About this listen
They were heading for Venus. Somewhere else found them first....
When a sudden impact sends a spacecraft bound for a distant research station hurtling toward a previously unseen and inexplicable planet, responsibility for the safety of its passengers immediately falls on Ivy 'Holly' Wood, a former poster child of the public space program now fleeing Earth's tyrannical leadership.
The mysterious planet's startlingly Earth-like atmosphere initially breeds optimism among Holly's group of stranded survivors, but before long it becomes clear that Earth's rules don't apply and that nothing can be taken for granted.
With all hopes of escape dependent on discovering the true nature of this increasingly hostile planet, Holly and the rest of the desperate survivors know only one thing for sure: Their newly discovered world will not give up its secrets without a fight.
Terradox is a sci-fi thriller/adventure novel from the author of the breakout best seller Not Alone, an Audible.com 'Best of 2016' finalist.
©2017 Craig A. Falconer (P)2017 Audible, Inc.Read by Dina Pearlman, this Audiobook could have been better with a different narrator. Although her pacing is good and her modulation carries vocal interest, her voice is somewhat nasal and abrasive and her character voice differentiation poor, most ending up sounding much like the main protagonist, Holly, who in turn sounds like the text itself. There are occasional exceptions, as with the young boy, Beau, but given that there is a fair amount of dialogue, this does cast a bit of a shadow over the book as a whole.
Altogether, an easy read, imaginative tale for younger audiences.
"Two hundred choices and they're all algae."

It’s quite a novel story line

I got this book because Mr Falconer's first book (Not Allan) was outstanding. It had some plot twists that I found completely unexpected and I loved the book from start to finish.
This book feels like it was maybe finished to hit a deadline given by the publishers. It has plot twists but most of them I picked up on from the very first clue... And yes, I mean the very first clue... It took chapters and chapters for the main characters to catch up with me. There was only one or two twists that I saw much closer to the reveal but nothing that really kept me on my toes.
So in shot, a good book that you will enjoy if you love Sci-Fi like me, but unfortunately falls short of his first work.
Still looking forward to Mr Falconer's next book ;-)
Good Book... Not as good as his 1st

The story is fast-paced and the plot surprises keep, well, surprising; but I thought that the characters were not particularly convincing. The writer's attempt to write a character with conflicted motivation was not, I thought, a huge success. In a sense, I was reminded of "young adult" books by, for example, Philip Pulman. Being compared to Pulman is not a bad thing for an author, I think; but Falconer's fictional worlds and situations do not have sufficient depth and richness to compensate for the thin characterization, while Pulman's do.
So, in the end, not a bad book, and not a regrettable purchase, but not as good as I expected.
Not as good as "Not alone"

The story follows Holly Wood and the other occupants of a spaceship that inexplicably crashes into a planet that no-one can see, and absolutely cannot exist. How is it there? How will they survive? Can they every get home?
The planet is dangerous, and they need to try and find a way of getting to safety. Then they discover that this already weird story isn't the half of it. So it turns from fun sci-fi to a thriller/whodunnit.
It got off to a slightly slow start (it seemed to have a lot of scene to set, which took some time), but once it picked up it rollicked along and was a thoroughly enjoyable adventure. The narration was largely good, although the English accents were a little wide of the mark which I found distracting during the slower parts of the story. Honestly, if the narrator can't do the accent wouldn't it be better not to try and just to use their own voice? Or maybe writers should consider making their characters from more obscure places - if they'd been Norwegians who grew up in Kenya, I'm pretty sure it would have seemed spot-on to my ear.
But, the main point is this is a great book, well worth the listen.
