Book description
Take Back Plenty by Colin Greenland
Carnival season on Mars has arrived, and the red planet pulses with festivities-but for Tabitha Jute, celebration feels like a luxury she can't afford. Penniless and pursued by the law, she's on the verge of losing everything: her livelihood, her freedom, and her beloved space barge "Alice Liddell." Then Marco Metz appears with an offer that could change everything-a job that leads straight into the heart of adventure.
Colin Greenland's triumphant debut novel doesn't just tell a story; it unfolds like a richly detailed tapestry of interplanetary intrigue. The moment Tabitha accepts Metz's proposition to journey to Plenty, readers are pulled into a universe where the stakes couldn't be higher. Greenland's prose crackles with energy, painting vivid scenes that linger long after the final chapter.
What makes this audiobook particularly compelling is how Greenland weaves together classic space opera elements with something entirely fresh. The Martian carnival setting provides a backdrop that's both exotic and intimately human, while Tabitha's desperate circumstances create immediate emotional investment. Her relationship with her ship, the Alice Liddell, feels as real and vital as any human connection.
The dual recognition from both the Arthur C. Clarke Award and the British Science Fiction Association Award speaks volumes about this novel's exceptional quality. It's easy to understand why-Greenland crafts a narrative that's simultaneously grand in scope and deeply personal. The audio format brings an added dimension to the experience, allowing listeners to fully immerse themselves in the rich world-building and dynamic character interactions.
For fans of intelligent science fiction that doesn't sacrifice adventure for depth, Take Back Plenty delivers on every front. Colin Greenland has created something special here-a story that earns its place among the genre's finest achievements.
