About this listen

When Van gains rank as a Peacemaker, he becomes a bigger target for the criminals scattered among the stars.

And he wouldn’t have it any other way.

On a distant world under an alien sun, hunters and their companions—the Rovan—bond in a ritual as old as their civilization. But one of the hunters is missing, and Van, along with his growing crew, knows where to look. Climbing up into the rarified air of the super-rich, Van uncovers a new enemy: The Fade.

And they are as cruel as the stars are many. A gang of heartless killers, the Fade will stop at nothing in the name of profit, which is fine with Van, as he’ll stop at nothing in the name of justice.

Tracking his quarry across a dozen systems, Van, Torina, Perry and Icky—along with Zenophir, the new technician—will untangle a conspiracy of betrayal and death. As Van soon discovers, the Fade never lose.

But they’ve never met Van and his crew.

Engaging and Entertaining

This is more about the series as a whole, not just “Blue Shift”, from the perspective of an almost 60 year old.
As a person that is still working in a full time tech career and on the cusp of retirement, sometimes you just need a little break from reality. A suspension of belief and immersive story/adventure to relax by. Just like a good Sci Fi/fantasy TV series. To me, the story is engaging, the characters relatable, the descriptions, enough for the mind to build on. Enough to make you want to read/listen to the next book just to see what happens. “Blue Shift” is also a good place to end the series, with possibilities and on a positive note.
Incidentally, my criteria on whether a book is good or bad is simple.
If it was a dream that I awoke from, would I say “We’ll… THAT sucked…” or would I say “Wow, that was pretty freaking cool!” Well, in my opinion, this series is pretty freaking cool.

MOSTLY great...

3/4 of the story is up to the high standards of the earliy series, but it drags for a while just past halfway. Kafer never disappoints, and with RC Bray is a particular favorite. ON TO #6!!

Loved it

Can't think of any major complaints and look forward to starting the next in the series. it's always refreshing when a series maintains its appeal/quality after this many books.

Great storyline

Great story line but the end appeared a bit rushed. Ending could have been built up a bit more.
