Michael and Jamie live in Dome 17. The last place safe for humans, or any life, on a dying Earth. They are adventurers who have explored other domes, but everywhere else is dead. Will Dome 17 meet the same fate? The committee has a risky plan to try out unproven technologies: a faster than light scout ship, and teleportation. Both technologies have severe limits. Only two people can be carried aboard those FTL scout ships for a one way journey.

The Colony Ship Vanguard was one of seven colony ships launched from a damaged Earth in a desperate plan to carry human settlers to Earth equivalent worlds. The voyages would take generations, and the people on board, as well as the flora and fauna in huge biological habitats had to be stable. But something happened on the way. Now, over one hundred years later, Earth is all but dead. People survive only in Dome 17.

Looking to history, they come up with a plan to try to find the seven lost generational colony ships which left Earth a century before.

A Good read / listen

Let me started by saying this is the first book I've read in this series. I have read both Colony Ship Conestoga & colony Ship Vanguard. So I am a fan of John Thornton's writing.
Yes it would have better to have read the series from the start, but it was easy to pick up the general drift of the series and it is a good read/listen. Good solid sci-fi/ adventure.
Narration is good clear and easy to listen to.
I recieved a free copy of this audiobook at my own request, and voluntarily leave this review.
