À propos de cet audio

After initial contact with an alien entity leaves Kaylan unconscious, she wakes up to discover that she's now in command of the Athena mission stranded in a star system far from Earth.

The ship's computer is malfunctioning, and former hacker and astronaut trainee Zack Quick is the only one who can fix it. If he can't figure out what's wrong, they have no hope of getting back home.

In order to survive, the crew of the Athena must explore an alien star system to find the species that summoned them.

Ken Lozito continues his "Space Drama": following a human crew that includes conflicting personalities, duplicitous "bad-guy" shipmates with their own hidden agendas, and romantic entanglements - but drops the crew of the 'Athena' - abducted through an inadvertantly activated wormhole - in the middle of an interstellar war between an array of Alien Species. This installment of Lozito's 'Ascension' series finds a character given psychic powers, an alien AI & pair of alien warriors added to the ship's crew, and an obvious "StarTrek Away Team" event incorporated when one-time computer geek 'Zack Quick' has to prove himself in a combat challenge on a farflung planet.
Beyond adding the unmistakably divergent plot elements, Lozito also takes his characters in unforeseen directions (converting cocky pilot/now ship's commander 'Kaylan Farrow' into a stereotypical overly-emotional "hormonal" female, for example). The shift in storytelling between Book One (Television-quality SciFi space drama) & Book Two ('StarTrek: Voyager' clone) is striking.

Fortunately, reader Jeff Hayes is impressive in this recording. He continues to overenunciate (sentences finishing on a consonant are closed with a James Hetfield-esque "-Ah"), and many characters are cartoonish - but Hayes exhibits character interpretations so distinctive that this audiobook often sounds like a full-cast performance. Podium Audio engineers could have done a better job softening the narrator's natural sibilance, but overall this is a quality listen.

To be honest, the 'Ascension' series characters and plot evolution introduced in the first book never grabbed me. After listening to this installment, I haven't changed my mind. I won't be continuing with the serial.. free or not..
You're not *crazy* to do so, mind you - the writing isn't terrible in this well-performed 5.5/10-star offering - but if they ask you for a Credit, there are muuuuuuch better options available than this evolving poor-man's Star Trek.

Is This Written By Roddenberry's Kid?

You get introduced to this strong smart female and suddenly in book 2 she becomes an envious emo princess, while nerd boy turns into Jason Bourne. Seriously? Had high hopes but I don’t think I will continue.

Annoying how they portray the female lead
