Publisher's Summary

"I gulped down Ballistic in one long read, staying awake half the night, and now I want the next one!" (George R. R. Martin)

There is a personal price to pay for having aligned with the wrong side in a reckless war. For Aden Jansen it's the need to adopt a new identity while keeping his past hidden. Now he's integrated himself aboard the Zephyr, a merchant ship smuggling critical goods through dangerous space. But danger is imminent on planet Gretia, as well. Under occupation, torn between postwar reformers and loyalists, it's a polestar for civil unrest.

Meanwhile an occupation forces officer is pulled right back into the fray when the battle alarm is raised, an ambitious heiress is entangled in a subversive political conspiracy, and an Allied captain is about to meet the enemy head-on.

As Aden discovers, the insurgents on Gretia - and in space - are connected, organized, and ready to break into full-scale rebellion. History is threatening to repeat itself. It's time that Aden rediscovers who he is, whom he can trust, and what he must fight for now.

why change narrators?

changing narrators definitely was a big negative. Not that Angelo was bad, just that the characters had well established accents from the first book. i found it very hard to understand who was speaking, felt like someone had changed the actors in my favourite tv show in between seasons.

Monotone

No idea why they change narrators in the middle of a series.

Returning after less than 2 hours in.

ripped off

Where is Luke Daniels???
Felt so ripped off within the first few seconds of listening.
Why oh why would you change narrators in the middle of a series? I get that there may be an occasion where this is necessary, like someone dies! But bad idea guys! It's inevitable that listeners will prefer one over the other. I can believe you did that!
I can't really say this narrator was bad, it's just bad that it wasn't Luke. Had to wrap my head around Characters and different pronunciation all over again.
Story didn't feel like we progressed much before it ended, but the first book was the same. I think Marco is dragging it out a bit.
Now how long do I have to wait for the next installment? Or should I give up if there's no Luke Daniels?
