About this audiobook
Life on Minea isn't all that the shiny brochures back on Earth promised the passengers of Ship 12-22. In order to survive, most of the population must slave away in the dark, unforgiving caverns of the Yyinum mines.
Ethan's position as governor proves to be less effective than he hoped as he clashes with the power-hungry companies that control the planet. While on a surveying ship, Ethan and the crew crash-land into the cavernous depths beneath the Karst Mountains, where a maze of tunnels and slew of fatal dangers block their journey home.
Above ground, a deadly epidemic sweeps the planet, and Ethan's wife, Aria, is torn between searching the mountains for him and finding a cure. When a mysterious craft appears in the sky, Kaia and her father, Admiral Phillip Reagan, must prepare for a battle with a species they know nothing about.
As their world descends into chaos, can these self-appointed guardians bring hope of survival to Minea?

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I'm torn with this series. The characters are interesting and the world has some fascinating peculiarities. The missing piece is some idea that ties it all together and makes us care about what happens. I am impressed by the variety of ideas and level of detail that Russell puts into the world but I just don't have a sense of why all this is important. What does it tell me about humanity or myself? Some aspects feel a bit manipulative but I think that is softened by exploring the thoughts and motivations of those characters that appear to be macguffins or one dimensional baddies. I'd be interested to read more in this world but I really hope there's some deeper concerns apparent in the next books of the series.
