Über diesen Titel

"Narrator Jennifer Hale's outstanding performance brings this story of alien invasion to life.... Hale's range of differentiation is masterly as she animates all the quirky characters Kira meets. From the rough, snarky slang of ex-military woman to the half-mad musings of a human 'ship mind,' every unique voice enhances the listening experience." (AudioFile magazine, Earphones Award winner)

This program includes an afterword read by Christopher Paolini, as well as a bonus conversation between Christopher Paolini and Jennifer Hale.

To Sleep in a Sea of Stars is a brand new epic novel from New York Times best-selling author Christopher Paolini.

This program is read by Jennifer Hale, a Canadian American actress and singer who has appeared in hundreds of cartoon episodes and taken on roles in well over 185 video games, winning multiple awards. Her varied roles include Commander Shepard in Mass Effect, Rosalind Lutece in BioShock Infinite, Cinderella in both games and animation, Kronika in MK11, Naomi Hunter in the Metal Gear series, several roles in The Powerpuff Girls, Justice League, Avengers Assemble, the Emmy Award-winning Lost in Oz, Jean Grey/Phoenix in both games and animated series, and dozens more. This is her first audiobook.

Kira Navárez dreamed of life on new worlds.

Now she's awakened a nightmare.

During a routine survey mission on an uncolonized planet, Kira finds an alien relic. At first she's delighted, but elation turns to terror when the ancient dust around her begins to move.

As war erupts among the stars, Kira is launched into a galaxy-spanning odyssey of discovery and transformation. First contact isn't at all what she imagined, and events push her to the very limits of what it means to be human.

While Kira faces her own horrors, Earth and its colonies stand upon the brink of annihilation. Now, Kira might be humanity's greatest and final hope....

This book scratches that hard(ish)-sci-fi itch I've been missing now that The Expanse has come to an end. The story is solid with an interesting premise and great characters. Though it is a bit long winded (I didn't have any issues with this, but some people might be put off by this). Jennifer Hale's performance in voicing this book is, as expected from her, absolutely stellar (FYI: One of her most known performances is as Commander Shepard in the Mass Effect trilogy). She really brought the Characters to life, from the borderline crazy Gregorovich to the snarky Sparrow.
All in all, this book is definitely worth a listen!

A great Sci-fi listen

Ich habe die ganze Zeit auf den angekündigten Plot gewartet, der erst ganz zum Schluss kam. Dazwischen ein Haufen Geballer und Kriegsgetümmel. Sehr langatmige Realisierung einer eigentlich guten Idee.

zu viel geballer

The story is excellent - but I'd give 7 stars for the performance if possible.

Outstanding performance!

The reader makes listening to this story an absolute treat.
Please write some more, Mr. Paolini.

Also, don't give the right to make a movie out of this to complete idiots again, like with Eragon...

Years ago I picked up a copy of Eragon in my favorite bookstore and looked into it too see if it was any good. In my opinion it was dreadful and, after scanning some sections I quickly put it down again. I am always very cautious about trying a new author and had I remembered Paolini to be the author from them past I certainly would not have spared a second thought on buying the sea of stars. Fortunately my memory is not that good. What a change in use of language and storytelling Paolini demonstrated, what a great development.
Sleeping In A Sea Of Stars is worth every minute and every moment spent listening.
Jennifer Hale says in the appended conversation with Christopher Paolini something along the lines that she goes, she has not messed up. No, you didn't, quite the opposite. Together with Robin Miles you are now on top of my list of favorite storytellers and I will keep an eye on other books you read.

Worth every minute and every moment listening

What a ride. The book starts with a very innovative outset and bored me a little in the middle part with too much running and shouting and Now We Learn All The Characters Back Stories At Once and Oh, Now The Whole World Is At Stakes sci-fi tropes. Still I had so much fun. The characters are interesting and relatable, the physics seems coherent and the story touches a lot of important topics. I liked a lot that the cast has interesting and layered women AND men. Jennifer Hale is a treat to listen to, even though she sometimes changes the main characters voice a bit too much.

Long and wondrous

Clapping when the book was over

Jedes Mal, wenn Jennifer Hales ruhige, leicht verträumte Stimme in meinem Ohr ertönt, mache ich unwillkürlich einen Schritt seitwärts, trete aus dem Alltag heraus und in die Welt hinein, die sie erschafft. Auch wenn die Story ihre kleinen Schwächen hat - sie entfaltet eine unwiderstehliche Sogwirkung, der ich mich nicht entziehen kann. Immer wieder!

Ein unwirklicher Traum

i have to admit i obly bought this cause i heard its read by jennifer "commander shepard" hale. she has such a strong soothing voice that has a meditative effect on me. the book itself is decent.

Awesome Voice

I really liked the narrator and would definitely recommend her, for other audiobooks. The book itself I did not love as much. The story is fine, but in the end it’s just Spider-Man‘s Venom in space. Most of the interesting, sci-fi part of the world building is wasted in appendices. The rest is rather shallow and full of filler (or at least it felt like it to me). The characters are pretty standard (the gruff, good-hearted captain, the naïv and impulsive young kid,…). The most interesting one is the ship‘s „AI“ (also an great idea!). Anyway - it’s okay, and an easy listening. But I expect more from a good sci-fi story.

Great narration, mediocre book
