About this listen

The galaxy has seen great empires rise and fall. Planets have shattered and been remade. Amongst the ruins of alien civilisations, building our own from the rubble, humanity still thrives. And there are vast fortunes to be made, if you know where to find them....

Captain Rackamore and his crew do. It's their business to find the tiny, enigmatic worlds which have been hidden away, booby-trapped, surrounded with layers of protection - and to crack them open for the ancient relics and barely remembered technologies inside. But while they ply their risky trade with integrity, not everyone is so scrupulous.

Adrana and Fura Ness are the newest members of Rackamore's crew, signed on to save their family from bankruptcy. Only Rackamore has enemies, and there might be more waiting for them in space than adventure and fortune - the fabled and feared Bosa Sennen in particular.

Revenger is a science fiction adventure story set in the rubble of our solar system in the dark, distant future - a tale of space pirates, buried treasure and phantom weapons, of unspeakable hazards and single-minded heroism...and of vengeance....

Really enjoyable story and performance. the only problem I had was the voice volume was way too low, even with it turned up.

Excellent

the narrator masterfully portrayed the characters. The story was at Reynolds standard of execlence, if not raising the bar further. I'm not sure if it was the audio or the code used but some of the sentences seemed to lose volume right at the last syllable. however, this did not distract from the story.

narration... how it changes books

Quite a different feel than AR's other work, but set in a characteristically creative universe. Told from the point of view of a teenage girl within a harsh environment, doing adult's work onboard a treasure hunting light-sail spaceship. Thoroughly enjoyed the fresh perspective and the mix of fantasy and hard sci-fi elements.
Clare does an excellent job of narration, very immersive!

I felt this novel had some interesting sub themes however the plot became somewhat trite the more I listened...

Interest Waning...

I came to this with some trepidation, as a Reynolds fan but not one for YA novels (as this has been referred). very pleasantly surprised though. A typical space romp, with the fun of treasure hunting and piracy, but with enough darkness to avoid it being Harry Potter in Space. Well written and read.
