A HOLE IN THE SKY Arkship Trilogy, Book 1

Narrator Elizabeth Klett transports listeners to the starship DAEDALUS, which is filled with settlers who are struggling to survive amid increasingly fraught conditions. After a mutiny destroys the ship's equipment, the colonists live starkly simple lives. Many are resigned to the status quo, but others, like 16-year-old Hazel, yearn for a better life. Klett effectively communicates Hazel's tenacity and independent thinking as she continually questions the ship's rituals and long-held beliefs. When alerted to a hull breach, she is the first to leap into action, embarking on a harrowing journey to save the ship and its people. Klett's animated portrayal of Hazel is captivating, and her excellent pacing maintains momentum. Listeners will eagerly await the next installment in this engaging audio-original series.
