Summary

The ITS Santa Maria is a generation ship in the truest sense—her colonial mission to the alluringly habitable TRAPPIST-1 system will span several. Her crew, though, original and descendent both, need not necessarily accept their lot to live and die between the stars. Greased elbows and palms tend to lubricate a path toward longevity.

Wealth aboard Santa Maria is measured not in dollars and cents, but in Minutes and Seconds. Work, favors, and shrewdness are paid in Minutesand Minutes are spent in Suspension.

Suspension Pods are scarce, and where there is scarcity, there is competition. Which ancient vices will that competition dredge from beneath the genteel veneer of our spacefaring future?

To what terrible lengths will human beings go for a breath of fresh air?

Profile Image for Mason

This is a good story & well narrated.

The narrative switches between parts of the overall story and, while it caused no issues, I found myself wanting the just finished chapter to immediately continue.
It did keep me listening to get back to the characters to see what the outcome was, so worked as designed I guess.

Reminded me of "Speaker for the dead" in parts.

Narration was good and easy to listen to.

There aren't spoon fed explanations or cliché here and where such explanations are given, they provide clarity to story events.

I'd have liked a few more chapters tbh.
