Publisher's summary
Captain Sass Collier can’t die. A century ago, the Colony Corps carried her away to the stars. Because Earth was doomed.
She returns with tech advances from the colonies, hoping to restore the one best planet for humanity, and save isolated pockets of desperate survivors.
Instead her motley crew from the boonies finds not one, but three surviving worlds — Earth, Luna, and Mars. And she’s with the invading aliens.
Her homecoming starts with a bang.
The Northern League tyrannizes Earth now. They capture Sass and her ship separately, to hold them hostage against each other.
Can Sass save her crew from its most powerful foe ever – the mother world?
Join Thrive’s family of misfits for hard science fiction with rivets, and fresh page-turning space adventure! Book 1 — new to Thrive? Start here! The series is now complete.
Suggested for fans of Firefly, Lindsay Buroker's Star Kingdom, and Dennis Taylor’s Bobiverse.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3,446
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

Charlie’s only survived them the last three years by pledging her loyalty to the leader of her sector and by keeping her past a secret. But when a riot...

AI Narration
The story seemed to be very good, but the A. I that was narrating didn't do different voices for different characters and lacked any real emotion during events, where emotion would be normal?.

Stories Worth Hearing
Very interesting stories involving space colonists returning to the Sol system. I was able to enjoy even though I had not heard chronologically earlier stories apparently available by the same author. It has the prefunctory gender and orientation inclusions for modern novels, and though they don't add much to the story they also don't detract from it. The related elements that explore the boundary between biological and artificial life do add a lot to the story however. The virtual voice does fairly well with this story. Not too many distractions there.
