I enjoyed this story. Has that old sci fi feel to it. The reader has an outstanding voice for this genre. And the price was right. 😉

This reader is great

Ben Bova Flight of Exiles is the second installment in his Exiles trilogy. The giant space station turn interstellar generation ship is nearing its destination. Limping along, a fire causes the death of multiple sleepers. In the midst of these issues a new chairman is scheduled to take over as they can begin to assess possible colony worlds. What ensues is a duel between the two contenders for both the chairmanship as well as the hand of a young woman. Staying will require genetically engineering the next generation to survive on the only barely habitable world, while moving on to another star will require much needed repairs and a lot of luck. When accidents begin to occur something or someone much more sinister seems afoot and the woman gambles to flush out the genocidal maniac.

Bova blends a number of classic themes of small group dynamics including diametrically opposed vision of the future as well as societal pressure colliding with a heart’s passion. At the same time, he crafts a planet different enough from Earth (much heavier gravity, sulfurous atmosphere, etc.) as to require some genetic tweaking for human adaptation, although this aspect is downplayed relative to the first book.

The narration is excellent with solid character distinction. Pacing is brisk making for fast listen.

All's fair in love and chairmanships

This one is not a high brow philosophical work, nor does it have any great insights into human nature or any new sci-fi devices, but its written well enough so you can sort of feel like your part of the story and it doesn’t take much effort to listen to. So if you want light entertainment this is a good book.

Entertaining but thin plot

Since the plots of the Exile novellas span multi-generational decades, all with the same singular focus & inter-related characters, I would have much preferred one longer novel instead of three shorter, separate novellas. This could be Space Opera with a much grander sweep! Just as we begin to understand the main characters in each of the episodes, the story ends and we are back to a repeat exposition of who the Exiles are, and what they hope for. The writing could be tighter, the characterizations deeper, and with Stefan Rudnicki narrating, this would be one superb SF adventure!

Instead of 3 Novellas, Why Not One Major Novel?

For a short story I felt there was way too much melodrama and not enough basic action

I'm sorry, this is the least of the books

An okay story filled with tropes. The author was definitely a product of his time. There are multiple dated and cringe worthy moments. The author obviously thought plastic was the way of the future as his favorite adjective seems to be "plastic". Don't bother if you're looking for a great scientific mind.

Not a Sci Fi master

I'm disappointed that the nice beginning of this trilogy was so wasted by this stupid plot. This plot would not have arrived to it's conclusion, if additional stupidity was not sown and distributed across all the characters of the book. I was feeling like listening a brainless story for children. For those who don't want to waste their time ***** SPOILER AHEAD ******





The idea that Dan us crazy and wants to kill everybody, that you had after 10 pages, is the right one. Everyone plays into his hand constantly. nmNit worth knowing more than that. You can skip the rest of the book. They'll be fine .

What an unispired waste of time.

This is the second book in a 3 part series. I enjoyed the first part better, but this is an excellent addition to the story.I will be starting the third part soon.

The story continues

Good middle novel. I'm really interested to see how this turns out! Onward to book three!

I love Stefan Rudnicki
