Publisher's Summary
A vast conflict, one that has encompassed hundreds of worlds and solar systems, appears to be finally at an end. A conscripted soldier is beginning to consider her life after the war and the family she has left behind. But for Scur - and for humanity - peace is not to be.
On the brink of the ceasefire, Scur is captured by a renegade war criminal and left for dead in the ruins of a bunker. She revives aboard a prisoner transport vessel. Something has gone terribly wrong with the ship.
Passengers - combatants from both sides of the war - are waking up from hibernation far too soon. Their memories, embedded in bullets, are the only links to a world that is no longer recognizable. And Scur will be reacquainted with her old enemy but with much higher stakes than just her own life.

Great story poor narration
Unfortunately the title says it all. This narrator is exceptionally monotonous using the same inflection on almost every single word, her narration is comparable to that of an 8 year old child who sounds like every word is constantly ending in an upwards rising inflection sounding like a question.
After a while the monotony got to me so bad I nearly had to stop but the story was so compelling that it won me in the end. I actually own the book but found that narration has the advantage of being able to make each character come alive and sound unique. Unfortunately in this instance this is not the case and I hope someone out there will redo this story with a new narration, I would definitely buy that audible book then.

An intriguing novella.
A novella with some intriguing sci-fi ideas. The plot seems compressed and truncated. I wanted more drama, tension, and action. The narrator had a distracting cadence, like a reporter reading the news. I was hoping for something more gripping.

Interesting story but…
The story itself was pretty interesting but the narrator/voice actor was mostly monotone which made the first third of the story hard to get through. It was worth it in the end.

Good story, horribly performed
Narration is monotonous, with every sentence, no matter how mundane, overloaded with false drama and interrupt intensity. Honestly, hard to finish this one, short though it is. Good story, even if not Reynolds' best.
