À propos de cet audio
Siv and the others may have escaped Ekaran IV on the Outworld Ranger, but now they’re on the run with two governments, several criminal organizations, and a host of bounty hunters in pursuit.
If they want to protect Oona, the young hyperphasic messiah, they need allies, resources, and information. The girl’s father, Ambassador Vim, could provide those things. The problem: he’s missing.
He was last seen on a planet named Titus II. And all the groups hunting them know it. Going after him means walking into multiple ambushes. The risk may not be worth the reward. Especially once they realize the most feared bounty hunter in the universe, Vega Kaleeb, is after them.
And Kaleeb is even more dangerous than they realize. His ultimate goal is far more sinister than that of the governments and criminal organizations paying him to capture the hyperphasic messiah.

Best Of The Series
I personally think that 'The Empire Strikes Back' is the best film in the 'Star Wars' series (by quite a lot, incidentally).. and the "hunted by Imperial Forces, Sith lords, and Bounty Hunters like 'Greedo' & 'Boba Fett'" plotline is the best part.
David Alistair Hayden quite clearly takes that as inspiration for this episode in the 'Outworld Ranger' series. Siv, Silky, Mitsuki, Karson, Kyralla, and Oona dodge Thousand Worlders, Tech Reapers, The Federation, underworld criminal consortia, and a centuries-old deadly android assassin with ulterior motives named Vega Kaleeb.
The plot is well-conceived and well-executed, the action is pulsepounding and choreographed fairly nicely (albeit often inexplicably colored with inane banter), and the pacing is commendable (there are only a few plodding segments). Hayden also manages to build on the baselines established in Books One and Two to develop characters worthy of support. I found myself genuinely caring what happened to these fugitives.
Unfortunately, reader Peter Kenny lets the story down. His too-quick reading combines with persistent annoying sibilance and straight-up silly voice-acting choices [Mitsuki sounds like an impression of Charlie Chan with a mouthful of food and Kaleeb's SkyBlade Cog 'Faizal' - a combat robot companion - is clearly supposed to be a stereotype of Peter Lorre] to yield a very disappointing listening experience.
Altogether, if you are given the option between getting a paper/eBook version of this series or the Audiobook iteration - take the text one.
Still, if you can get this 7.5/10 star recording as a 'Plus' selection (free with membership).. you should absolutely do so..
Despite 'Shadow Agents' being a rollercoaster-ride SciFi blast, however, it would be a waste of a Credit if they asked for one. Save it for something else.
