VIGILANTE The Vigilante Chronicles, Book 1

A distant mining planet is certainly a potential setting for abuse. That proves to be the case in this stirring audiobook in which a greedy mine operator ignores the law and continues to use slave labor. That means it's up to Barnabas, a human who was formerly a Ranger One, to liberate those trapped in these trying conditions. A planet such as this, packed with many species of aliens, is a narrator's dream. Narrator Chris Ciulla makes the most of it, capably bringing to life monkey-and snake-like creatures and even Barnabas's partner, a wisecracking female battleship. The outcome of this first book of the Vigilante Chronicles series is never in doubt, but the fun is in getting there. This is space opera that sings.
