About this listen

From the New York Times and internationally best-selling authors of The Illuminae Files comes a new science fiction epic....

It's 2380, and the graduating students of Aurora Academy are being assigned their first missions. Tyler Jones has been a star pupil who hopes to recruit the squad of his dreams but ends up with a mixed and volatile crew.

And Ty's squad isn't even his biggest problem - that'd be Aurora Jie-Lin O'Malley, the girl he's just rescued from interdimensional space. Trapped in cryo-sleep for two centuries, Auri is a girl out of time and out of her depth. But she could be the catalyst that starts a war millions of years in the making, and Tyler's squad of losers, discipline cases and misfits might just be the last hope for the entire galaxy.

Vividly told in the seven voices of the team members, this is fast-paced, action-packed, wickedly humorous and fabulously entertaining.

Ok this is it, I have to stop my audible membership, I am not listening to any audible books. Better spend my three credits now and fast and just cancel. I choose out three books, this one completely randomly, barely reading the blurb, I dont even try a sample. Hopefully I'll like it... Maybe I'll like it...

I start listening.. It's not bad..

In less than a day I've renewed my membership. I haven't even finished the book, the series isn't even complete but I know with utter certainty that I must listen to the next, straight away, because I am loving every second of it.

I loved every second

I wasn’t sure if I’d enjoy this, but the book and acting of the cast really drew me in. Looking forward to jumping into book two.

Surprising Hit

This story was brilliant, the best book about a young group of misfits since Six of Crows and a total breath of fresh air that it was set in space. The whole storyline, straight from the beginning with Tyler saving Aurora from a cyropod in deep space known here as 'The Fold' was just so well done. It keeps you gripped to the very end. My favourite characters were probably Cat, Scarlett, Tyler and Finian. I think the weakest characters are probably Aurora and Kal, but this is because they are the typical characters needed in a story like this, the chosen one and the broody love interest. I just thought everyone else had much better developed personalities, or maybe I just liked them more. At the end of this book we lose a major character and I felt genuinely sad for it, I'm still hoping that maybe they could come somehow return in another book? I hate mating story lines so I really didn't connect with Kal and Aurora but that's probably the only negative I can say. In terms of the performances by the voice actors, I thought they all did an amazing job at voicing their own characters. However, I did almost choke from laughter when the American actors had to imitate Kat and Kals Australiab and English accents. These are Paid actors and for some reason think a victorian cockney accent can pass for modern aussie? I honestly cannot believe it got past editing without someone saying, hang on this is a bit shit. What annoyed me was that occasionally in long dialogue moments, all the voices would come into a chapter and voice their characters, which worked amazingly. But this only happened I think once or twice and then it would go back to the actor voicing the character whose chapter it was, imitating the other characters. I would have preferred it much more if the actors did ALL the dialogue for their characters. So this is the reason I rated the performance 3/5. This being said, of you can get over the terrible accent imitations this is a brilliant audio book. I will definitely be downloading the sequel.
