About this listen

Mal and the crew take receipt of a sealed crate that they are being paid to transport to Badger, no questions asked. Yet once their cargo is safely stowed aboard, River insists Mal should "space" it out of the airlock, for it contains, she insists, ghosts.

With supplies running low, the crew desperately needs another payday but soon finds itself paralyzed by hallucinations of their deepest hopes and desires, so vivid they cannot be distinguished from reality. River is the only one unaffected. She desperately tries to awaken her crew mates, while the fantasies turn sour and the ship begins to spin out of control.

Best so far

A fast paced and thrilling story, but I would advise that it's not suitable for younger listeners. It includes some quite disturbing situations involving torture and death, which are described in fairly graphic detail. Narration is excellent, as usual for the series.

Great story, but not for younger listeners

Dull

Don’t want to ruin the plot for anyone but the premise of this book doesn’t make for an interesting audiobook.

Would have made a good TV episode, not a good audiobook
