Summary

Go big or go home. For privateer Captain Magdalene Landon, it's all about going big. For Kay Ellis, it's about getting home. Together, they're about to architect the most daring heist in the galaxy.

Kay knows too much. She knows it’s a matter of time before a conglomerate hitman finds her. She’s desperate for safe passage back to Union space.

Then Magdalene shows up, promising a way home in exchange for that information. It’s a risky bet, but Kay is out of options. So she strikes a deal: the heist of the century for her freedom.

Kay is playing a dangerous game, and she knows it. She’s made herself enemy number one of the conglomerate. She’s relying on privateers for her safety. It’s a fool’s game. But the worst part is, her fool’s heart is starting to warm to the enigmatic captain. And that’s a risk for which she hadn’t planned.

Entertaining and Fun

I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
An entertaining sci-fi audiobook with an element of fun, the narrator did well with the characters and the book overall. The story was enjoyable and it was nice to see a strong female lead, not much into FF romance but it was OK. I enjoyed the character interaction, the action and the story overall.

Black Flag Safe Passage

Well this was my very first ever audio book, and to be honest I found the narrator a bit hard going, but perhaps it is just me, and I am being a little bit unfair. I live on the west coast of Scotland and liked the story, but I have to be honest and say that I found the narration really difficult to listen too, her very slow Texas drawl was really very hard to take and understand because it was so slow and then the squeaky voice Kate. That's all I am going to say except the story behind the voice was good I did enjoy the story

Fun and exciting

Safe Passage is part space opera, part heist of the century and part romance. Kay is the programmer behind the Conglomerate’s (some sort of space crime syndicate) bank’s security system. She’s really good at her job and the Conglomerate wants her dead as she’s the only person who could break into the bank. In an effort to leave the desolate planet where the Conglomerate has left her stranded in the meantime, Kay meets Captain Magdalene Landon and her privateer crew. They offer to help her get away if she helps them rob the bank. Kay doesn’t trust them at first, she only sees them as pirates, but she has no real choice if she hopes to stay alive a little longer. As days go by, she finds herself making friends and unexpectedly falling in love.

The different voices were great, very easy to distinguish, even though I felt Kay’s was a little too fragile. I loved the laughs. I haven’t heard many laughs in audiobooks, it was nice to not just know the characters were laughing but hear them too.

If you’re not a sci-fan fan yet, this would be a good entry point. It’s not too technical, there are just enough aliens and planet-talk to feel in space but not so much that the reader would get confused. The pace is good, the characters are well-written and the action is exciting.
