Landfall audiobook version. This young adult science fiction story. Earth has been doom by an ecological crisis and its survivors climb into an asteroid in an attempt to find and colonize other planets. I found this idea interesting. WE see life in the asteroid through the eyes of Zack a young cadet in line to become a fighter pilot for the defense of the spacefaring colony ship. All the cadets battle for status via points systems. The competition is intense and the penalty of being on the bottom is catastrophic The inhabitants of the ship both crew and colonists believe they are the only humans alive. This belief gets challenged when an unknown spacecraft appears. The mystery surrounding this spacecraft and its occupants is the heart of this story.>While this isn't a perfect book. It is a good one. I found the society Aubin creates scary. It is a facist state that seems to work. Watching it gradually come apart demonstrates Aubin's writing ability.… (mere)

Homeward audiobook version. Aubin uses this book to let the readers know how the asteroid was created and the deals that were made to insure it was finished. This plot line points to future events detailed in the next book Rendezvous. Homeward begins after the end of the revolution. Now that the victors are in control the revolutionaries are faced with the ugly question "What do we do now?". This series has not been known for its humor. Aubin introduces situations which if viewed from the right angle very funny. It seems that creating chaos is a lot more easier than creating change or running a spaceship with millions of people. Under the circumstances no one ends up happy.Decision making is a royal pain. The revolutionaries do decide to take the asteroid back to Earth. Beyond that they are faced with big questions who's answers are unknowable. The biggest one is Earth habitable? Who are the others and why are they trying to destroy the asteroid?This is another well written book by Aubin. It show his craft as a writer. The end of the book portends other up coming major changes.… (mere)

Rendezvous (The Ship Series Book Four) audiobook version. Aubin wraps up two major plot lines in this book. He covers the backstory of how the asteroid spaceship was built and the deals that were made and reneged on to get the ship on its 5000 year mission. Aubin details the efforts to prepare for what the crew of the asteroid thinks will be the final battle for Earth. Twelve years have pasted since the events of Homeward . Zack who was put in hibernation as a result of his actions in Homeward, is taken out to be part of a fighter group as part of the battle for Earth. The effects of the civilian take over of the asteroid are seen in its deterioration. The true identity of Alpha, the main artificial intelligence , of the asteroid is revealed.So much happens in this novel that is impossible for me to summarize the book.This the fourth book in the series is truly thrilling. I has good balance between action , character development and advancing the plot. I want to read more from this author and will be sad after I listen the last book in this series.… (mere)

Resurgence (The Ship Series # Five). audiobook version. This is a great conclusion to a series that has gotten better and better with each book. All the plot lines come to a satisfying conclusion. I am glad this story came to a conclusion in five novels. Aubin could have stretched this series out much longer like other writers. Instead Aubin wrote compact and intense stories that had great characters, good action, and crisp writing. I look forward to more stories from this author
