About this listen

Awash with conflict and a building war, the known stars align against Van and his wing of the Guild in a fight for ultimate control.

Van and his crew suspect there's more to the Equal Grasp than just a band of thieves, and they begin their campaign at Bopul Station, a lonely outpost where corruption rules and Peacemakers are feared. To continue the fight and the case, the crew and friends need more than just contacts. They need money.

To that end, Van begins exploring an old mystery about his grandfather, which leads to the shocking discovery—the Earth is being stripped of its history, one object at a time, but that's not the main purpose of the criminals.

Their goals are bigger than just stealing art. Much bigger. One of their targets is nothing less than the end of the Fafnir and Van and everything he represents.

Along the way, Icky learns about motherhood, and Funboy learns about grief, and everyone agrees that cheese is good and pants are bad—sort of.

There's a time and place for everything, and Van will lead his crew for as long as he can.

If he can stay alive—and that's a pretty big if.

I don’t believe that no one considered that what happened might have happened even if it was rushed

They should not have fallen for that

For as many books in this series. they still find a way to keep it fresh. funny as always. great plot. some characters find their end in this book and that part felt rushed considering how big of a role they played.

the saga continues

Without offering any spoilers, I don’t understand the crisis at the end of this one. I get what happened, but I don’t at all get why it happened. Fool them once, shame on them; fool them twice, and no, this crew absolutely would not have been fooled again. Just way WAY out of character and without even a remotely reasonable explanation. I’m going to keep going, but for the first time in this long series, I’m **DEEPLY** annoyed.

Weird Ending

Wonderful storytelling yet once again. It is difficult to create science fiction stories that also embody humanity.

Sci-fi with the characters experiencing real emotions!

I’ve listened to this series since the beginning and enjoyed all of the books/stories, until… the last battle. This last battle was too much for me to stomach. Van is ambushed the same way by disguised freighters, twice? Yeah the ramming twist was ok, but to twist into basically the same situation twice? Come on folks, this is a master of the Guild. Plus to compound the situation, Van freeze up as events unfolded around him. This is an experienced ship captain and master of the Guild. For the record this the first negative review I’ve ever posted. What a shame that the books final battle portraits this character as not having learned from his past mistakes. Bummer. Learning his beloved is with child is not enough for me to keep listening. So 20 titles later, I’m out. JN you are one of my favorites listens, that will not change, except for this series. Once again, bummer.
