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?

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!






Stayed up far too late listening to this book!

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.

This appears to be a good book, however I could not go past chapter 5. This book is more romance/light-erotica/scifi and that's not really my genre. I'm not a prude, but the sexuality didn't progress in a smooth or natural way. For example, the protagonist is walking around and whamo, she's in the sack. Easy-peasy! That did nothing but throw me out of the story and force me to always wear earbuds.

As for SciFi... it was a frame for the story. This is a good thing, as the story should stand on it's own with 'tech' being the props that connect all the fiddly bits. The author did a good job.

As I said, this appears to be a good book, but I had a hard time listening to Vivienne Leheny's narration. Her voice sounds similar to my kindle's auto-read and Vivienne's inflections, humor, and emotions felt monotone and forced. It really sounded like the humor &jokes were being read for the first time.. not acted out... so any humor fell flat. All of these reasons kept throwing me out of the story. All in all, I wasn't laughing like other reviewers said they were.

Know your Genre first.

I bought this book because I had a credit that was expiring. It checked all the boxes I was looking for, space ships, adventure, saving the world conspiracy, and what seemed to be an interesting strong female lead.

I was not disappointed. Daisy's Run is a fun jaunt through space with just enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. Daisy is a tech expert and the solutions she comes up with are convincing and fun to listen to.

The narrator acted each character well and I enjoyed her performance. I will for sure listen to the rest of the series!

I was a bit concerned by the review that said it was light erotica...but I have to disagree with that overall review. There are a few adult scenes depicted, but it is not the main focus. It served a purpose for events that transpired past chapter 5 and was not that bad.

Excellent start to the classic Space Opera!

I’m visually impaired and I love how Scott brings a lot of details to this book. I haven’t read a lot of books with female narrators but Vicente really makes the characters come alive. Loved this book and can’t wait for the next book.

Great book keeps ya guessing

Binged in two days. Fantastic roller coaster ride beginning to end. Can't wait till I wake up from my dream and find myself in the post apocalyptic world. That's my true dream!

Great ride!!

The story is very interesting, however the main character isn't very likeable.
the narrator is really good.

Can this be considered a title?

the book started off really slow. the idea is amazing and I liked it at first. but the writing seems a little lazy quite a bit. little things just seemed wrong by casually being mentioned to have been accidentally taken care if prior without any steps taken to show that.
