Publisher Description
June 1, 2288 - Europe's first starship, the EASS Galileo, launches on its maiden voyage to investigate an unidentified object, code-named Spindrift, which is traveling outside our solar system. An object that may be alien in origin. The Galileo disappears soon after...
February 1, 2344 - The Galileo's shuttle returns to Earth carrying three surviving expedition members, who still appear to be the same age they were when they departed. They report that they have, indeed, made contact with an extraterrestrial race - and become enmeshed in a conflict that brought them face to face with the most apocalyptic force in the galaxy. It is up to Director General John Shillinglaw to piece together the puzzle created by these events - for the survivors tell their stories from their own conflicting perspectives. And the truth is more difficult to glean than it appears.
BONUS AUDIO: Includes an exclusive introduction written and recorded by author Allen Steele.

Had a problem with naration
I have listened to all the books in the Coyote series and fallen in love with the world and its characters, but for some reason I can't seem to listen to Spindrift. I think its because of the narator they have chosen. He makes everyone sound weasly, snobby, snide and at times it feels like hes overacting. Some of the voices hes choosen for specific characters sound like bad stereotypes.
I think what drew me into listening to the orginal Coyote series was how its narator made everything sound natural and real. I am considering deleteing this audio book and just buying the novel.
