Story
In 1988, 43-year-old Jeff Winston died of a heart attack. But then he awoke, and it was 1963; Jeff was 18 all over again, his memory of the next two decades intact. This time around, Jeff would gain all the power and wealth he never had before. This time around he'd know how to do it right. Until next time.

Story
When Lilith lyapo wakes from a centuries-long sleep, she finds herself aboard the vast spaceship of the Oankali. She discovers that the Oankali—a seemingly benevolent alien race—intervened in the fate of the humanity hundreds of years ago, saving everyone who survived a nuclear war from a dying, ruined Earth and then putting them into a deep sleep. After learning all they could about Earth and its beings, the Oankali healed the planet, cured cancer, increased human strength, and they now want Lilith to lead her people back to Earth—but salvation comes at a price.

Story
In the 1800s, a sailing ship crashes off the coast of Norway. In the 1900s, a Zepellin explores an icy canyon in Antarctica. In the far future, a spaceship sets out for an alien artifact. Each excursion goes horribly wrong. And on every journey, Dr. Silas Coade is the physician, but only Silas seems to realize that these events keep repeating themselves. And it's up to him to figure out why and how. And how to stop it all from happening again.

Story
Few know the warship’s actual name. But everyone has heard the rumors. The PUV James Keeling can do something no other vessel in existence can do—slip into another dimension, travel undetected, then re-emerge onto our plane and surprise enemy targets. But the thing that makes the Crypt unique also makes it a nightmare for those onboard; interdimensional travel causes hallucinations, violent behavior, and psychotic breakdowns. Keeling could be the Union’s greatest weapon, a game-changing asset that can defeat the bloodthirsty zealots of the Purist Nation, the Union’s mortal enemy.

Story
Tom Dreyfus is a Prefect, a law enforcement officer with the Panoply. His beat is the multifaceted utopian society of the Glitter Band, that vast swirl of space habitats orbiting the planet Yellowstone, the teeming hub of a human interstellar empire spanning many worlds. His current case: investigating a murderous attack against one of the habitats that left 900 people dead, a crime that appalls even a hardened cop like Dreyfus.

Publisher's Summary
The "sun" is now a featureless disk - a heat source, rather than an astronomical object. The moon is gone, but tides remain. The world's artificial satellites have fallen out of orbit. Eventually, space probes reveal that the barrier is artificial, generated by huge alien artifacts. Time passes faster outside the barrier - more than a hundred million years per day on Earth. At this rate, the death of the sun is only about forty years away.
Jason, now a promising young scientist, devotes his life to working against this slow-moving apocalypse. Diane throws herself into hedonism, marrying a sinister cult leader who's forged a religion out of the fears of the masses.
Earth sends terraforming machines, then humans, to Mars...and immediately an emissary returns with thousands of stories about the settling of Mars. Then an identical barrier appears around Mars.
Life on Earth is about to get much, much stranger.
What the critics say

Intriguing tale
Lots of human wisdom and folly. Lots of plausible science well as much as Sci-fi need’s anyway. Good story, good characters and fun to hear. Great narration too.

great storyline & prescient societal statements
character development is phenomenal. the story has sound scientific basis and leaves you in a constant state of wondering what is really going on. the societal and political statements lead you wonder if the author had a preview of the 2018 political situation

Single-handedly got me into speculative sci-fi
I first read this book in high school for an assignment when I picked it randomly out of the sci-fi bin. Normally I was only into action/sci-fi And that's kind of what I expected from this book going into it. Not only were my expectations subverted, but they were also greatly exceeded.
Spin played such a huge role in my developmental years as it encouraged me to think and to wonder at the beauty of our universe. All of the character's are well developed and feel/act natural and even though the main character is somewhat of a plain character he is emboldened by the characters surrounding him and the way he interacts with them and what unfolds around himself.
The story unfolds so naturally and though some later story arcs are spoiled by the narrator character in the first few chapters the agency remains as there are always new twists and mysteries in the next chapter.
I really like Scott Brick's reading as I feel he puts just enough emotion into characters and takes moments to let the impact of scenes and rhe emotions of characters or events sink in. Beautiful.
Seriously, if you like speculative sci-fi give Spin a shot. I've listened to this twice now and have read the book countless times.

Futuristic scifi novel took me back in time!
#Audible1
A truth once again revealed: childhood friendships persist, despite the changes and events life throws at us. A most fascinating story line leads us into an intriguing adventure in an alternate timeline imposed by an outside entity (enough said). One of the best books I've read in many years - have eagerly jumped into Axis, the sequel.

Good story, bad characters
The story was an interesting idea. Didn't care about characters. Main character was incredibly passive.

bland and over written
Just about the worst and blandest characters I have seen in a novel. Neat ideas but very overwritten, about twice as Ong as it should have been.

Really wanted to like it!
The tone was boring and depressing. The story goes on and on but it feels empty. It’s hard to like the characters, they are all cold and detached . I expected a lot of science but found very little, whatever is there is spread out to the point when i no longer cared.

Slow burn, long and booring
Lots of potential but slow and boring. You can skip chapters at a time with no consequence. Yawn..
