The Eighth Continent, Book 1

By: Rhett C. Bruno, Felix R. Savage

Narrated by: Scott Aiello

A lowly construction worker on the moon is Earth’s only chance....

Nick Morrison always wanted to be an astronaut. When a start-up company recruits him to build a lunar launch system at the moon’s south pole, Nick gladly leaves behind his troubled life on Earth—but Nick doesn’t know that the company is in financial and legal trouble.

Deprived of support from Earth, the team on the moon must figure out how to survive on their own. Worse yet, there’s another base at the lunar south pole, run by a ruthless contractor who has big plans for the moon...and for Earth.

Nick’s team just so happen to be in the way.

Join them in their mission to stop the conquest of the Moon and Earth in this new science-based thriller from Nebula Award-nominated author Rhett C. Bruno and NYT best-selling author Felix R. Savage. It’s perfect for fans of The Martian, Artemis, and For All Mankind.

Lots of Climate BS and the story bounces around

Book would be better in the free section of Audible.

The story is ok ish but it really bounces around - they have an insurmountable problem then poof they're past the problem.

Not exactly a waste of time but likely won't get any more from the series.

Perfect fun sci-fi book!

Excellent pacing, solid depth, believable science and just enough tension/emotional range for a very fun read from start to finish!

Creative premise

I enjoyed the premise of the story and Nick's character development. The gradually evolving corporate/government intrigue was thought provoking. More romantic friction regarding main characters would've been interesting. I listened to this book for some escapism and it provided the desirable distraction!

I was mesmerized by Nick's tale!

Yeah I loved the MC, Nick. I was quickly mesmerized by his tale, in this Sci-fi Thriller. I expected no less from the authors and the book really dished it out. Of course it didn't hurt that the action never stopped. Oh how I do love action-driven storylines. The Eighth Continent was a tight well written story about a private company's attempt at colonizing the moon for humanity sake and the governments attempts to thwrat that endeavor.
I haven't listened to many Scott Aiello narratives, but as with the others I've listened to, I found it to be excellent!
So yeah, if you Sci-fi like Rhett C Bruno's Luna Missile Crises, or Felix R Savage's Freefall, or even mystery thrillers, then this book is for you!

Very creative

Good story. Does have an environmental message to it but it is not preachy about it.
