Story4.5 out of 5 stars 40
In the 1800s, a sailing ship crashes off the coast of Norway. In the 1900s, a Zepellin explores an icy canyon in Antarctica. In the far future, a spaceship sets out for an alien artifact. Each excursion goes horribly wrong. And on every journey, Dr. Silas Coade is the physician, but only Silas seems to realize that these events keep repeating themselves. And it's up to him to figure out why and how. And how to stop it all from happening again.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 143
Nine hundred thousand years ago, something annihilated the Amarantin civilization just as it was on the verge of discovering space flight. Now one scientist, Dan Sylveste, will stop at nothing to solve the Amarantin riddle before ancient history repeats itself. With no other resources at his disposal, Sylveste forges a dangerous alliance with the cyborg crew of the starship Nostalgia for Infinity. But as he closes in on the secret, a killer closes in on him because the Amarantin were destroyed for a reason.

Tom Dreyfus is a Prefect, a law enforcement officer with the Panoply. His beat is the multifaceted utopian society of the Glitter Band, that vast swirl of space habitats orbiting the planet Yellowstone, the teeming hub of a human interstellar empire spanning many worlds. His current case: investigating a murderous attack against one of the habitats that left 900 people dead, a crime that appalls even a hardened cop like Dreyfus.

But when his space-explorer grandmother dies, secrets come to light and Geoffrey is dispatched to the Moon to protect the family name - and prevent an impending catastrophe.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4
In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety. But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern. On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid—a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.”

2057. Humanity has raised exploiting the solar system to an art form. Bella Lind and the crew of her nuclear-powered ship, the Rockhopper, push ice. They mine comets. And they're good at it. The Rockhopper is nearing the end of its current mission cycle, and everyone is desperate for some much-needed R & R, when startling news arrives from Saturn: Janus, one of Saturn's ice moons, has inexplicably left its natural orbit and is now heading out of the solar system at high speed.

Greet book. Moderate quality audio.
Excellent book. Audio is of moderate quality - it randomly fades in and out at the beginning and end of sentences. You get used to it over tune.

the narrator is far too hard to hear
the book itself is a great piece of science fiction, the person reading the novel did a terrible job. it's hard to hear them speaking most of the time.
I'd find a different reading and go with that one over this. it's been a source of frustration trying to listen to this book.

Good story and imagery, audio issues
Story is quite fun and a nice take on the space pirates genre. The slang and language devolves a bit at points and can been seen as a bit too much, but the good flow and interesting events keep it on track. Main issue is that the audio mixing is not good in a general sense. Easier to listen with headphones, but the highs and lows in speaking volume makes it nigh impossible to listen to in the car.

Much fun
Great story!
Audio production is screwy intermittently which can make listening hard at a few points (sounds like an over active compressor kicks in). That’s too bad because the narrator is really great.

Arya Stark's space adventure
Firstly, don't let others' complaints about the audio dissuade you. The complaints aren't baseless, but it's manageable enough and I really liked Clare's narration.
The story itself has many familiar hero's journey elements but what sets it apart for me is the world the story inhabits. Many things are left mysterious, but they feel like they'd have full explanations if there was time and if the characters knew them. Reynolds excels at creating lived-in feeling universes. I'd compare this story's universe to that of Terminal World in that we find it past its peak, but for whatever reason this one worked for me where TW did not.
As for the story, think something like Arya Stark and Osha meets Pirates of the Caribbean in space.

Bad mixing
The mixing is quite bad. They've cut the trebles and the end of words are faded to whispers. It makes it hard to focus on the words. It's hard to listen when there's any noise around. Can't really fault the reader, I'm sure with a better mixing she'd be very audible.

cool universe, a bit unbelievable at the end
it started strong and got a little contrived at the end. A neat universe but it'll be a while until I feel like reading the next one

Not Alastair Reynolds best. Audio quality poor.
Audio: as described by other listeners; could really only listen with headphones and not speakers. The narrator has a tendency to swallow the ends of some sentences. That coupled with poor audio balance made me nearly send it back.
Story: I wanted to complete the story enough not to send it back because of the poor audio quality. Narrator made it sound like she was telling a YA tale and she didn’t quite like young people. Reynolds has written some good but not great space opera. This is on the bottom end because of predictable plot twists and trite conveniences. I will really the rest of the series in print, borrowed from the library.

story ok , audio quality is terrible
I could not finish the story because there is a big problem with the quality of the audio recording. the performance is fine , however there is a lot of whispering and very often I can't distinguish what the heck the characters are staying! whoever was balancing the audio doesn't seem to be very good at their job.
I'm wearing expensive soundproof headphones so that's not the issue either.

it's not science fiction, it's space opers
The completely unexplained technology is excused by the setting, but setup in a way to ne very frustrating to anyone used to hard science fiction.
