Narrated by Mikael Naramore
Run time: 8 hrs and 47 mins
Summary:
Gant Maker and his small company of misfits set out to find the dreaded Vacra.
Additional Comments:
- I enjoyed the story, but it’s more about the characters than the plot. My favorite parts were near the beginning when it turned more into a heist book than a quest to hunt down the bad guys.
- Not sure how they get fuel in this universe. They seem to be doing an awful lot of traveling.
- The romance angle seemed tacked on for the sake of having one.
- The series is compelling because it’s got a likable character in Maker. Sort of the military man who’s misunderstood but still loyal. He’s a bit like Reacher in attitude and action.
- The world-building’s cool too. Erlen especially is a fun addition to the crew. Revered, misunderstood alien who’s part chemical factory and part puppy dog at heart.
- Performance was fine. Naramore’s not my favorite narrator, but he’s got talent and puts a lot into his performances.
Conclusion:
If you’re looking for excellent scifi, check out the Fringe World series. You can read this without having consumed the first, but as with most series, it will be better in order.
