À propos de cet audio
Nominated for the Philip K. Dick Award
An investigator must solve a brutal murder on a claustrophobic space station in this tense science fiction thriller from the author of Salvation Day.
Hester Marley used to have a plan for her life. But when a catastrophic attack left her injured, indebted, and stranded far from home, she was forced to take a dead-end security job with a powerful mining company in the asteroid belt. Now she spends her days investigating petty crimes to help her employer maximize its profits. She's surprised to hear from an old friend and fellow victim of the terrorist attack that ruined her life—and that surprise quickly turns to suspicion when he claims to have discovered something shocking about their shared history and the tragedy that neither of them can leave behind.
Before Hester can learn more, her friend is violently murdered at a remote asteroid mine. Hester joins the investigation to find the truth, both about her friend's death and the information he believed he had uncovered. But catching a killer is only the beginning of Hester's worries, and she soon realizes that everything she learns about her friend, his fellow miners, and the outpost they call home brings her closer to revealing secrets that very powerful and very dangerous people would rather keep hidden in the depths of space.

“With propulsive action and twists that keep the reader guessing…this tense sprint through a future dominated by profit-driven amorality makes for a gripping, cinematic sci-fi thriller that readers won’t want to put down.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

A page-turner!
There are so many layers to this book, I'm not sure where to start. This is your typical mystery/thriller with evil corporations, forced indenture to pay medical bills incurred during rescue, AI-monitored mining stations, heinous plots, and world-weary characters trying to do the right thing.
So yeah, nothing all that typical about it, and I LOVED it. I thought I'd guessed the solution to the mystery early on — sort of, but only partially — but I kept reading on because the red herrings laid down were just believable enough that I wanted to prove myself right. And then the book started getting twisty! From that point, I just couldn't put it down until the very last page.
The evil corporations and forced indenture reminded me a lot of a (peripherally-seen) facet of my favourite series, Murderbot. But this book was set inside our solar system, advancing our technology a bit but still working inside the bounds of the rules of our solar system as we know them. I really enjoyed the look not only at the greediness of corporate ambition, but at the more hopeful aspects of humanity peeking through like a system-wide armistice and scientific missions to explore Saturn's moons. The history of this universe seems so rich and tangible, it has me hoping for more books even though this one ended on a satisfying standalone note.
And can I squee about the disability rep? The main character is a queer amputee with a prosthetic leg, arm, and eye. As someone who lives with chronic pain (though I'm not an amputee), I found myself nodding whenever Hester described how the pain in her hip (where the prosthetic joined) started off as an ache and grew as the day wore on. I also liked how her prosthetics didn't give her any extra abilities. She couldn't see any better in the dark or have additional strength or speed because of them. She was just a person who wears prosthetics solving the murder of a former colleague. It was normal for her to exist and thrive. We honestly need so much more of this in books.
Great book, all around.

Slow and boring.
I tried to get jnto this book, I really did. I listened for 5.5 hours, however I just couldn't enjoy it. The story moves extremely slow and the characters were difficult to be even slightly interested in. I also found the Narrator's performance to be decent with some characters but a struggle with others.
After close to 6 hours invested I would normaly finish just to hear the story unfold and know how it ends, but not in this case. Overall this book isn't for me.
