About this listen

From the author of the best-selling Jane Yellowrock and Soulwood series comes a tough new heroine who is far more than she seems.

After the Final War, after the appearance of the Bug aliens and their enforced peace, Shining Smith is still alive, still doing business from the old scrapyard bequeathed to her by her father. But Shining is now something more than human. And the scrapyard is no longer just a scrapyard, but a place full of secrets that she has guarded for years.

This life she has built, while empty, is predictable and safe. Until the only friend left from her previous life shows up, dead, in the back of a scrapped Tesla warplane. Clutched in her cold fingers is a note to Shining - warning her of a coming attack.

With dread, Shining realizes: Someone knows who she is. Someone knows what she is guarding. Will she be able to protect the scrapyard? Will she even survive? Or will Shining have to destroy everything she loves to keep her secrets out of the wrong hands?

Action, action! action as the back story is slow,ly teased out. character development an be convenient, jarring abrupt! subtly nuanced and contradictory. Let's see what comes. Shining Smith I suspect will. be around for some time

fast paced action

I mostly feel as if I read a short story of an existing series in an anthology. Yes you can read it on it's own, but you miss all the connections.

Short, but hopefully more will come along

Really enjoyable and looking forward to more. Narrator is spot on. Spacey, techy and a few fights , love it.

Good

Really like this novella. It opens up into a dystopian landscape where everything is potentially dangerous and deadly.

And we have a main character with a lot of secrets, a junkyard full of cats and a stranger showing up.

Didn't know that nanobots were a thing in Science Fiction, it's obvious, when I think about it, but now, I am a fan.

Loved Khristne Hvams rendition of the text.

What a ride

My only complaint is that is too short, but again, I knew this when I purchased the audiobook. Fantastic job both - Faith Hunter and Kristine Hvam. Looking forward toward new book in a hopefully long series!

New genre, same old mesmerizing storytelling
