From New York Times best-selling author Peter F. Hamilton comes his first audio original, A Hole in the Sky, Book 1 in the Arkship Trilogy.

Sixteen-year old Hazel lives in the Daedalus, a starship that is flying in search of a new world. The ship has been traveling for 500 years, searching for a world to settle in after having to abandon its last world. Everyone on board Daedalus lives a very simple existence in farming villages. The age of machines supplying their needs was lost during a mutiny 500 years ago. The captain regained control of the ship after a huge struggle. Now, with finite resources, everything in the habitat is Cycled, including humans, who essentially are suicided at 65 so they don't deplete the biosphere's resources.

Hazel encounters the Cheaters, people who refused to Cycle, who tell her the Daedalus has been damaged and its atmosphere is leaking away. When her brother has a paralyzing accident which condemns him to be Cycled since he can no longer be productive, Hazel runs off with him to join the Cheaters. While with the Cheaters, she discovers that much of what has been told to the people living on Daedalus for the last 500 years is untrue, and soon, Hazel is in a thrilling race to help repair the ship and help the people of the Daedalus.

Sci-fi isn't my normal genre, my bf recommended it because it's written my his favorite author but it's shorter than his other books. The story is fascinating and i enjoyed it

Interesting Concept

Genius. I can't wait to see where this series goes. If I know the author's style it has Morning Light Mountain potential. Read some of his other work to know what I mean.

Peter F Hamilton does it again

Wonderfully heartbreaking

An interesting look at how human societies can be manipulated into obedience and acting against their own interests and devolve into a primitive state. Another interesting angle is using a naive protagonist to explore how a Victorian teenager encounters real life SciFi. From that standpoint the narration makes very good sense and if it ever got too melodramatic it served as a reference to the above set up.
Interesting story and a warning of sorts.

a stone age is never firmly in the past

Simplistic. If you are not a regular reader of his works, then this is probably not the best example OF his works. Its a departure from his usual massive world building, character and plot development.
Not specifically noted anywhere I could see, the general opinion on various groups I have looked at it is that this is more a "young adult" work. That said, I doubt my daughter would enjoy it, but as a young teen, she would have given it a go and probably wanted to read more of the same. Part of a series in development, I doubt I will bother with the rest.
The narration is very 1950's "BBC" (British Broadcasting Corp) and for the life of me, I dont know why. Having listened to several excerpts of the narrators works, its obviously not her fault and I suspect she was doing as directed.
I'm reminded of Enid Blyton and if thats what the author and narrator were after, then I think they nailed it perfectly.

Not his best, but I think I am in the minority
