About this listen

Out in the darkness of space, something is targeting the Greatships.

With their vast cargo holds and a crew that could fill a city, the Greatships are the lifeblood of human-occupied space, transporting an unimaginable volume - and value - of goods from City, the greatest human orbital, all the way to Tradepoint at the other, to trade for xenoglas with an unknowable alien species.

It has always been Marca Nbaro's dream to achieve the near-impossible: escape her upbringing and venture into space.

All it took, to make her way onto the crew of the Greatship Athens, was thousands of hours in simulators, dedication and pawning or selling every scrap of her old life in order to forge a new one. But though she's made her way onboard with faked papers, leaving her old life - and scandals - behind isn't so easy.

She may have just combined all the dangers of her former life, with all the perils of the new....

I NEED the next book!!!
The author has managed to combine the riproaring adventure of 50s and 60s sci-fi with with true-to-life and wide-ranging characters who develop, with mystery, and a scrupulously believable vision.

The author's military experience drips from the page not just in-terms of the vivid personal or naval combat scenes, but in the weaknesses and demons that the characters overcome as they earn their place in a much needed family, but then the newly earned traumas and fears that come to haunt them.

That, an observant mind of our many social needs and idiosyncracies, and an obvious understanding of real-world physics leaves us free to enjoy this fast-paced but nuanced sci-fi adventure in a real-feeling and recognizable but very different world.

As with all the best sci-fi, the story is really about people and the narrator brings them to life perfectly, we need more like her!

This is certainly an author to watch.

A brilliant combination with engaging characters.

So while this novel may start with a hundred clichés, it very quickly starts to overcome some of the tropes of the genre, with some smartly written prose. Which give depth to the characters, giving real texture to the crew, also it and expands on the common fish out of water concept, by building a world that covers the heroines shortcomings and makes you invest in her. A really enjoyable romp, with plenty of thrills and spills, and tense space combat scenes pepper the novel. This is a thoughtful and considered science fiction novel, with a hard science fiction edge.

Enjoyable Science Fiction

Great story! With a fresh take on military sci-fi/space opera. It was nice that it was from female perspective. Some of the plot twists were pretty obvious, but they worked for the story.

I liked it!
