About this listen

Humanity is falling. She has little hope of survival.

Charlus Vaughn, a teenage refugee on the run from machine judgement and haunted by her mother's secrets. When a rogue data-pirate crew pulls her from the brink of execution, Charlus finds a place to belong, but something far older and far more dangerous is watching.

Entangled in the schemes of an ancient arachnid intelligence, Charlus begins to uncover powers within herself that unravel what she's been told.

Her past was hidden for a reason.

Humanity is losing its fight for dominance and the machines that hunt Charlus remember exactly who she is.

Residuum is a thrilling space opera of hidden legacies, AI genocide, and imperfect families, perfect for fans of sweeping galactic conflict, found-family crews, and slow-burn suspense.

Once Charlus learns who she is, the galaxy will know about it.

ok, lets get the unpleasent stuff out the way 1st.
I was not aware this had spiders in it and as someone who has arachnophobia it was a bit of a shock BUT the descriptions of said space spiders were minimal and didnt take away from my enjoyment of the audiobook.
now to the good stuff.
the narrator is amazing, she brings warmth to the book that otherwise the story would not have, given the genre.
if you enjoy distopian sci-fi and cope with spiders then this is the book for you

I enjoye this dark take on science fiction, a tale in two parts that leads you one way and then knocks you off-kilter as it branches off into a space pirate adventure with a sinister twist. Love the 'feel' the narrative gives and well narrated to boot. if you're looking for something different from the 'cloned' scifi out there, give this a try.
