I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Jesikah Sundin. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

"Feelings are real. They often become one's reality. But they are not always based on truth...."

New Eden Township is more than a dungeon for Fillion Nichols. Sealed inside the experimental Mars colony, there is no escape from anyone, especially the young woman who has haunted his life for nearly six years. To preserve his sanity, he focuses on one goal: decoding the mystery behind the Watson deaths.

Meanwhile, to prove his worth to the Daughter of Earth, a young nobleman ventures beyond the walls of the biodome and experiences the Outside world for the first time. But his quest takes an unpredictable turn when he meets Lynden Nichols and Mack Ferguson, who draw him into their world - an underground community also confined and isolated by society.

As worlds converge, each young man faces a choice that will affect the survival of an entire community. And to save the generation they fight for, both men must defy the boundaries of everything they know.

Cultures collide as The Biodome Chronicles continues in a compelling quest for truth, forging an unforgettable story rich in mystery, betrayal, and love.

Jesikah Sundin is a multi-award winning Ecopunk SciFi (eco / pagan scifi) and Forest Fantasy (faerie tale / historical fantasy) writer mom of three nerdlets and devoted wife to a gamer geek.

And the forest is her happy place.

My name is Sunny Patel and I am a professional British male Voice-Over artist. I was born and bred in London, UK, and woke up with a deep, rumbling voice when I neared adulthood. As a result I have pursued the lifestyle of a Voice Actor / Voice-over artist, not wanting my unique voice to go to waste. I have recorded for multinational companies like Herbal Life, and organisations like The Billy Graham Evangelist Association. I am also narrating a critically acclaimed, award-winning trilogy book series called The Biodome Chroncles by Jesikah Sundin. I have already narrated the first book in the series – Legacy: The Biodome Chronicles – and the audiobook is currently on sale on Amazon and Audible. I can also do voice-overs in other languages, which includes Hindi and Gujarati.

I have been voice trained by coach and mentor, Gary Terrza (https://www.vomasterclass.com), a successful and and well-known voice actor who has been doing his craft for over 25 years.

If you listened to Legacy, the first book in the Biodome Chronicles, you can't stop there. You will need to continue the adventure here. Once more Mr. Patel does a great job of bringing me into the world that Ms. Sundin has created. I'm sure that I would have enjoyed this series whether I read the book or listened but the audio version edges the book out by a hair. There's no way that I would be able to form the pictures in my mind as I can when the right voice actor makes the words they read sing.

In the last book, I thought it would be a great addition to the series on the SyFy channel. I feel the same is true here. The author has created a world that you can see as our future. With this one, we get to see how two characters seem to trade places. One is in our world and one is in New Eden. It was interesting to see how differently they feel about where they are - one seems more accepting about certain things and the other seems so lost because of all the new stimuli. It was nice to see the same characters here and watch some of them interact due to the change in situation.

You could certainly recommend this to your young adult if they love science fiction/fantasy. But if you're one that likes the same, whey not listen to it together and it may give you something to talk about. If you liked the movie Total Recall, you may want to check into this world. You cannot compare them but you can certainly enjoy them for what they are and the possibilities that can be found in each. Within the science fiction and fanasty genres nothing is off limits or not probable. They are pure creativity and may have you wonder if this is what our future holds. Sometimes it can also act as a warning. If we don't change our ways, we just may see this as our future.

I'm left with a quandry though. There are at least two more books in the Biodome Chronicles but the haven't come out in audio form yet. I'm left wondering if I have the patience to wait to see if they ever come out in this form. Maybe I should break down and get the book. I can always get the audio version at another time. I guess I will have to wait and see what wins out. In the meantime, I can always go back and listen to the first two books in the series again.
