About this listen

Simmering space opera, a dash of hard science fiction, two servings of frenetic action, bubbly neon light adventure, sex, violence, love and -- God? Or just, 'the god'? It's all here in Cameron Lambright's original indy sci-fi racing epic.

FROM THE BACK COVER:

Pilots can have a run of luck, but they'll be dead soon. Buried in backwater racing holes if not obliterated in space. Their lives are short, lived at the edge of death. One wrong step, one collision. Collisions are inevitable. Samson Ford presses a small, wooden cross against his chest and feels how different he is from other pilots, and knows he is no different at all. He thinks of their color hued, cosmetically engineered skin and looks down at his own tanned brown hands. Of their too bright, sparkling eyes and how beautiful their women are. As if they weren't human. As if none of them were, not only the pilots. None of them believed in the god. He thinks of the woman he loves and wonders if she believes. The woman who is one of them, who has secrets, who is different.

He lays in his bunk on a small cargo carrier cruising slowly across the Solar System and stares through a ship's window at distant stars. When he closes his eyes he dreams of the Solar Regatta, the great race around the sun.

Sharply written, pleasure to read.

This novel was a breath of fresh air, while it is a classic story in the sense that it revolves around the experiences of a spaceship racing pilot in our solar system. some 320 years in the future, it stood out to me as something finely crafted and different from the worn out tropes that so many SF authors lazily indulge in these days. It was brisk and tightly written, polished. I recommend. And I am immediately moving on to book two. As I write this review audible's "virtual voice" is something new, and after tackling a couple nonfiction works with virtual voice, this was my first work of fiction. The story was compelling enough that the virtual voice was not a hindrance. I found listening at 1.25 playback offered the most natural sounding narration.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
