About this listen

When Van gains rank as a Peacemaker, he becomes a bigger target for the criminals scattered among the stars.

And he wouldn’t have it any other way.

On a distant world under an alien sun, hunters and their companions—the Rovan—bond in a ritual as old as their civilization. But one of the hunters is missing, and Van, along with his growing crew, knows where to look. Climbing up into the rarified air of the super-rich, Van uncovers a new enemy: The Fade.

And they are as cruel as the stars are many. A gang of heartless killers, the Fade will stop at nothing in the name of profit, which is fine with Van, as he’ll stop at nothing in the name of justice.

Tracking his quarry across a dozen systems, Van, Torina, Perry and Icky—along with Zenophir, the new technician—will untangle a conspiracy of betrayal and death. As Van soon discovers, the Fade never lose.

But they’ve never met Van and his crew.

This series has taken what I thought I knew about the genre and made it so much more the better. All of the characters, love them or hate them, are so vivid with depth and individuality. The worlds are familiar and yet feel so vastly alien. The roller-coaster of laughs, adventure, story building and tragedy all add up to a series that you can't stop listening to once you've started. 11 books in so far, can't wait to see where this all finishes up. Jeffrey Kafer is the perfect voice for this series, I owe so much of my love for this to him and his performances

A must listen series for every Sci-Fi fan
