Publisher's Summary
About the audiobook:
The Worldship Humility is the start of The Code trilogy, written exclusively for audio by sci-fi author R. R. Haywood. Narrator Colin Morgan brings the colourful characters and treacherous escapades of The Worldship Humility to life, a gripping space adventure which will appeal to fans of Ready Player One, Bladerunner and Haywood’s previous best-selling works, Extracted and The Undead.
Summary:
It’s been 120 years since the 50 or so worldships containing the few million survivors set off after planet Earth was destroyed by a meteor.
On the Worldship Humility, Sam, an Airlock Operative, is bored. Living in space should be full of adventure, except it isn’t, and he fills his time hacking 3-D movie posters.
Petty thief Yasmine Dufont is also from the WS Humility, but she is not bored. Growing up in the Elfors, the lawless lower levels of the ship, has seen her surrounded by violence and squalor since birth, and now she wants out. She wants to escape to the luxury of the Ab-Spa on top of WS Abstinence, where they eat real food instead of rats and synth cubes.
Meanwhile, the sleek-hulled, unmanned Gagarin has come back from punching out ahead of the fleet in the ever-continuing search for a new home. Nearly all hope is lost that a new planet will ever be found, until the Gagarin returns with a code of information that suggests a habitable planet has been found. This news should be shared with the whole fleet, but a few rogue captains want to keep the information to themselves and colonise the new planet.
When Yasmine inadvertently steals the code, she and Sam become caught up in a dangerous game of murder, corruption, political wrangling and...porridge, with sex-addicted Detective Zhang Woo hot on their heels, his own life at risk if he fails to get the code back.

Loved it!
This was a complete romp from start to finish. Some real spit-your-coffee-out funny scenes mixed with characters with whom you can empathise. I loved the tech stuff, too. Well written by RR Haywood (as always) and beautifully performed by Colin Morgan.
Looking forward to finding out what happens to our heroes in the next instalment.

Magic blend of story teller and story telling
I purchased this as a fan of Colin Morgan. He transformed this book into an experience I truly lived. A genius story for sure, but I doubt I would have read it hard cover. The magic is in the blend of story teller and story telling for me. Thank you Mr Haywood. Thank you Mr Morgan.

The best, can’t wait for the next!
Engaging characters who have depth and character .. a setting that could be very believable and a perennial story line. A great job and a delight to read. Thanks!

Great dit!
Good book, liked the characters. The English narrator was a bit different at first as I'm used to John Lee and RC Bray but he was alright. Didn't like how some of the characters were narrated but on the whole it was good and didn't diminish the story. Can't wait for a second book.

Hooked all the way through.
Interesting book with interesting character. The performance was a little weird but I think it added to the slight quirkiness of the characters.
