About this listen

Lieutenant Selene Genji has one last chance to save Earth in this pulse-pounding science fiction adventure from the author of the New York Times bestselling Lost Fleet series.

Earth, 2180
Genetically engineered with partly alien DNA, Lieutenant Selene Genji is different from ordinary humans. And they hate her for it. Still, she’s spent her life trying to overcome society’s prejudice by serving in Earth’s Unified Fleet.
Genji is stationed on a ship in orbit when humanity’s factional extremism on the planet reaches a boiling point, and she witnesses the utter annihilation of Earth.
When the massive forces unleashed by Earth’s death warp space and time to hurl her forty years into the past, Genji is given a chance to try to change the future and save Earth.

Earth, 2140
Lieutenant Kayl Owen’s ship is on a routine patrol when a piece of spacecraft wreckage appears out of nowhere. To his shock, there is a survivor on board: Selene Genji. Once her strange heritage is discovered, though, it becomes clear that Genji is a problem Earth Guard
command wants to dispose of—quietly. After learning the horrifying truth, Owen helps her escape and joins her mission.

Together, they have a chance to change the fate of an Earth doomed to die in 2180. But altering history could put Genji’s very existence in danger, and Owen wonders if a world without her is one worth saving. …

Good story, split narration didn't work

An enjoyable story and I will buy the next book when it's available, but the split male/female narration just didn't work. It was jarring going from male to female and vice versa, especially when the narrative styles and overall quality of performance were so different. I hope they fix it for the next book.

great concept, poor reading

I enjoyed the story, although the emotional interactions sometimes felt unrealistic. I liked the societal reaction to, and exploration of "alien" and what it means. I found the performance of the narrators very off-putting sadly. I failed to see what was added by having two readers, and the woman had an annoying habit of stressing every 3rd or 4th word, which was very off-putting.
I pre-ordered this book, and was so excited for a new Hemry series, but I feel quite deflated after finishing the book.
