About this listen
Returning to the universe of Revenger, award-winning author Alastair Reynolds delivers another thrilling tale set among the stars.
Two sisters ran away from home to join the crew of a spaceship. They took on pirates, faced down monsters and survived massacres...and now they're in charge.
Captaining a fearsome ship of their own, adventures are theirs for the taking - and there's hoards to loot and treasures to find in the darkest reaches of space. But the rules are also more relaxed out on the fringes, as they're about to discover....
©2019 Alastair Reynolds (P)2019 Orion Publishing GroupCritic Reviews
"A swashbuckling thriller - Pirates of the Caribbean meets Firefly - that nevertheless combines the author's trademark hard SF with effective, coming-of-age characterisation." (The Guardian)
"A blindingly clever imagining of our solar system in the far flung future." (The Sun)
"A rollicking adventure yarn with action, abduction, fights, properly scary hazards, very grisly torture and even ghosts of a sort." (Daily Telegraph)

Fun and easy listening.
A large universe and a good story if you need some fun and light listening.

Reynolds is amazing!
So much better than the first one though I understand the character and their POV. Looking forward to finishing it. When audible actually works.

The narrator was OK…. That’s the only positive aspect
Seriously, this series was terrible. It reads like it’s written by a 14 year old girl trying to rebel, but with no idea what she’s rebelling against. It reads like Young Adult or Teen fiction.
The underlying premise is marginally interesting for a bit, but the story goes nowhere. There’s no style or grace to any of it. The whole thing was just one big ugh.
The big reveal at the end is like a firework that doesn’t go off. After 3 books it just fizzles out into nothing. Pages and pages of attempted failing climax, then it just gives up.
If this is his best work, wow. The others must be unparalleled garbage.
Do not buy this book
