Space Prison by Tom Godwin ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]

Space Prison by Tom Godwin audiobook.

Genre: scifi

When the colony ship Constellation flees a newly declared interstellar war, its 8,000 passengers believe salvation lies ahead on Athena, a green world beyond the reach of the expanding Gern Empire. Then the Gerns find them. With the ship crippled and air running out, surrender is forced, and the invaders sort human lives with cold efficiency: the skilled become Acceptables, taken onward as slave labor, while the rest are branded Rejects and dumped on the nearest so-called Earth-type planet. Irene Lois Humbolt and her five-year-old son, Billy, are among those abandoned on Ragnarok, a world of punishing gravity, scarce metals, predatory wildlife, and a swift, lethal fever that can erase hard-won progress overnight. Cut off from technology and from the loved ones stolen away to Athena, the survivors must forge shelter, tools, and rules from whatever the planet allows, while grief and anger threaten to splinter them from within. Spanning years and then generations, Space Prison follows a people remade by an unforgiving planet as they fight to stay human, stay alive, and keep a single, dangerous hope burning: that one day the Gerns will answer for what they have done.
