About this listen
At the center of the galaxy is the Void, a strange, artificial universe created by aliens billions of years ago, shrouded by an event horizon more deadly than any natural black hole. In order to function, it is gradually consuming the mass of the galaxy. Watched over by its ancient enemies, the Raiel, the Void's expansion is barely contained.
Inigo dreams of the sweet life within the Void and shares his visions with billions of avid believers. When he mysteriously disappears, Inigo's followers decide to embark on a pilgrimage into the Void to live the life of their messiah's dreams - a pilgrimage that the Raiel claim will trigger a catastrophic expansion of the Void.
Aaron is a man whose only memory is his own name. He doesn't know who he used to be or what he is. All he does know is that his job is to find the missing messiah and stop the pilgrimage. He's not sure how to do that, but whoever he works for has provided some pretty formidable weaponry that ought to help.
Meanwhile, inside the Void, a youth called Edeard is coming to terms with his unusually strong telepathic powers. A junior constable in Makkathran, he starts to challenge the corruption and decay that have poisoned the city. He is determined that his fellow citizens should know hope again. What Edeard doesn't realize is just how far his message of hope is reaching.

What is the Void?
I think the introduction to each new scene within the chapters would have made this easier to follow. Had to re- listen several times to keep track of once I did I got hooked. On to book 2 now.

A world to dream of
Very rich world with a history that feels real, interesting set of characters and “cultures”... enjoyable narration.

Normalization is important.
The book is great and John Lee is great, but the sound mixing sucks a tremendous load. Lee has a habit of moving between loud and soft rapidly. The mixing doesn't handle it well. The loud parts clip out badly which can hurt the ears on headphones and cause problems on speakers if the volume is up too high.

Too sexist — stopped reading
The storyline and ideas had the makings of a good space opera, but unfortunately the women characters are presented as “floozies” (his word), a collection of unoriginally described body parts, or boring as a drill bit. I stopped reading not out of political correctness, but because the author’s limitation in this respect made the writing ham-fisted and the story uninteresting.
