About this listen
Dome 17 is the only safe place left on a dead Earth. Life in Dome 17 takes a dramatic turn after some adventurers return from evaluating other domes. The struggling remnant of humanity cannot remain safe in the dome much longer. The question is where to go and how to get there? Can the lost colony ship program provide a possible refuge? Seven vast colony ships were launched 100 years ago, but can one of them be located? Will it offer a chance to survive?
Cammarry and Jerome are faced with going on a mission using unproven technology. Will the faster-than-light ship work? It can only carry two people, so how will the other 1,500 survivors find safety? Will they reach one of those enigmatic, old, and mysterious colony ships? Will they be able to set up the new teleportation system to bring everyone from Dome 17 to that ship? Will technology work or fail?
What will these brave adventurers and Sandie, their new artificial intelligence system, find on their quest for the Conestoga?
Book one of the Colony Ship Conestoga series.

The story is well written and well paced. The characters are relatable but have been clearly hardened and learnt self discipline living in such a hash world. This seems to leave them to just get on with things when bad things happen being far less emotional than people form today. This may make the characters less engaging to some listeners.
The narration is good, easy to listen to and each character is granted a unique voice. The recording quality is fine and the only errors I noticed were a few lines that were repeated.
All in all an interesting listen and I want to know what happens next.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
Interesting sci-fi looking for a new home.

Any additional comments?
The first book that I listen to by this author was the trailblazer. I really liked that book and wanted to know what is going to happen next.The people of earth (or what's left of them) live in Dome 17. However it is failing so they come up with the idea of sending 7 ships to 7 colony ships that left earth a hundred years ago.
Cammarry and Jerome are sent to the Conestoga. The trailblazer was another colony ship that a ship was sent too. The beginning start off sort of the same as the trailblazer but from Cammarry and Jerome's POV.
I found this book to be a little more slower then the other two in the series or the trailblazer, but it sets the scene of what is going to happen next.
The narrator I did not like. I believe she is not suited for this type of genre. I felt she didn't give anything towards this story. This might be why I also found the book slow.
Great Scifi

The initial section of the book is again dedicated to the days in Dome 17 leading up to the hasty despatch of light speed scout ships, each with just two brave travellers, in search of the ancient Colony Ships sent out over an hundred years before to look for a new life for it's human cargo. The happenings in Dome 17 are again reprised, but this time from the point of view of Cammarry and Jerome, giving the reader a new insight into what actually was happening there - a fascinating addition to the series as a whole.
Erin Macdonald's narration, with good articulation, fast paced reading and distinctive character voices, is sadly marred by the dreadfully unpleasant rendering of the AI, Sandie. So little-girlie grating, it made the computer sound imbecilic and made it very difficult for this listener to continue. A great pity as, without this, both story and narration were good.
This is a fun series which becomes addictive. I am glad to see that a different narrator reads book 2 of the Conestoga series.
