I've listened to all 6 books now three times, and for some reason just like how I watch the original Star Trek episodes over and over through the years, that's what this story does to me, sort of like comfort food. I just keep listening every few months, thank you to the writer and narrator.
@@GeraldMKilbyAuthorHello! Could I ask, could you write, publish, tell us - your fans, about your writing process? These books hit somewhere between Andy Weir and Robert Heinlein - and I'd (we'd?) love to know how you go about your story telling.
Sensational Sci-fi series! Excellent author with the ability to make one see & feel his characters, but also Mars itself. Again, where are the Hollywood producers? How has this gem slipped through their fingers?
Thank you so much for your generosity in making these free to the world! I could hardly force myself to pause this excellently written series to do anything else as I burned through these over the last week.
Thanks so much for this series. For those of us who are either vision impaired and/or unable to hold books, people like you are life and sanity savers. Found these while stuck in a hospital bed. Very grateful. Cheers from the covid free arse end of Oz. * *Typed by caregiver from dictation So many books, so little time.
YOU SIR, are a Gentleman and Scholar. These books aid in fueling the imagination of human beings by taking us on journeys of the mind which benefits us all. Thank you so much !
Quite beautiful last chapter in Colony Three. A senior citizen I too own a piece of land my mother and father loved and toiled in. I too find I have outgrown it and found my own way many thousands of miles and a universe away. To be painfully honest I could not get away fast enough. I had to make my own way with my own mistakes. May your path be as challenging and successful.
I wasn’t sure about this series when I first started. But as of listened to the entirety of all three books I found myself really swept up in the story. I found myself really liking him and gizmo. I was really hoping for a return of gizmo by the end of the third book. Thank you for posting this. I did enjoy this immensely.
There are 3 more books in the series! Woohoo!! ..the adventure continues. And it's the same narrator too! I will go grab them on audible. Thanks for sharing Mr. Kilby. I have SOO enjoyed the three that you so generously shared.
What an awesome story!!! It’s been keeping me company while I installed wood flooring. Really entertained me! The narrator is perfect for this story, really did a great job!!
I just finished listening to this third book. These are the first audio books I have listened to. Now I have the desire for 4 5 and 6. We'll see if I can. Mr. Kilby you are a great author. You write my kind of book. Thank you. Also I would like to thank you for sharing these books I have listened to these past days. I find to get the fullness from it I end up relistening to parts when distracted. Thank you again.😉👍👍😊😊❤
I have truly enjoyed this series very much. Thank you for taking us on a wonderful journey. I even listen to it with my grandson. He gets very interested and hates to shut it down for bedtime. He is only 8 but he loves a good science fiction about Mars. ( In some ways he is much older,) In our dreams we go there together lol . And to the narrator thanks for an excellent job.
Thank you very much to writer and the recording team who have made this audiobook available in the public domain. I have not been able to stop listening to this story since I have stated a few days ago with the first part. I wish it was endless. It has been an amazing journey through science, and exploration of another planet and the human soul. THANK YOU
this series is absolutely catching me, i cant stop listening, THANK YOU for sharing this! whatr an amazing storytelling! -both the book and the narrator
I enjoyed these books very much. Always knew there was something about those potheads. One observation about the whole series there seemed to be an awful lot of iron bars randomly scattered around the colony.
-All kidding aside, I LOVED reading the first book trilogy & just ordered the book for 4,5 & 6. I love stories about survival on Mars & this one had my attention from beginning to end. 🔥
Stoked about book three. Here we.to! I have been having a terrible time lately and these books have given me a beautiful reprieve from the grueling day to day trash. Please keep us posted on any other books! I am officially a diehard fan
Great story. I realised what humans are doing to this beautiful planet and only place where humanity exists till now. Pls take of your planet and most importantly respect it. It's a humble request to also release colony four mars. 😊
Used to be a prodigious reader but now partially blind in one eye so it’s tiring. I greatly appreciate this series. Up there with Asimov (IMHO) with better character development. Thanks
Does anyone believe those Audible ads? Like those actors are being our best friends and they're spontaneously showing us how they've made money and are so generous that they want to share with the audience! But I bet a lot of people are suckered into believing the scam! Beware.
Thank you ! You’re inspiring future scientists that will take us further. More and more people will discover this highly enjoyable book, you will see millions of views for your brave move.
Just finished listening to this trilogy, enjoyed all three, brilliant sci fi action, would make a good film. Appreciate you posting them Mr Kilby, thank you. Do you have any other books in the making?
Glad you enjoyed them. You can find links to all my books on geraldmkilby.com. There are three more in the Colony Mars Series and five so far in The Belt Series. ;-)
Mr. Kilby, I'm so impressed with your series of 📚 books. I love Jann and Gizmo so much. I feel as though I know them...maybe Im a Beta? Kudos Sir, well written. Thank you 😊
I really enjoyed this series, a great original story and the ending made me laugh with ironic glee! I’m not a great fan of the illogical “breast beating “ of the heroine though, people that constantly blame themselves for events outside of their control become irritating after a time. That said, who really likes perfect heroes!
I was soooooo happy to see the second and third books! These are amazing! GREAT sifi!!! Thank you for putting them on UA-cam! I love audible books! Love the narrator!! Her voice is soothing. You did an amazing job with narrating these books! Watching for book four! 😍😁
Absolutely wonderful. I must thank a I love your work. 2 questions :) 1 will there be a 4th as I'd love to see how the colony grows and perhaps how earth and Mars get on. Also, do you have some place to donate as I would truly like to thank you for sharing your wonderful work freely.
I stumbled upon this after listening to the Martian on UA-cam. And have to say I very much enjoyed all three books. Will definitely be continuing the Colony Mars series before starting your Belt series! Ps... I hope you get a movie deal, these three books would make great movies!
@@GeraldMKilbyAuthor Just finished Listening to the third audio book… I am very much looking forward to 4, 5 and 6 as I feel the need to return to Mars 😉 Great series!!!

