Publisher's summary

2021 NPR Best Book of the Year

"This is the first audiobook narrated by Hynden Walch, who is famous for her voice acting. Her expertise with voicing all different types of characters is a perfect match for this production and keeps listeners engaged." (Booklist)

Buckle up your seatbelt for Victories Greater Than Death, a thrilling YA sci-fi adventure set against an intergalactic war from internationally best-selling author Charlie Jane Anders.

This program includes a bonus interview with the author.

Outsmart Your Enemies. Outrun the Galaxy.

“Just please, remember what I told you. Run. Don’t stop running for anything.”

Tina never worries about being 'ordinary' - she doesn't have to, since she's known practically forever that she's not just Tina Mains, average teenager and beloved daughter. She's also the keeper of an interplanetary rescue beacon, and one day soon, it's going to activate, and then her dreams of saving all the worlds and adventuring among the stars will finally be possible. Tina's legacy, after all, is intergalactic - she is the hidden clone of a famed alien hero, left on Earth disguised as a human to give the universe another chance to defeat a terrible evil.

But when the beacon activates, it turns out that Tina's destiny isn't quite what she expected. Things are far more dangerous than she ever assumed - and everyone in the galaxy is expecting her to actually be the brilliant tactician and legendary savior Captain Thaoh Argentian, but Tina...is just Tina. And the Royal Fleet is losing the war, badly - the starship that found her is on the run and they barely manage to escape Earth with the planet still intact.

Luckily, Tina is surrounded by a crew she can trust, and her best friend Rachel, and she is still determined to save all the worlds. But first she'll have to save herself.

DNF for now

Seems like a perfect, delightful fast paced story. I am having trouble enjoying it because of the narration. Maybe it is simply an issue of shifting tone from voicing characters on television to reading books. But the high pitch and accentuated dramatic emotion are hard to listen to for more than a few minutes

There has never been a more annoying narrator to exist

Holy crap, is this narrator the most intensely annoying for no reason. The way they read this story is so, so, so bad. It’s like if some white person decided they were going to be an anime teenager and then put it on steroids and amped it up to 67. It constantly pulls me out of the story and makes me not want to go back and finish. I know they are famous or whatever but jfc this was the absolute wrong choice.

what a ride!

Hynden Walch completely knocks it out of the park. She brings every character vividly to life. It's an absolute blast.
