About this listen

Cassia Vici is on a one-way trip to Saturn - to help humanity reach the stars.

A towering genius who'd already solved the problem of death by making memory recording possible, Cassia leads a team of scientists and problem solvers to a station floating in the harsh winds of Saturn. Their mission: to grow interstellar ships using nanobots in the planet's material-rich environment. She called them "monsters" to help sell the project to a skeptical public.

Little did she know how prophetic that name would become.

But an unexpected death seeds doubt among the team, putting the mission in jeopardy. As her team struggles to save the future, Cassia is haunted by her past - a wife and daughter who died in the very technology that made mind recording possible.

With time running out, Cassia and her crew will need one final miracle to build the monsters that could become both their savior - and their doom.

A very unusual and absorbing tale with unexpected plot twist and turns. Clear, good quality narration.

Not a horror story.

The main character in this story does incredibly evil things. Yet she's still presented as a martyr-hero.

She blackmails vulnerable people, betrays those closest to her, hides secrets that get people killed and has all the scientific ethics of Doctor Moreau.

She constantly talks about reform and redemption but to final word of the story she remains morally reprehensible.

Her final speech is about standing on the shoulders of giants... those aren't the shoulders of giants mate that's the piled up bodies of the people you just led to their grisly death.

She is the monster of Saturn.

Still there were some unique and interesting sci-fi concepts. Plus the voice work was good, solid narration.

I feel like this was written by a sociopath

The narrator sounds like an AI very bland so it distracts from the story.

It’s not a bad story, decent characters and arcs.

Good story but the narrator is very distracting and poor

It was a great story from start to finish, if you enjoy science fiction then you'll enjoy this!

Great little story!

No spoilers. Very movie like. For fans of Aliens and classic sci-fi. The unlikable protagonist kind of pays offs because their selfish obsession is consistent and credible sacrificing everyone and everything for a particular goal.

Clever. Engaging, Aliens Meets Sunshine.

IMHO.

The imagination is a wonderful thing

interesting story but the end left me wanting a bit more.

loved having a female narrator on a space story.

worth a listen and it's short enough to get though on a whim.

please to find the queer representation as not a Major plot point just well considered and quite natural

good to find a queer female protagonist in space
