About this listen

A pulsating sci-fi thriller from the author of the global blockbuster Not Alone—perfect for fans of Andy Weir and A.G. Riddle.

I wasn’t supposed to survive.

The station has been hit. Everyone around me is dead.

I have 11 hours of life support left and no way of contacting Earth.

I’m alone. I’m stranded. I’m desperate.

But I’m alive.

The more of the station I explore, the surer I get that this was no accident. Someone did this, and I don't think they're finished yet.

Making it home feels like an impossible task, but I'm not just fighting for my own life.

I have to protect my family—whatever it takes.

And as long as I’m breathing, this isn't over.

Because whoever did this almost pulled it off...but they made one big mistake: They left the wrong man standing....

I’ve had this in my library for a while and just got around to listening to it. What a story! I’m a big Falconer fan and this didn’t disappoint. Went straight to book 2 once this was finished!

A heck of a ride!

I honestly wasn’t expecting to find a book so enjoyable when I started this, but the description was right, if you thought The Martian was awesome, this one is just incredible and to think it’s just the start in a series is so exciting!

Wow. Just. Wow.

This a very enjoyable listen, nothing too hard or difficult to keep track of.

A few obvious plot points but now 100%guessed correctly.

will certainly continue

An enjoyable listen

Interesting idea, and a v good narration. A few "surprises" are rather telegraphed but still an enjoyable yarn. There are a couple of odd changes in the quality of the recording like if they were edited in later using a different sound setup.

Good, tho with a few rocky patches

I was disappointed with this audio book and Sott Aiello. In much of the narration there is overemphasis on parts of the story that should have far more subtle tones. The story itself had promise but for me was ruined by the narration.

Overly aggressive narration

It's told in a, for me, new and great way. Highly recommended! Give it a chance.

Very good

I have never been a fan of a single authored protagonist, but this book changed my mind. it was brilliantly written, taking into account the messiness involved when under pressure , the flashback memory that built the person, I could go on and on. Craig did a fantastic job and obviously not discounting Scott the narrator, what a brilliant book.

Awesome

Absolutely loved this book, completely unexpectedly. There are twists, turns, pain, hope, deceit, courage - with a constant undertone of humanity.

For readers of Andy Weir: this book felt similar to Project Hail Mary & The Martian.

While some parts felt a very far fetched and, dare I say, ‘Americanised’, this can be forgiven. This book very much turned my head. I initially selected it as I had ran out of good series to listen to before bed, but it quickly became hard to put down.

A must for those who like an isolation-based SciFi novel. I became invested in the characters (both human and avian!), and can’t wait to get stuck in to the next one.

Bravo.

What a ride!

When I first started listening I was unsure how the author could keep the story going for over 11 hours but stuck with it.
So glad I did. Well narrated and while no major shocks or surprises in the storyline I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I enjoyed it so much Im off to buy the second book!

My first Falconer book

So here's a guy working on a space station and he emerges from his laboratory to find everybody is dead, not only that but he sees out of the viewport that the entire surface of the earth has been decimated, billions dead including (as far as he's aware) his wife and small child and yet the chirpy narrator is telling the story as if he discribing a pleasent day out. He doesn't convey any sort of horror, grief, panic or dispair as you might expect under such circumstances. Odd.
