Summary

Twenty young people wake aboard the spaceship Redemption with no memory how they got there.

Asher Maddox went to sleep a college dropout with clinical depression and anxiety. He wakes 160 years in the future to assume the role as captain aboard a spaceship he knows nothing about, with a crew as in the dark as he is.

Yanked from their everyday lives, the crew learns that Earth has been ravaged by the Spades virus - a deadly disease planted by aliens. They are tasked with obtaining the vaccine that will save humanity, while forced to hide from an unidentified, but highly advanced enemy.

Half a galaxy away from Earth, the crew sets out to complete the quest against impossible odds. As the enemy draws closer, they learn to run the ship despite their own flaws and rivalries. But they have another enemy...time. And it’s running out.

Profile Image for Walter

At the outset the story has a lot of potential.

But it quickly goes into a typical North-American interaction between teenagers drama. College kids with hormones. And yes, added anxiety. Still, this could have been better if not for sentences like: "He stirred, but didn't move". And to inconsequences like: The bright red signified the most danger. Followed a bit later by: Stay out of the dark red. Not sure who to "blame" — the author or the editor. The story feels at times like watching a video-game or a sitcom, making sure to get a remark/reaction from all the characters.

The narrator speedreads so I had to go to 90% speed. Parts that have been inserted or changed are very obvious. I am currently at chapter 18 and considering giving up.

PS
I am clearly not in the target audience.
