À propos de cet audio

When Jack Harrison climbed down the short ladder from the airlock and stepped onto the debris covered soil, the ground crackled with the sound of dried leaves and twigs.

Warm sunlight shone on his helmet, making him almost forget the decade he just spent captaining Earth’s first ship to another star system. The serene tropical surroundings, though, stood in stark contrast to the long-abandoned structures that lay nearby.

Evidence points to a massacre; the systematic extermination of an alien colony hundreds of millennia ahead of humanity. Time, however, has erased any trace of the attackers.

Jack and his crew barely start probing the ruins before their curiosity betrays them as an abandoned alien device cuts them off from their main ship. Lost and short on supplies, survival soon becomes their only goal. Even their short-lived rescue by an alien race, who themselves are under siege, offers little hope. As they struggle to find a way home, signs begin pointing to a danger darker than any they could have foreseen. Jack knows that playing it safe may no longer be an option - but his only other choice is to confront a threat that they can’t even begin to understand.

It would be great if stories that rely on supposedly smart people doing dumb shit that gets them into trouble would just stop.

Not again...

What a cool and intriguing story concept, it's such a shame the Magellan is crewed with the most one dimensional uncurious and exhausting individuals ever written. I do not like the human characters.

So much wasted potential

Did not like the low and slow monotone narration. Little more enthusiasm needed. But the writer makes a good story

Love the overall story

Not to speak of the plot, the author's writing style and scenes are very physically rich and visually serene. I'm a fan of this.

Narration is pretty good, I have no complaints there.

Characters are fine, I would say it reads generally a bit like a mission journal from the protagonists perspective that he presumably has to broadcast back for review. And they told him to "sound natural"

This is okay! I'm not sure this exact balance of plot / character depth is ideal, but writing is art and I respect the author's choice. Overall, a good piece.

Good Prose