Thanks, glad you enjoied it. I do the same with some of my favourite audiobooks, listen to them multiple times.

Much respect to the author who wrote this series, released the audiobooks on his channel and for engaging with his audience.

Addictive. One of thee best scifi piece ever enjoyed. No regrets listening for long hours. Highly recommended

Fantastic series. So well written and great audiobook,
I've listened to it like 8 times now so she is getting her money's worth from adds from me
Thank you so much for your generosity in making these free to the world! I could hardly force myself to pause this excellently written series to do anything else as I burned through these over the last week.
Me too! I’m testing the family’s patience

Wonderful, isn't it? I'm hoping that my partner, who is blind, will enjoy these as much as I have. 😊
Listening right along with you. Hope you get better soon 😁
Hi folks,I agree with ya'll. Am listening to Colony 3 now and Mr Kilby sure is an awesome author. God Bless everyone.
Hey I had to look up the narrator, Nicol Zanzarella, she is definitely good. She can probably make any book interesting.
YOU SIR, are a Gentleman and Scholar. These books aid in fueling the imagination of human beings by taking us on journeys of the mind which benefits us all. Thank you so much !
Thank you for writing these three wonderful books and sharing with us for free. It captured me from minute one to the end.

One of the best and most original modern sci fi series I've listened to in ages.
Thank you for sharing these 3 books with all of us on youTube
I absolutely love these stories. Would love to hear more from the author like what he was posting.

this trilogy is brilliant!!! thank you Gerald...... who's coming to mars with me??? 😁
not me! if you live on mars you cannot return to earth as the author indicates.
with that said, kudos to the author.
I'll come, for sure! We have all got to die somewhere. Florida, Bournemouth, Australia.
Or Mars.
There is adventure and opportunity up there. I'm in
Ty Mr. kilby excited to listen to book three, your series has been awesome so far.

This is a great trilogy, three books and I’m still disappointed it’s over.
Thank you so much!

He's a good little droid.
