About this listen
Imagine a world, exactly like ours, but different…
Welcome to the H2LiftShips series, a cosmic romp fans have compared to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy for its witty quirkiness, and that critics hail as "The most unique and weirdest book series out there."
Captain Graciela is where she wants to be, far from her controlling mother, in a rented solar sail cargo ship, trading and gambling throughout the heliosphere. It can be lonely in the void, but the crew on the H2LiftShip, the LunaCola, is all the help she needs: Jack, a talking dog with a nose for Earth jerky, Tang, a poker-obsessed orangutan, and Octopus, in his watery navigation station, are her constant companions on her journey.
In book one, Beyond Luna, the crew sets off on a space adventure that has them crossing paths with everything from pirates, anarchists, and poker players, to jail time. Part action-adventure space opera and part tech manual of a possible future, the H2LiftShips series imagines a world where hydrogen balloons lift solar sail ships through outer space to trade goods across planets and asteroids. Here, commerce is the name of the game.
Even in deep space, there is no avoiding family issues. When Graciela inadvertently meets her duplicitous mother on a distant rock, it ignites a family showdown between pirates, thieves, and gamblers. Will Graciela rescue her mother and win it all in a rigged card game, or will the crew lose everything?
Find out in the first volume of the H2LiftShips series – Beyond Luna, where lovers of science, astronomy, chemistry, physics, engineering, and good old-fashioned sci-fi fun will never be the same after their ride on an H2LiftShip.

Bob Freeman tells a magnificent story in H2LiftShi
H2LiftShips- Beyond Luna is the first volume in the series, and I did read the print version, which I gave it four stars. After listening to Mr. Freeman's audiobook, the addition of narration, characters voices and points of view, I bumped it up to a 5. I wish I could have changed the rating as I also read the story again, and then listened again to parts of the story. It is very fascinating, and though it is science fiction, it has a lot of regular science in the mixed, making the story so realistic. This author masterfully brings the story to life, with narration that enhances the character development, and the immersive world Mr. Freeman has created. The characters are profoundly deep and incredibly realistic. His vivid imagination shines through, offering readers a superb journey. Mr. Freeman's exceptional writing, especially in audiobook format, vividly animates his characters. Transitioning from paper to audio, it's a remarkable tale. Should humanity ever venture beyond space shuttles into the cosmos, this narrative could be a glimpse of that future. As a self-proclaimed nerd, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's tantalizing and intriguing, with clear thrills and engrossing characterizations. Beyond Luna on audiobook is a definite listening recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I look forward to listening to many more titles by this author. Amy's Bookshelf Reviews recommends that anyone who listens to this book, to also write a review.
