Steel Beneath the Skin

Aneka Jansen, Book 1

De: Niall Teasdale

Narrado por: Gabrielle de Cuir

The idea was simple enough for the alien race who took Aneka Jansen from Earth in 2011. Take a human, make her into a perfect tool to observe humanity from the inside, and so determine how best to advance this young race into their future. Unfortunately for them and her, their plans went awry, and Aneka became the only survivor on a dead ship marooned in deep space.

Only by chance is the derelict discovered, and Aneka is revived to discover that the world she knew is long gone, and she has to learn to live on a New Earth, in a body that is not her own. Aneka died a thousand years ago, and all that is left of her is a computer simulation of her mind running on a quantum computer inside a body of steel, plastic, and synthetic skin.

Is she really still the woman she thinks she is?

Enjoyable listen.

loved most of the story. some of the adaptation prossess choises that were made did make me questionable, but I think that's more to do with my own mental understanding being unable to prossess what it would be like to have the stacked issues of culture shock, depression, issolation (an unstated underlying issue brought up as comments of returing to civilizatio), crisis of self, and being a female soldier (or a soldier in general) in a new sexually free environment.

enjoyable space opera with strong female

easy listen with excellent narration. plot follows along. character development of side characters could be stronger. sex scenes we) done but perhaps to often. I hope series continues in audible

Sensitive Skin, decent sci fi and excellent listen

just sit back and enjoy the rhythm of the story. I liked the suspense of Aneka's discovery.

Great story, need the series on audible

This story takes a few different tropes and puts them together in a way that I think is unique. I don't want to give any spoilers, so I'll just say that its got scifi, alien, military, spy, and archeology with a little (lot) of sexy time tossed in. Definitely not for younger readers / listeners.
What I'm wondering is when the rest of the books in the series will be recorded for Audible, I'm disappointed that they aren't available... as well as other series by the Author like the "Ultra Human" series

IMBA

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

steel and action its nearly the same as Cassandra Kresnov and it has it own twist its fun and u cant get enogh of it

More, please

I really wish Mr. Teasdale would reconsider his stance on not submitting more audio books.

I enjoyed this book very much.

I think this is a good beginning for a series. It's a real shame the author didn't create more.

Insightful first book

This book is so much better than I would have thought any signification future book could be. I enjoyed it very much.

Great read

I enjoyed this very much, wasn't sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised.

excellent storytelling of sci-fi for adults

this is great example of character-driven sci-fi, with all of the human strengths and frailties on display. I am quick to call "bullshit" on weak science or plot, however, this work left me nothing but entertained.
well done! looking forward to the next installment.
