Publisher Description
First contact: the dream that became a nightmare when the first alien life encountered swarmed locust-like through the solar system. Merciless. Relentless. Unstoppable. With little hope of halting the invading forces, Earth's last, desperate roll of the die was to send out three colony ships--seeds of Earth--to different parts of the galaxy.
Earth may perish but the human race would live on, somewhere. 150 years later, the human colony on the planet Darien has established a new world for humanity and forged a peaceful relationship with the planet's indigenous race, the gentle, scholarly Uvovo. But there are secrets buried on Darien. Life is about to change for the last children of Earth, as surprises spring from below and above. How will the Darien colonists react when all they have worked for is overturned at a stroke? And what choices will the Uvovo make when their true nature is revealed and the skies grow dark with enemies?

Fantastic
Fell in love with the book, fantasic storyline gripping and well wrote, buying second book right now
Long Winded endless babble.
It like listerning to a party political broadcast, but in space !!! Long winded and frankly boring, almost finished the first book, but could not stand any more.
Average
Being a big audio book fan I had high expectations of this download. The narrator is good and manages to provide distinct accents to the different characters helping to identify them as the story is read.
The plot is ok but the style seems simplistic and there are many cliched and predictable components. Much of the book seems to be a compilation of ideas from other sci-fi books and films with the heroes having infuriatingly "convenient" lucky twists to the plot that influence their success.
I can't imagine that I will be persuaded to listen the rest of the books but I may have been spoiled having listened to many outstanding books from the likes of Iain M Banks before this one.
