    About this audiobook

    In the wasteland, only power matters.

    The world is in ruins. Scattered pockets of humanity rule over their own territory, and by the 24th century, a merciless political group known as the Party has seized control of the nation through military force.

    They'll never let that power go.

    Party soldiers patrol the streets around the clock, and the citizens are watched day and night by cameras and drones. Freedom is dead, but from the darkness comes a glimmer of light-a hope of overthrowing the vicious regime.

    The perfect soldier has been created. Now, it is up to the young members of Project Genesis to take the fight to the Party. But the Party have their own secret projects lying in wait, ready to counter this new threat.

      4/5ths of the novel deals with the politics and technological breakthroughs of building a colony ship that would last 10,000 years - long enough to reach a distant star. The remainder is about life aboard a closed environment that has a small contingent of technicians and a much society of farmers drawn from a fundamentalist religious sect called the Believers. This is really two stories, one dovetailed into the next.I've got some serious mixed feelings about this novel. On the one hand, Paul wrote a compelling story, but on the other I found myself skimming at times. I realize that Paul has created a future world, requiring a vast amount of detail, but at times the story got lost in the clutter. In one scene it took 6 pages to get a character from one point to another several hundred feet higher.I found this book unnerving and frightening as it so fully reflected much of what goes on in the world of politics and religion throughout history. The characters were very real, such that I found myself demanding that some of them grow spines and stand up to the evil so abundant in the pages. But I also understand that not everyone can be a Rambo, practiced in the art of killing without thought and without emotion. The characters showed emotional and physical weakness and the frailties of the human condition. It also displayed personal strength and how great minds can be so easily misguided, embracing the very evil they so vehemently denounce, all in the name of God.I was disturbed when one of the few characters that showed common sense, logic and intelligence was murdered in the act of rescuing another survivor from the evil clutches of Bishop Nemmer and his army of heartless murdering inquisitors. For that I have to hand it to Paul for being able to stir such deep emotions in me.This is a cruel novel, steeped in mindless faith, ignorance and power. Ugly as it is, I think Paul is one of the few writers who can look so deeply into the hearts of men and find what should be so clearly seen, but often is hidden beneath the cloak of piety and good works. And yet, the novel rejoices in the technological abilities of man.I'm not one to pick a novel apart over typos, but there were far too many. You'd think a novel published by Baen would be almost error free.In a way I was saddened that the novel ended where it did. I felt it was incomplete, but then I could see where this could lead to a series. Still, once I got a couple chapters in I felt compelled to complete the reading even though it was far too detailed for my taste.The key word, if one must be sought to describe this novel, is 'disturbing'.
    • 4/5
      A series of stories from the early history of The Ark. While it was interesting the characters aren't around long enough to get to know them well.
