Acerca de esta escucha
The Harvest is a short novel of future history. No, it’s a bit more than just that - Alec Sand has created a detailed future in which his characters move. It is a future in which a substance called iridium - a substance from which power is derived - has changed things significantly. The Harvest is hard science fiction in which the ideas and concepts generously flow.
In this future, in which Gideon and his sister, Dara, reside, Dara has a disease that Gideon is convinced has a cure somewhere “out there”. He takes her with him on a mining expedition to a new planet.
A unique aspect of this audiobook is its soundtrack. There are several songs that play at various times throughout the audiobook, usually as bridges between chapters or sections. A band called Silk84 provided the music, and the songs are included in full.

Generations of writers have explored these new frontiers and the endless possibilities they present in great detail. The Final Frontier delivers stories from across this literary spectrum, a reminder that the universe is far large and brimming with possibilities than we could ever imagine, as hard as we may try.

Historia
The very far future: The galaxy is a drifting wreck of black holes, neutron stars, and chill white dwarfs. The age of star formation is long past. Yet there is life here, feeding off the energies of the stellar remnants, and there is mind, a tremendous galaxy-spanning intelligence each of whose thoughts lasts a hundred thousand years. And this mind cradles memories of a long-gone age when a more compact universe was full of light... The 27th century: Proxima Centauri, an undistinguished red dwarf star, is the nearest star to our sun. How would it be to live on such a world?

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.

Historia
Roger Torraway watched in horror as the monster lurched, toppled over and died. Project Man Plus had gone suddenly and drastically wrong. The race to colonize Mars was too important, too costly, and America was already too committed, for plans to be scrapped. They would have to make a new Martian. And Roger Torraway was it, candidate for the endless surgery, operation after painful operation, that would enable him to survive on that faraway planet.

Historia
The artifact is found seven miles below the surface of the sea and beneath 40 more feet of sand. The Navy's efforts to raise a wrecked submarine uncover it - and set in motion a scientific race to retrieve it, to discover just what it is and where it came from. Denser than any substance known to man, it has broken every drill bit they've tried on it and will not budge an inch. It resists every effort to breach it - or communicate with it.

Historia
Predator ships stream into human space in unprecedented numbers. The Colonial Marines, controlled by Weyland-Yutani, respond to the incursion, thus entering the Rage War. This terrifying assault by the Yautja cannot go unchallenged, yet the cost of combat is high. Predators are master combatants, and each encounter yields a high body count. Then, when Lt. Johnny Mains and his marines - the VoidLarks - enter the fray, they discover an enemy deadlier than any could imagine.

Writers shouldn't read their own work.
This was a good story but the narration and and production were painful. At times it seemed like he was bored with his story. At odd times music would come in that didn't seem to have anything to do with the story,

not good, I am sorry to say
I really feel guilty giving a bad review to this, because it has that desperate, aspiring author who longs to fulfill his dream feel to it, and seems a very grass roots effort and self published. It is also dirt cheap in comparison to most audible books, which is understandale and, I think , justified. I hate to rain on the parade, but listeners should be warned.
First, the narration is really bad. The author reads the story, and without going into all the gory details of why that doesnt work, will just say that he didnt pull it off at all and needed to get either a profesional, or a friend with a knack for it, if possible, or even someone who is trying to break into the voice acting/narration industry.
Second, like the book itself, it is an attempt to also launch an unknown band. The music at best adds nothing and is at the very best very average, and at worst is a true irritation, really not good stuff at all, interfering with the story and seeming disconnected and pointless.
Third, the writer really should have engaged an editor, as there are all sort of grammatical and word usage errors, not to mention the story could have been refined, the language refined, and the overall quality improved very much by some editing. No one is perfect, and I am not at all nit picky about such things, so the fact that I even noticed it, on numerous occassions, indicates a problem.
Finally, the story is really nothing special. It has some really cliched elements and I think I have encountered this story, in various permutations and combinations, in many other works. There is a bit of interesting character development, but only a bit, and as I said, the narration really hurts even that one small good point.
Anyway, best of luck to the author, and perhaps others will like it, and since it is reasonably priced, it is worth a try as maybe you will find something appealing in it that I did not, but I would reduce my expectations going into it.
