In this podiobook: Ida, one of the largest Asteroid in the belt between Mars and Jupiter, has finally been colonized. A group of engineers lead by John McVey, Craig Osborn, Gail Trabor, Andrew Dee and Jennifer McGee, occupy the largest space station every built to plan the future of the tiny colony. Sent there by Kennedy Lacombe, the richest man in the world, their only task is to find ways to mine the asteroid as efficiently as possible. John, however, has grandiose plans including riding a comet around the sun to obtain enough water for the colony to one day survive independent from Earth. His ambition quickly shifts when he discovers an accident with the station's birth control pills causes 20 women, including Jennifer, the woman he loves, to become pregnant. The rules on pregnancy are simple; a baby is a drain on resources and must be removed. John, his friends, and a large group of miners will do anything they can to prevent that, including declaring themselves the first independent colony outside of Earth.

Great storyline
Enjoyed listening to this story. The first few episodes seemed difficult for the reader, but he definately improves as chapters go by. It held my interest and was entertaining. This is one of the better living in space audios. Give it a try.
amazing
I really loved this story. Don't be discouraged by the authors voice at first it progresses and he really developes the characters different voices and nuances. Listen to this story and it will take you to I da and you won't want to leave.

Why do we have to listen to the podiobooks author plugging someone else's work. You can't listen to this author's work without 4 minutes of the "7th Son" JC Hutchins book in front of each episode of this piece. And its all over other author's works in podiobook. Terrible.
