About this listen
She came to Gliese to save her marriage. Now she's trying to save herself. This dangerous bit of rock is quite possibly the worst place in the universe to bring a troubled relationship. And trying to save it while hiking through the wilderness might be the worst decision Annie's ever made.
She's willing to risk it.
The light jumper drops Annie and her researcher-husband on the planet's surface. All that's left is the treacherous Wadamongo River, bad directions, and the trail leading to the safety of the big water station. It isn't long before her husband's arrogance translates to disaster, leaving Annie to make her way alone. At the station, she finds more danger than safety and more questions than answers. What destroyed all the electronic equipment? What are the noises she's hearing at night?
Who is the man whose cabin she's inherited?
And happened to the scientists who were supposed to greet her?

Short, but an interesting story

There is so much packed into this short story, about, amongst other things, adventure, monsters and salvation. It is a real joy, funny, too. I loved this tale and it should have been five stars; unfortunately a star was lost in the narration. Although Trish Helsel has a pleasant sounding voice and reads well, she also adds such a depressing down turn in most sentences that I personally found it difficult to listen to her and it distracted me from what was being said. Even though, told in the first person as it was, a little pessimism could easily have crept in, if the intention was to convey perhaps, frustration, irritation and ongoing anger, it failed badly. Better to read the text version, if possible, to fully enjoy the story without distraction.
