Read by Dale Grothmann
This science fiction novel takes place in the year 2203, if we take literally the age of 250 years. A rogue planet, populated by strange machines known as Pyramids, has stolen the Earth from the Solar system, taking it off into interstellar space. The moon has been 'ignited' by alien technology to serve as a miniature sun around which both planets orbit. This new sun is rekindled every 5 years, though as the book opens, the rekindling is nearly overdue and there is fear among the populace that it may never happen again. - Summary by Wikipedia (3 hr 55 min)

Reviews
Big words, Little meaning
David Stame
Horrid writing! Felt as if 2 6th graders got a hold of a thesaurus and decided to write a story... Unfortunately, they didn't use a dictionary! Pedestrian at best. The sentence structure, wording, and even the character names were ridiculous. The reader (although monotone at times) did an excellent job with what he had to work with. And the sound quality was superb! All that said, I feel that some of the underlying concepts were quite groundbreaking for us time. just absolute poorly executed. I am about 90% sure that whomever wrote "The Matrix", definitely got some of their ideas from this badly written story. Or at least were so saddened by the writing, decided to come up with a much better version themselves.
Reasonably satisfied in Borneo

This is an old school sci-fi story. It plods along...but there are some interesting concepts to consider.
