About this audiobook

The first colonization mission to our closest star witnesses Earth go silent during their 20 year journey. When they arrive, the mission survey crew wakes to find they may be the only humans left in existence. Their ship was not designed to make it the four and half light-year return trip to Earth, and even if they did, what if Earth was destroyed or uninhabitable? What can they do but continue?


Nearly a thousand human beings live a pastoral life nestled in their valley. They have no communication with any other humans and assume they might be the only ones left alive in the galaxy. But something is happening to the planet beneath their feet. Can Navi, a 12 year-old girl chosen by some force to save her people, understand the enigmatic and frightening warnings she is receiving? Or will some looming, yet unknown disaster bring the curtain down on the human race?


This book is auto-dictated by Google's AI. As such, it lacks the emotion and impact of a human narrator. To compensate, I have priced this audiobook the same as its ebook version.

About the author

Born to a loving family, Kim Aaron was abducted by Gnomes at five, and spent the next ten years folding underwear in a secret underground facility. Kim found the Gnomes great fun to play with and spent many a night around the lingerie fire listening to great Gnomish tales of adventure, intrigue, and dresser drawers. Having to work during the day, Kim was Gnome-schooled by some of the great Gnome intellects. Later, at Simon Fraser University, Kim learned Gnomes have a rather skewed understanding of both science and business administration. Head screwed on straight, Kim earned a BA (honors) and immediately decided to become a software engineer, tossing everything she'd learned up to this point in a dumpster. Now, semi-retired, she finds she gets bothered by things and so has to write them down, or they begin to ache like an impacted tooth. The most important thing she's learned in life? Those drawer locks on your dresser aren't just for babies.
