Regenesis

Cyteen, Book 4

By: C. J. Cherryh

Narrated by: Gabra Zackman, Jonathan Davis

The direct sequel to the Hugo Award-winning novel Cyteen, Regenesis continues the story of Ariane Emory PR, the genetic clone of one of the greatest scientists humanity has ever produced, and of her search for the murderer of her progenitor - the original Ariane Emory. Murder, politics, deception, and genetic and psychological manipulation combine against a backdrop of interstellar human societies at odds to create a mesmerizing and major work in Regenesis.

Who did kill the original Ariane Emory? And can her personal replicate avoid the same fate? Those questions have remained unanswered for two decades since the publication of Cyteen. Now, in Regenesis, those questions will finally be answered.

Excellent Continuation and Ari’s Story

A happy expansion of Ari’s story wrapping up the loose ends of Ari’s murder and continuation of her adventures. Well worth the read and I wish there was more.

A delightful book

I just listened to this book for the 10th time. I start with cyteen then regenesis. What I like is that there are some words I don’t know. I delight in the scientific and the characters built in both books.

OMG! Such an amazing ending to a story!

this book closed off so many loose ends! the beginning was a little slow, but as it moved on you become enrolled. this is the first audiobook that I have ever listened to all the way through and I was on the edge of my seat. if you were at all familiar with this universe, you will absolutely love this book there are so many deserved events for the characters I was literally had my yard rocked and was on the edge of my seat. please listen to it oh my God!

Surprise

I enjoyed hearing this after the first book. I found how the original Ari’s murder was solved. This was the first read since I read the original book.

Great story poor narration and editing

AUDIBLE NO LONGER ALLOWING RETURNS ON AUDIO BOOKS PURCASHED WITH CASH LISTEN TO SAMPLE BEFORE PURCAHSE!!

I read some of the reviews, but didn't anticipate just how bad the narration and sound editing are. Within sentences, every few words, there are completely different sounding narrations both in volume, tone, and "echo", sound much louder and with noticeable/strange echo quality, that are incredibly distracting. Nouns and names are pronounced differently from previous book. Why did the narrators not listen to even a small sample of previous book to pronounce things the same? CJ Cherryh is my favorite author and I'm excited to get to the audio books on audible, but this one is pretty bad. Listen to a sample first before purchasing. I purchased this a couple other CJ Cherryh books without much concern as Audible has always allowed returns if I didn't like the book. No longer. Unknown to me, Audible changed its return policy in October so that books purchased with cash are no longer returnable. I got this audiobook at a discount because I owned the kindle version so could get it cheaper for cash than the cost of purchasing a credit to then purchase it. This policy will ultimately lead me to purchase no more books than my yearly subscription of credits because I don't want to take the change on getting another poorly narrated book.

Not the ending?!

I thought that there would be more! Wanted to go on in the developed on 2nd Ari.

More, please!

After reading Cyteen several times, and a long wait for this sequel, it definitely didn’t disappoint. There were significant twists and unexpected turns, new discoveries and clarification on details. But at the end, still questions. Old questions, new questions. Who was responsible for the murder of Ari 1? Why did Denis try to kill Ari 2? What does Kyle know? What will the worm in the Gehenna azi sets do? Will there be a next book? One can only hope.

good ending for the Cyteen series but a little dry

I'm glad to have an ending to the story, but the book was a little tedious compared to its predecessors.

Great story continuation

The continuation of the story was great! I was disappointed with the narration changing how things were pronounced at the beginning. You could tell when the narrator made an error and they re-recorded parts. It was annoying at first, but I got past it because the story was so great.

Great story but so-so read

This is the cap on four primary novels in the Cyteen/Downbelow sequence. An amazing continuation given the time between the writing of the two books. I was not impressed by the reading-too much hyperbole in the style-would have been better if the woman had read it all-her style was more suited to the story.
