About this listen
A Closed and Common Orbit: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!
Lovelace was once merely a ship's artificial intelligence. When she wakes up in an new body, following a total system shutdown and reboot, she has to start over in a synthetic body, in a world where her kind are illegal. She's never felt so alone.
But she's not alone, not really. Pepper, one of the engineers who risked life and limb to reinstall Lovelace, is determined to help her adjust to her new world. Because Pepper knows a thing or two about starting over.
Together, Pepper and Lovey will discover that, huge as the galaxy may be, it's anything but empty.
Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

Best book I have listened to all year
The story was incredible, the narrator was great... The background 'music' was incredibly annoying. Seriously who thought this was a good idea? I almost stopped listening to it because of the annoying background music. I am glad that I listened to it until the end because the story had me in tears at the end.

This book has no right to be this good
I truly believe that this is a feat of speculative science fiction of a caliber that has never been seen before. It's a relatively simple story, yet still manages to find complexity in its storytelling, characterization, and structure, and the narration is pitch perfect.
Everybody involved in the production of this book, especially Becky Chambers and Patricia Rodriguez, should be proud of what they've accomplished. Without a doubt the most impactful piece of media I've consumed all year.
If you, like me, were on the fence about reading these books, I can tell you now, you wont regret picking this one up. Absolutely brilliant!

Thought provoking and beautiful
This is a great book! The reader did a really good job and the background music was helpful to the story. 10/10 would recommend

great story! background music didn't always match
if you liked the last wayfarer, you'll enjoy this one too! I only gave 4 stars because the background music often didn't match the tone of the passage it was paired with (eg. "happy" music when something very tense and serious was happening). I found that distracting and vaguely frustrating

Story ok, but Booktrack distracting
Enjoyed the book but as with "The Long Way" I think the world building is better than the story. I do really like how generally emotionally mature and intelligent most of the characters are in this.
The book track is... amoungst other things not synced well to the story, so in a quiet moment the music will be very "boss fight" which is odd. It also just generally makes the story harder to listen too.
