Advertised as a space story starring a motley crew, this audiobook is more of a land-bound conspiracy thriller than true science fiction. The story is filled with shrewd characters, deadly intrigue, and enough close calls to keep listeners on the edge of their seats. Narrator James Fouhey portrays Nax Hall with just a touch of snark, playing up the character's jaded attitude perfectly. There is nothing casual about Fouhey's overall performance, and his edgy delivery makes the multiple scenes of conflict that much more intense. Although the story differs from expectations, it's still an action-packed fun listen for fans of YA science fiction. N.H. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2019]
