A well-placed kick into Kanti’s stomach dropped him back to the deck, grasping his gut and gasping for breath.
“If you ever utter the phrase ‘skeleton crew’ again, I promise that I will find out,” Captain Ateri said calmly.
“And when I do, I will rip chunks of you out with my bare paws...and toss them into the recycler one by one...until all that remains of you...is your blood in my fur...and your screams in my ears.”
But the captain is the least of Kanti’s concerns. A huge monster named Commissioner Sarsuk thinks the crew of the White Flower II is out of control, and that executing Kanti publicly - a slow, messy execution - is the perfect recipe for getting the ship back under his clawed thumb. Now Kanti is living in terror - a slave raised believing himself free, a criminal even before his birth. Everyone thinks he’s someone he isn’t: a playboy reduced to working at the dump, a spiteful son trying to make amends, and perhaps even an excuse to recycle every last officer, crewman, and cub on board. The next few days are going to take this unlikely hero and the rest of the crew on a wild ride to the brink of mutiny, isolated deep in space, some 1500 light years from home.

This book was originally a standalone title but then Gre7g did the foolish thing of making not just one but many more sequels, meaning there is just SO MUCH geroo to invest your time in.
This is super good guys

The plot is coherent, the writing will edited, and the characters unique. But what really makes this book shine is the balance between the societal and the scientific. The reader follows a well paced tour through life aboard a generation ship with all the harsh rules of life in space. The technologies demonstrated are described well enough to be understood without such thorough descriptions as to be easily dismissed as mere fiction.
Top it all off with an excellent narrator and what you get is a brilliant performance that sparks the imagination and sends you rushing for the next book in the cycle.

As for the narrator; while I'm not confident in my own judgement on the performance of other people, I will say that all the character's voices were easy to distinguish from one other. I particularly like the voices that the narrator did for Captain Ateri and Commissioner Sarsuk.
I would indeed recommend this for anyone who enjoy the science fiction genre.

Kanti seems to spend the entire book digging his own grave, making decisions that the reader can clearly see well lead to trouble later. And yet, in the same circumstances, I don't see what I would have done different.
The story is engaging, the characters are endearing, and the story is, all in all, a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to the next one!
Kanti get better than this

Mr. Luterman has done a real nice job of building this world, and the "humanity" of his non-human characters is remarkable. The characters are well developed, and the pieces all fit together well.
Mr. Ryman's reading of the book is also top-notch. Characters are well-discerned by voice, with the right amount of emotion put into every bit of dialog. The pacing is right, and the diction is perfect (though a bit more British than I'm accustomed to).
I strongly recommend this, as well as the two in the Kanti cycle that follow it.
Wonderful world-building and excellent performance

Piers Ryman once again has a commanding performance bringing all the characters to life. often when I read stories myself I will mix characters up but the audiobook really makes it easy and that is in no small part due to Mr. Ryman.
I will be picking up the next book soon!
A great universe
