Publisher's summary

How do you stage a mutiny when you're only awake one day in a million? How do you conspire when your tiny handful of potential allies changes with each job shift? How do you engage an enemy that never sleeps, that sees through your eyes and hears through your ears, and relentlessly, honestly, only wants what's best for you?

Trapped aboard the starship Eriophora, Sunday Ahzmundin is about to discover the components of any successful revolution: conspiracy, code - and unavoidable casualties.

What..?

Emily Woo Zeller is one of the best narrator’s I’ve ever heard. She ignites everything she reads into magic.

This story was really good! I think? I mean, I love me a good sci-fi thriller but there was a lot of terms here I’ve never heard before, or at least not familiar with. I really would have loved a little more backstory on what exactly is happening here. I don’t want to give any spoilers but what I would really love to see is a series from this story only make them all prequel’s to this one. Start at the beginning and tell me what spores are (in this authors eyes). There’s so much happening here, I believe there’s an incredible amount of room to let the imagination run with who/what/where/when/how this whole story started!

Super good!!!

I really liked this book, but at times it felt like I was a little too slow mentally to understand it. But other than that, it was AMAZING!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

great story didn't like narrators choice of emotio

The narrator was good but her choice of sounding like everyone was crying the whole time was a bit much and degraded what was a first class sci fi story.

Dystopian sci go

I really wanted to like this book as the concept was very interesting, but it just failed to keep my attention.

Mind boggling

The scale and detail of this story is simply mind boggling. And the author tackled the challenge with a level of familiarity that I simply don’t understand. An enjoyable listen from a point in time and a point in space that are both basically fixed.

Not Watts' best story.

While many of Peter's fans will enjoy this prequel story set in the universe of his best short fiction, I think many will find the tale more than a little derivative. The evil AI trope is better executed elsewhere. There are interesting ideas here, but Watts neglects to sufficiently flesh-out the world of the stories which precede this novella, at least in my opinion.
