Farside Audiobook (Free)

Farside, the medial side from the moon that by no means faces Globe, isthe ideal area for an astronomical observatory. It is also the setting fora tangled web of politics, personal ambition, love, jealousy, and murder.

Telescopes on Earth possess detected an Earth-sized planetcircling a celebrity some 30 light-years away. The competition is on to obtainphotographs and spectra that show whether or not the planet is actually likeEarth-and if it bears life. Farside observatory could have the biggest opticaltelescope in the solar system, and a vast selection of radio antennas-themost sensitive radio telescope possible, insulated from the interference ofEarth’s radio chatter by a thousand kilometers from the moon’s solid mass.

Building the Farside observatory is certainly a complex and oftendangerous task. Within the airless surface of the moon-under constant bombardmentby hard radiation and infalling micrometeoroids-builders must work incumbersome spacesuits and make use of robotic machines whenever you can. Breakdowns,both mechanical and psychological, are commonplace. Incidents happen, some of themfatal. But what they ultimately find will stun everyone, as well as the human racewill under no circumstances be the same.
