About this listen

Firefly meets The Fast and the Furious in this science fiction adventure series that follows a crew of outcasts as they try to find a legendary ship that just might be the key to saving the universe.

A washed-up treasure hunter, a hotshot racer, and a deadly secret society.

They're all on a race against time to hunt down the greatest warship ever built. Some think the ship is lost forever, some think it's been destroyed, and some think it's only a legend, but one thing's for certain: whoever finds it will hold the fate of the universe in their hands. And treasure that valuable can never stay hidden for long....

Listen to the audiobook that V. E. Schwab called "A clever fusion of magic and sci-fi. I was hooked from page one."

Interesting story, but struggles due to delivery.

It’s a moderately interesting story, but I found it difficult to engage with until the last 1/3 of the book. The use of magic in a sci-fi setting is a nice touch, but it feels at times like it’s used too often as a heavy-handed deus ex machina to either add unnecessary content, or to get the character out of a situation that the author didn’t really think through very well. The use and rules of magic seem almost random.

I feel I would have enjoyed the book more if not for the narration. I Dialogue between characters happens woodenly, and reminded me of listening to a high-school play. It just wasn’t delivered in a way that seemed natural and believable, as though people were actually speaking. The rest of the book was read in an almost overly dramatic manner that just felt awkward; either due to where the narrator put her emphasis, or by the pacing.
