About this listen

The Expanse meets The Godfather in this space opera/sci-fi noir thriller about corporate greed, rebellion, and mankind’s survival among the stars.

Revolution threatens a longstanding peace....

Thirty years after the Syndicate Corporation saved Earth from climate-change extinction, SynCorp’s Five Factions rule the solar system with an iron fist wrapped in a velvet glove. Food, entertainment, safety, security - SynCorp provides it all. In return, the Company requires complete loyalty and obedience to corporate law.

The Soldiers of the Solar Revolution claim life under SynCorp is slavery cloaked in comfort. They launch their rebellion, targeting the pillars of corporate production: Sabotaging refineries on Mars, shattering Callisto’s orbital ring. Meanwhile, brutal pirates siphon off Company resources in the Belt, and hackers tap into citizens’ implants, addicting them to fantasies shaped from their own dreams.

Besieged on all sides, SynCorp’s Five Factions are in retreat. The rebels aim to destroy the Company to free mankind. But does mankind really want to be freed?

I recieved a review copy of this book. The world depicted is gritty in its realism. The characters are interesting and story gripping. A very good and interesting book with a well chosen narrator.

One note is that there is an editing issue in one of the early chapters, but the issue is minor and doesn't take away from the story.

A gritty noir sci-fi

Good story - it opens with a bang; quite literally, the first thing that happens is an explosion. Plot and counter-plot, good guys and bad guys (and you're never totally sure who is which) and long enough to be a good read whilst not being so long that it's overcooked. I enjoyed it and I have Book 2 in my library to read later.

Opens with a bang!
