In the distant future, corporations have become sustainable communities with their own militaries, and corporate goals have essentially replaced political ideology. On a youthful, rebellious impulse, Lawrence joined the military of a corporation that he now recognizes to be ruthless and exploitative. His only hope for escape is to earn enough money to buy his place in a better corporation. When his platoon is sent to a distant colony to quell a local resistance effort, it seems like a stroke of amazing fortune, and Lawrence plans to rob the colony of their fabled gemstone, the Fallen Dragon, to get the money he needs. However, he soon discovers that the Fallen Dragon is not a gemstone at all but an alien life form that the local colonists have been protecting since it crashed in their area. Now Lawrence has to decide if he will steal the alien to exploit the use of its inherent biotechnical processes - which far exceed anything humans are capable of - or if he will help the Resistance get the alien home.

it is a good SciFi story. Strongly recommend it.
You won't regret giving it a listen I don't think.

Read it several times and listened a couple more

great book! peters mastery of the grand scope spanning millions of years and the smaller character stories are just a wonder. The stories are never what you think they are.

hints of old man's war

I want to preface by saying PFH is one of my favourite authors. With most PFH books, in my opinion his greatest strength is also his greatest flaw. He knows how to build a world and go into great detail, but at times I found a few subplots he is included to be pointless and forgettable. Maybe his work is just not meant to be read as an audiobook, but John Lee is my favourite narrator so I’m conflicted.

This was a cool story and a lot of interesting ideas, but it was a little anticlimactic. I felt like it jumped around quite a bit and I only knew what was going on half of the time. Likeable antagonist though.

Interesting, but a little confusing at times.

A character focused story that meanders for most of its length but hamiltons writing Carrie’s it. Overall a bit slow but a good listen.

Pretty good a bit drawn out
