About this listen

Christopher G. Nuttall’s novel of human fear and survival, set in the thrilling world of his Angel in the Whirlwind series.

A year after the Commonwealth won the war with the Theocracy, the interstellar cruise liner Supreme is on its maiden voyage, carrying a host of aristocrats thrilled to be sharing in a wondrous adventure among the stars. The passengers include the owner and his daughters, Angela and Nancy. Growing up with all the luxuries in the world, neither sister has ever known true struggle, but that all changes when a collision with a pirate ship leaves the cruiser powerless and becalmed in hyperspace. And they’re not alone.

Now, the mysterious force that’s living on this floating graveyard is coming for Supreme’s crew and passengers. As madness starts to tear at their minds, they must fight to survive in a strange alien realm.

And there’s no way out...

It was a great fun to finally encounter the real, alien aliens - not the 20th-century polititians clothed in scaly reptilian skin and waving a number of tentacles (talk about the body being the temple of the soul). And the story that doesn't boil down to a glorified World War or the 'heated' Cold War with its Federation vs Empire simplicity, and its exceedingly complicated excuses for the atrocities committed by the 'good guys' was refreshing, too.
The total physical helplessness of the protagonists, even those who were supposed to be trained in unarmed combat, felt a bit frustrating, though; and I don't know: is it just me, or was there a veiled, fearful, but still a hint at the ultimate evil of the society where selling a girl out can save a corporation from collapse? At the profound wrongness of the very idea of marrying for anything other than each other? There definitely was a clear message about the need to find one's way to contribute to the humanity, tinged with the irony towards certain people's sense of entitlement.
It's not the original Solaris, by Stanislaw Lem; but it's definitely worth reading.

I tried to listen to this book a few times. I gave up as it appeared to be getting nowhere. The character development that most books start with just seemed to go on forever and got rather repetitive. I finally got past this, and the second half of the book is quite a reasonable sci-fi yarn.

Very slow to start
