About this listen
'A blindingly clever imagining of our solar system in the far flung future' SUN
Returning to the universe of Revenger, award-winning author Alastair Reynolds delivers another thrilling tale set among the stars.
Two sisters ran away from home to join the crew of a spaceship. They took on pirates, faced down monsters and survived massacres . . . and now they're in charge. Captaining a fearsome ship of their own, adventures are theirs for the taking - and there's hoards to loot and treasures to find in the darkest reaches of space. But the rules are also more relaxed out on the fringes, as they're about to discover . . .
'A rollicking adventure yarn with action, abduction, fights, properly scary hazards, very grisly torture and even ghosts of a sort' DAILY TELEGRAPH
'By far the most enjoyable book Reynolds has ever written' SFX©2019 Alastair Reynolds (P)2019 Orion Publishing Group

"A blindingly clever imagining of our solar system in the far flung future." (The Sun)
"A rollicking adventure yarn with action, abduction, fights, properly scary hazards, very grisly torture and even ghosts of a sort." (Daily Telegraph)

The underlying premise is marginally interesting for a bit, but the story goes nowhere. There’s no style or grace to any of it. The whole thing was just one big ugh.
The big reveal at the end is like a firework that doesn’t go off. After 3 books it just fizzles out into nothing. Pages and pages of attempted failing climax, then it just gives up.
If this is his best work, wow. The others must be unparalleled garbage.
Do not buy this book
The narrator was OK…. That’s the only positive aspect
