THE FOLDED SKY White Space, Book 3

Narrator Sarah Slimani's stellar characterizations enliven the third installment of the White Space series. Dr. Sunya Song embarks on a deep-space mission to study data from the Baomind, an ancient artificially intelligent construct. It's the opportunity of a lifetime, complete with a scheming ex-girlfriend who is a competing researcher, a surprise visit from her alien wife and their teenagers, and A.I.-adverse pirates who are bent on destroying them all. Slimani's vibrant narration complements this character-driven sci-fi mystery. As Dr. Song wrangles research time, she's simultaneously tasked with investigating an attempted murder, defending the space station, and spending quality time with family--all while a mysterious presence lurks in the periphery. A perfect pairing of performance and writing makes listening a treat. J.R.T. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2025]
