About this listen
Emma Boone thought her dream job as the new Chief of Security on Lumina Station was going to be easy.
She didn’t expect corruption, incompetence, and murder.
Lumina was a “small-town” space station orbiting above an isolated, quiet, agri-colony planet specializing in exporting wheat, corn, bourbon, and a few other interesting, unusual commodities. When she took the job, she thought a small station with a tiny population of just over 4,000 people would be quiet compared to her last post.
Boone had barely unpacked her duffle before it all went wrong. She had thought way out here, there would be less death, and she would be able to keep her secrets.
She quickly found this far out on the edge of the universe; the only law was the law you brought with you.
Who could she trust? More accurately...
What could she trust?

Story
Cobb wanted a simple life. He wanted excellent steaks, great coffee, friends, and a quiet place to restore his favorite ship. Working for a recovery operation turned out to be the best place to find parts cheap. She had other plans for him. He wanted the staff of the deep space salvage ship, Oxcart, to treat him just like another member of the crew. Not the man he really was. Light years from Earth, he thought his secrets, his past, wouldn't matter. Especially not to her.

Evil comes in many forms. For former soldier Gabriel Willis, it looks like a motorcade of SUVs storming his quiet neighborhood, shattering his hard-earned domestic bliss. His loving wife and children watch in horror as he is arrested and whisked away without explanation. Accused of terrorism and brutally tortured for information, Gabriel later learns that his family has been kidnapped and hidden away. The madman responsible hands him the arduous task of trekking to the mountains of Afghanistan to find famed archaeologist Othia Morgan and return with her - or his family will die.

Story
In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety. But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern. On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid—a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.”

That means doing things by the book. Find salvage, turn it in, get paid. But everything changes when a retrieval mission lands him in a previously unknown sector.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

But after narrowly surviving two assassination attempts when he brings evidence of the misdeeds to the capital star system, Geary realizes that some want to get rid of him.

There were great side characters. The story was filled out by Piper the engineer, Thai and Leeta the overpowered soldiers, and the crew that helped keep the stations running and safe.
This book had a good plot. It kept the action moving and the mysteries developing. This book is set in a world the author has written in before. I found this story to be a good entry point even though I hadn't read the other works. Maybe it was because Emma Boone was largely new to all of these characters and plots.
The narrator did a fantastic job of giving life to all of the different voices. There were a few mispronounced words that bothered me, but they were pretty rare.
Action Packed

Conclusion.... good call. Having the book read to you as you drive (and done well too), is a wonderful way to get it again.
If you are a fan of Mil-Sci-Fy or just plain old space operas, glom on Martin Wilsey's books. They are entertaining, very readable, and well written. Good characters, with plenty of action and believable scenarios.
Sometimes the audio book is as good as reading it

Excellent story and all the twists!!!!
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The Law of Lumina in set in Mr. Wilsey's universe and is the continuation of a story started in his first book. The "Martiverse"? It is a universe I enjoy and look forward to exploring further. The pacing is fast and story is interesting. I could have done with a bit more character building or more distinction between the secondary and tertiary characters but that is a trade off with pacing so is also understandable. Lumina Station definitely gave me a bit of an Outland vibe, the Sean Connery 1981 movie, which is a definite win.
The narrator did a great job of intonation and emphasis which was my biggest concern in trying an audio book. Turns out it is the format, not the talent.
My first audible and I don't like the format.
