Acerca de esta escucha
An ex-cop who cannot die. A moon full of settlers who cannot thrive.
Mahina's terraformers built a high-tech urban paradise. Then Earth flooded the colony with desperate refugees, cop Sass Collier among them.
The settlers who arrived with Sass died decades ago. Outside the citadel, their descendants die weak and young.
Sass fought a rebellion against the city once. She won concessions to give the settlers a chance at health. She paid with 20 years in prison.
Now she’s out, a reformed character. She assembles an oddball crew doing odd jobs. She intends to mind her own business - how to make a profit on the skyship Thrive.
But her fellow settlers are still failing.
While her business model careens toward circus acts, Sass dares to defy the city again, to solve Mahina’s failure to thrive.
Pick up Skyship Thrive because you love upbeat character-driven SF with fun technology. Suggested for fans of Firefly, Lindsay Buroker's Star Kingdom, or Nathan Lowell’s Golden Age of the Solar Clipper books.

When Malia Kwan exhibits unusual abilities, government agents show up at her home to apprehend her and her twin brother, Jaden - and all hell breaks loose. After their parents are killed, Jaden and Malia flee into the night, becoming fugitives.

Historia
As if nearly burning up in a freak accident on her way to Earth wasn't bad enough, Daisy had a whole mess of other trouble on her plate. Big trouble. And she was going to get to the bottom of it if it was the last thing she'd do, which it was starting to look like it very well might be. The thing is, Daisy had a simple rule for space travel. Don't blow up, and so far she'd been managing to abide by that, but mere survival wasn't enough.

Historia
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Historia
My name is Kazimir Wolfe. People call me "Kaz", except they don’t. I never use my real name; it’s too dangerous, for me and for anyone I meet. I’m on the run from the law, who think I killed my aunt, and from whoever did kill her, because they want to finish the job. So, I move around a lot, working construction or whatever job I can find. It’s a lonely life. I don’t let anyone get close...people who get close to me end up dead. Why? I’m a wizard. The world’s only wizard, as far as I know.

That means doing things by the book. Find salvage, turn it in, get paid. But everything changes when a retrieval mission lands him in a previously unknown sector. There, he finds the material he’s been sent to recover, along with something more. A brand-new form of ancient alien life.

A thousand years ago, an alien invasion set humanity back to the Iron Age. Slowly, we recovered, colonizing the Solar System in peace. And discovered that an unknown force is stopping us from exploring any farther. But before the cause can be discovered, a slow-burning conspiracy threatens to explode into System-wide war. With enemies at home and in the darkness beyond, a team of unlikely heroes-a janitor, a mercenary, an asteroid miner, and a pirate-are the only ones who can avert a second apocalypse. This set includes the first three books of the newly-finished REBEL STARS series.

Historia
Geoff and his friends live in Phocaea, a distant asteroid colony on the Solar System's frontier. They're your basic high-spirited young adults, enjoying such pastimes as hacking matter compilers to produce dancing skeletons that prance through the low-gee communal areas, using their rocket-bikes to salvage methane ice shrapnel that flies away when the colony brings in a big (and vital) rock of the stuff, and figuring out how to avoid the ubiquitous surveillance motes.

York August Sixteen was abandoned as a baby, abused and molested as a child, and beaten and harassed as a teen and had his rightful place in the Republic's Space Navy stolen from him. Fighting back against huge government systems was useless. Dispensing justice on an individual, case-by-case basis was more to his liking, yet even that was taken away when he was stationed on a lonely communication space station. York's life would change when he decided to seek justice for people even less fortunate than him.

My name is Alphonse Malloy, and I see everything. From a simple glance, I know your hobbies, what you ate for breakfast, how well you slept, and whether or not your wife is secretly seeing the high school biology teacher when you're not around. I can't explain how or why I get these feelings, only that I know they're true. All the little secrets you're too afraid to tell. Sometimes, that means helping people. Other times, it means staring down the barrel of a loaded gun. I wish I could tell you I was using this ability for good.

