Story
The Eden Project was a dream. To start the first extra-solar colony... To avoid the mistakes of our past... To start anew. Three generations, born and raised on a starship hurtling through space. To never know an open sky... To never feel the wind on their face... To never witness the sun rise or set. It is up to the advance team to set foot on each of these worlds, conduct their surveys, and send their findings back to the colony ship. So many questions... So little time... Such an enormous responsibility.

In 2018, Canadian archaeologist Ron Jackson makes a mind-boggling discovery in Antarctica - right before disappearing without a trace, leaving behind only his controversial theory that humans have lived on Earth far, far longer than we think they have. Decades later, in 2042, when Jackson's wife dies under mysterious circumstances, an unlikely pair of investigators, Agatha Devenworth and Pano Hofer, begin investigating whether her death might be connected to Jackson's disappearance.

Once inside, he finds the previous occupant's consciousness and memories forever erased, an inevitable side effect that gives Frederick pause when switching bodies but not so much as to truly halt his ongoing enjoyment of human lives.

Harder Science Fiction Than I Could Handle
- By Jeff Koeppen on 06-06-20
By: Cixin Liu
Publisher's Summary
Nine brilliant scientists travel light-years on a one-way trip to an Earthlike planet. Their mission is to study from orbit the two species of intelligent lifeforms on the surface. The first: an isolated people embarking on civilization and building their world's first city. The second: a brutal race of massive predators, spread thick and still growing across the dominant landmass - destined to breed and eat their way to extinction within a few centuries.
After eight years of observation, disaster strikes the orbiting station, and only two crewmembers eject successfully. Drifting down through a dark, alien sky, the pair realizes their escape pod launched not toward the safety of the city but to the other side of the planet, touching down deep inside a land no human could possibly survive.

Exigency is entertaining
The dictionary.com definition of the word exigency is as follows:
[ek-si-juh n-see, ig-zij-uh n-]
noun, plural exigencies.
1. exigent state or character; urgency.
2.Usually, exigencies. the need, demand, or requirement intrinsic to a circumstance, condition, etc.:
the exigencies of city life.
3. a case or situation that demands prompt action or remedy; emergency:
He promised help in any exigency.
The title of this book by Michael Siemsen immediately made me interested in listening to it. It’s catchy, feels fast paced and lured me in. Narrated by Julia Whelan Exigency is the story of a team of scientists in the far future who are in orbit studying a developing planet. They observe flora and most… urgently the fauna. There are two species of note on the planet, the Hyanka and the Threck. Both species are intelligent and are developing societies, science and such.
Calamity of course strikes the space station they are on and they must evacuate. Their escape pod lands in a dangerous region of the planet and the exigency begins. They can’t survive for long on their own, and they now must enlist the aid of the aliens.
The main character in the book is a neurotic, ill scientist named Minnie(Minerva) I found her to very well developed and deep as a unique character but ultimately unlikable. The remainder of the book’s human characters are fairly shallow and don’t add much other than skill sets or dialogue partners for Minnie. The aliens in the book are very alien and are well done. They don’t feel anthropomorphized in the least and they’re spoke in such a way by Julia that they feel like they’re not just ‘other humans.’
In audio the book suffered from the back and forth written communication style. There’s a messaging system the humans use that’s essentially like modern day texting and on paper I can imagine that it’s far easier to read. In audio however I felt irritated by the prefacing of initials, abbreviations and the ‘l33t sp33k’ feel of it. It didn’t register as entertaining or particularly clever to me, though I can see how it would be much better in the written book.
Despite its anything but urgent start, and lower level of the action I expected out of a book about scientists stranded on a dangerous alien planet Exigency is entertaining. It seemed far more about cultural clashes and the language barrier of meeting new civilizations, and I found that element well written and interesting. If you’re into hard science fiction and the future of space exploration Exigency has something to offer you.
Julia Whelan’s performance of the title is entertaining and well done. Her fluid dance between character voices and species becomes easy to follow very quickly and makes the book a pleasure to listen to.

Hard-hitting, Original SF--Worth a Credit
Interesting concepts and characters (human and alien). The author relied a bit too heavily on shifting POV and overlapping episodes as a technique to maintain suspense, but the original content was a true artistic pleasure--even with painful death scenes. Definitely not your same-old, same-old!

Ehhhh...
I don't know; I guess I grew up on great science fiction/fantasy; Jules Verne, Ray Bradbury, Heinlein, whatever - with fascinating new technologies, great stories; things that filled you with wonder; and generally all plausible. Hard to find these days. This story is none of those; folks text and phone; learn complex alien languages in a matter of days; supposedly skilled astronauts freak out at first encounters; there's a certain fascination with elimination..... I don't know. I guess I
just didn't find the story interesting
or Imaginative enough for this genre.

About the dangers of peeing yourself at sub zero
The general story is quite interesting. The performance is excellent. But it gets extremely boring for long passages. There was literally a 30 min description about peeing...
The story is mainly about the emotions of the characters and the anatomy / society / history of the indigenous species. Some parts are quite constructed, too long, not really flowing. While the basic universe is quite interesting and especially very realistic (which I really like) the story is be too realistic / random for my taste. And it definitely did not help that I could not fore myself to really care for the characters...

Any additional comments?
This is an Awesome Book! If you like great characters, interesting aliens, and a fascinating alien world, then this book is for you. The narrator did a great job bringing out the personalities of all the scientists, and making the story enjoyable and interesting. I loved the alien world with all the attention to detail describing a fascinating ecosystem on an alien world. My favorite characters were definitely the aliens, they were great! I couldn't stop listening until the story was finished.

Not what I expected...
What disappointed you about Exigency?
Apparently, this author sees future human deep space missions and colonization composed of a crew of emasculated weak men led by strong lesbian women. If you find this works for you, then you'll really enjoy this book, but unfortunately I just couldn't get into the emtional interactions.
Would you be willing to try another book from Michael Siemsen? Why or why not?
Probably not, particularly if the interpersonal themes stay the same ....
What does Julia Whelan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Julia is the only thing that got me through this book. She's one of the best readers in audio books and honestly, she could make reading the dictionary exciting. In fact, one of the primary reasons I picked this book was because she was listed as the reader....

I can see this being a film
Loved the idea of the story.... I wish that the forward and backwards was more sectioned so it's not as confusing.
descriptions of the creatures were confusing and I couldn't picture any of them.
I wish I'd loved this more. I found myself getting distracted and realised I'd missed a chunk of the story! Maybe I'll try it again one day.

Take a book for £3 get someone to narrate it and sell it on for £20. It's not worth it. The idea behind the story is great but poorly developed. The narration is really annoying.
