Publisher's summary

Rudely yanked from cryo-sleep to find herself among a crew of modded humans in deep space, and on a burning spaceship, no less, Daisy's world just got a whole lot more complicated. And it was only going to get worse.

As if the creepy cyborg and the mechanically-enhanced human crew weren't bad enough, what was supposed to be a simple flight home to Earth was going horribly wrong. A deadly plot was unfolding. One that could jeopardize the entire human race. And Daisy found herself stuck in the middle.

It wasn't her job, saving the world, and she sure as hell didn't want it. But the snarky young woman didn't have a choice. But with Daisy reluctantly coming to the rescue, would humanity even stand a chance?

Stayed up far too late listening to this book!

I will admit, it has been a while since I have read traditional science fiction. My tastes usually run more towards the fantasy genre. When a friend suggested I might enjoy this series, I thought I'd give it a try.

I'm glad I did.

The author gives some details about Daisy and her crew-mates on a spaceship returning to Earth. Not everything is as it appears, though, and Daisy faces a number of dangers in her efforts to unravel the motives of those around her. As events develop, Daisy (and the reader) start to wonder if her fears are justified, or purely imaginary.

There are references to 'vintage' space movies the crew watches, including several well-known quotes. (No, I'm not going to tell you which ones! Finding them is part of the fun of reading this book.)

Even though It's outside of my usual reading, I found myself one night staying up 3 hours later than I should have, because I wanted to know "what happens next??". I'm hooked.

On to the next book!

Tragedy of errors

An interesting introduction to a new world. Unfortunately Daisy made so many dumb decisions based on her unexplained prejudices and lack of information that should have been given to her early on, it was hard to listen to without constantly rolling my eyes. Now that she knows what is really going on, I am interested in listening to the next book, but only thanks to its more positive reviews.

excellent on every level 10 of 10

Please please please let there be more! Plit resolved beautifully. The author is one of the few writers who doesn't need Deux ex Machina to solve problems.

Good, but...

It's a good story that pulls you in. I like the voice actress . Character development is not very good because the story is quite chaotic. Really good action scenes, but repetitive of narrative topics.

Well put together story and worldbuilding but...

I cant bring myself to finish. Stuck it out for most of it but its clear the main character isnt gunna stop the anti robots and robotic parts attitude. These ai are very much people. Daisy's prejudices against the humans with robotic replacements feels very anti disability. Its clear that shes written as being wrong within the story but it doesn't feel right to finish listening.
