About this listen

Sci-Fi Adventure with a sense of humor!

A smuggler, a stowaway slave, and a pirate find themselves on a collision course deep in the no-man's-land of space, tracking a mystery that's centuries old.

Maurice "Moss" Foote is down to his last hundred credits, which he needs to get his old ship back and start over. Again. But then, Moss is so familiar with rock bottom he has his mail forwarded there.

Hel was born a slave, or maybe she wasn't. It's confusing, just like the compulsion that keeps her building... something. When she sees an opportunity to escape aboard a ship, she takes it, not realizing the trouble she's in for.

Roy "Hellno" Herzog is a pirate who prefers to work alone. Now he's got a lead on a prize so big it could set him up for life, if he can stomach working with other people. All he has to do is track down one runaway slave.

"An action-packed space romp with a dry sense of humor that will appeal to fans of The Orville who wish that show was more like Firefly."—Marcus Alexander Hart of the Galaxy Cruise series

Excellent book, great listen!

I've read this once before, NI enjoyed it then, but I've never been a huge fan of sci-fi, I prefer fantasy (Star Wars, btw, is fantasy in space, not sci-fi). The author reads the audiobook himself and he did an excellent job, IMO. I found the tale more engaging as an audiobook than in book format.

This is true sci-fi, hard sci-fi. There isn't really any magic, though there is some unexplained science (the "glamour" of one race, for example, and the FTL drives). But the focus of the tale is humanity dealing with the questions that arise from technological advancement. The world building is fairly solid, he's devised a plausible future universe.
That's important. His characters take actions that make sense and they have believable motivations that their actions are consistent with. One of the reasons I tend to dislike sci-fi, especially classic "hard" sci-fi like Asimov, Heinlein, or Star Trek, is that its writers understand science but not people. The stories are ultimately unbelievable because the people are unbelievable. Noah Chinn avoids that trap very well.

I really enjoy this and I am hoping he does the rest of the series as audiobooks. Considering my general dislike of sci-fi that is impressive!

A Great Introduction!

I enjoyed the universe-building in this book. While I enjoy a great deal of science fiction and space fantasy, one of my problems with it is that quite a bit leaves our solar system out of the loop. I enjoyed the engaging way the author dealt with Earth and its history, along with the introduction of several alien species.

The plot was engaging with the "old, crusty pilot" and the fresh new sidekick with various twists and bends along the way.

I look forward to more.

As this is the author's first foray into narrating their work, I give the voice work a sold A-. Very engaging and easy to listen to though I did listen at 1.2(x) speed. Only one slightly confusing part was that two characters sounded alike so that made for a misunderstanding or two from me but that was easily fixable. I believe the author is definitely suited to do their own voice work and has plenty of room to grow as a narrator. Always a good thing!
