Marchenko's Children

Proxima Logfiles 1

By: Brandon Q. Morris

Narrated by: Eli Snuggs

Two humans and a robot on their own in the Alpha Centauri system: Marchenko, Adam and Eve have found asylum on a planet inhabited by aliens. They could spend the rest of their lives here in peace. But apparently there are many more people who, like them, have been sent to alien systems without a return ticket and without being asked - castaways with uncertain fates who need their help.

Their alien rescuers generously offer to take them on a search in one of their spaceships. Although the trio doesn’t know whether their hosts are acting out of altruism, they embark on an odyssey with dangers so unpredictable that the saga is indeed written in the stars.

The Proxima Logfiles is a multi-part series based on the Proxima Trilogy, but can be read independently. Star Trek meets Lost in Space - reimagined with the scientific and technical realism of hard science fiction.

good story

not saying anything bad about the narrator, I just have my own personal issues with changes. Edoardo Ballerini was good in the Proxima Rising and hearing all the characters have different voice and tones make their personalities change as well.
as for the story, I have only gotten the first story done, it's good but I hope it picks up, it just wasn't long enough. Also I have to wait to get the second book that isn't available on audible but books 3 and 4 are?

Couldn’t finish it. It’s not like the original trilogy at all.

After listening to the original Proxima trilogy, which I enjoyed, I thought I’d try out the first of these sequel novellas. I made it halfway through and tried to return it, but Audible won’t let me because I didn’t use a Credit to cover the 7ish-dollar cost. So now I’m stuck with it.

The writing seems too rushed and the narrator sounds like a children’s book narrator, which is unsettling when the adult themes come up. The plot meanders too quickly and the characters make strange decisions that aren’t believsble as. It’s like the characters changed their personalities.

Perhaps one day I’ll finish it and be surprised, but regardless it’s not the same as the Proxima trilogy.

whisper talk audio

There is this wierd narrator half whisper half talking audio. Sounds like it has something to do with how the audio was recorded. It's not terrible, but takes a bit to get into listening..

Waste of time and credit

Maybe this was for kids. I still don't know what the plot was. I'll tell you later. Maybe something will happen....Nope
