About this listen

Ayleen Torr travels the galaxy on a quest for revenge, but before she can get the blood she's owed, she needs the means to survive. To earn enough coin, she chases down a bounty on Antares III. Just as she's about to catch her target, she finds herself turned into the one on the run. If she doesn't find a way off-world in a hurry, getting paid will be the least of her problems.

Enjoyable romp to return to the world(s)

It's short, it's sweet, it's...a mite predictable. But honestly, if it had a twist ending, I would have been disappointed in the character previously established.

Blume does a great job re-hashing details of his world in a way that means this could be a stand alone novel, but doesn't feel onerous for those who did read West of Apocalypse. It's just a quick tale in Ayleen's quest for revenge that we didn't see in the book because it was easily summarized as "got some money off world." But there is character and adventure in that sentence, and Blume made sure to pack it into the hour and change.

As with the original, McCulloch does a great job nailing Ayleen's attitude that focuses on revenge while still acknowledging there is a living and breathing universe around her. She also does a good job giving that same attention to detail to each other character, granting a unique voice to everyone who graces the screen (earbud?) for even a minute's worth of listening time.
