!

Awesome!

Fantastic from start to finish. very gripping story that sucks you in. The ending was a perfect hook to get you into the next in the series. Fantastic narrator! Can't wait to start book 2.

good story and a new really enjoyed authors notes

the author did a tremondous amount of research which she explains at the end. love that piece. Narrator is good .

Out of this world

What a great listen, time just flew by. A very well written book that felt very realistic, even though it is science fiction. cant wait to listen to the next one.

fun listen

narrator did a great job, made story come to life. enjoyed listening as I feel asleep nightly.

Space, Robots, and the start of a great adventure!

I like anything to do with space and robots and it seems like there might be a love story involved. It’s action packed all the way through. It’s never boring. It immediately got my attention. This book sets you up for an intense adventure. The end is intense and leaves you with the feeling that you immediately have to start listening to the next book. Which I did. I like how the author buts notes at the end of her rabbit hole experience in researching to make the book. Her notes are very interesting and it makes you really think about the future and how AI is progressing. The girl that reads the book is great. She really knows how to change her voice and makes you think that character is really talking and that really helps you get to know that character. I highly recommend this book if you’re ready for a great adventure.