A nice read, as long as you're not an action junky
I enjoyed this book, but it's definitely not an edge-of-your-seat thriller. I saw one reveiwer bewail "farming in space"-- which is overharsh but not exactly wrong. I also saw it compared to Firefly and when the ship first started collecting characters I started fuming that it was a poorly masked direct imitation, but then it did veer off in its own direction. Not Firefly-- but a pleasant meander.

Sets a stage for plenty of plot lines
Solid speculation of how political and social structure of a human populated world might have developed.

Funny and likeable characters? It's a no-brainer.
I read this book when it first came out, and I jumped at the opportunity to listen to it in audio. It was a fun read, but the book via Audible is fabulous. Veronica Giguere’s portrayal of the potpourri of characters makes them come alive in your mind. I hope that this partnership can continue and that Ms. Giguere will so enliven the rest of Ms. Booth’s “Thrive Spacecraft Adventures.”
The author has created an interesting and complicated world, and she has populated it with a cast of interesting--if offbeat--characters that you’re sure to like. She’s a master at dialogue, her scientific postulates are sufficiently plausible, and she’s funny. Funny and likable characters? What more do you want?
I admit that I’m biased because I love all of Ms. Booth’s work, including her original dystopian series (the Calm Act; Feral America), which consists of a dozen or so books focused on a divided and desperate America, struggling to maintain a civilized society in the midst of devastating climate change. I think they’re well written, entertaining, and thought-provoking—and thus are important!

Mission: ensure humanity thrives among the stars
I loved the Thrive Space Colony series and have read the books multiple times, but there is something magical about hearing the story narrated, that brings it to life. Veronica Giguere is outstanding as the narrator.

Likable characters/interesting world
Great narration! Storyline wraps up, but leaves you wondering what they will get up to next. I will definitely be checking out the next book in the series! It reminds me a bit of the Buroker's Star Kingdom series, but more of Bova's Grand Tour series. Not romance heavy.

Great book made even better with great narration!
I've read several of Ginger Booth's books and loved all of them. Her writing is at once sophisticated and down to earth. Her characters feel real, her scenes are believable, her stories are engaging and thrilling.
This audio version takes it to a new level. Veronica Giguere's performance is outstanding! Each character's voice is crafted to convey every nuance.
I look forward to the next audio version of Booth's work, and I hope she continues to work with Giguere. Winning combination!

narrator is weak.
good story, good premise. it is as if the narrator is deliberately trying to put me to sleep with her soparific delivery. I am almost certain that I will not be able to finish this. I have started it three times so far, and despite the fact that I love the premise and the description, the narrator is just painful.

Fun story, excellent narration
As a long time fan of Ginger Booth, I throughly enjoyed Skyship Thrive when I first read it. It has a cast of wonderfully quirky but believable characters in a thoughtfully imagined setting. I am delighted that it has received the first class audible production which it deserves. Veronica Giguere does a splendid job of creating distinctive voices for each character without making them sound cartoonish. Her diction is clear and easy to listen to. All in all, a first class audible book in every regard. Note that this review is based on a pre-issue copy provided by Ms. Booth.

Engaging dramatization of an awesome series
Love deep characters with flaws and strengths who win you over with their intelligence and humor? Love imagining humanity trying to make it, far away from earth? Start here. Veronica Giguere's dramatization brings both the inner conversation of Sass, budding starship captain, and all the rest of the characters, to life, with great voicings. You're in for a treat starting Ginger Booth's Thrive series here, it's still being written and it ties back to her other series about how humans got into this mess.

Great start to a new series!
I liked reading the book. I loved hearing it as an audiobook. Veronica Giguere brought the characters to life. Ginger Booth wrote distinct, vivid characters, in a good solid story. I liked this new series and I can’t wait to live the rest of the books brought to life.
