About this listen
The war everyone thought was over is just beginning.
Kira Forrest is a survivor. She's risen above the pain of her beginnings to become a war hero only to leave it all behind in the pursuit of a simple life. Now a salvager, she makes a living sifting through the wreckage of dead alien ships from a war that nearly brought humanity to its knees.
After her ship takes damage, she's forced to re-route to a space station where her past and present collide with dangerous consequences.
Kira's existence holds the key to a faltering peace treaty with the Tuann - a technologically advanced alien race who dislikes and distrusts all humans. Winning her freedom should be easy, but a powerful and relentless Tuann warrior stands in her way. Deceiving him seems impossible, especially when he strays dangerously close to secrets she struggles to hide.
Can Kira reconcile the pain of her past with the possibilities of her future? The fate of two races depends on her success.

The world building is really fantastic, with clues laid down that I hope are developed in the later books. The physicality of the world, its creatures, architecture, and more, are carefully wrought and compellingly described. I was there!
Some things are overlooked, e.g. when Kira leaves all her belongings, where does she get clothes and other sundries? How does her friend recharge? surely chargung ports aren't universal across species? Why isn't she given a crash course on her birthright culture? Why doesn't the Overlord demand more investigation into the assassination attempt?
The performance / reading was very good when it cane to the oppositional main character, and her bantering bestie. Not sure why almost all the male characters and a few of the female ones sound like annoyed, heavy smokers. It was often hard to tell who was speaking from the actual voice. For someone like me w brain injuries, that meant I had to scroll back a lot to keep track. Others may not have that difficulty.
An entertaining read / listen all in.
