The only escape is an unstable wormhole, but crossing through has some devastating results for their ship, and the are forced to check out an abandoned supply outpost, on a hostile planet. Upon arriving there, they find out that the place isn’t as abandoned as it seems.
This was a bit of a slow burner, but I still ended up enjoying it. The plot was enjoyable and had steady pacing, which ramped up when the fighting started! There were a few twists that I didn’t see coming but overall, I had an idea of where the story was going. Still it kept my attention till the end was entertaining!!
The characters were all well written and developed and I enjoyed reading about them. They were easily likable and you can’t help but root for them. I also enjoyed the A.I’s and the…. things that are on the planet. It was a unique take on things.
In all, it’s a good entertaining story. The ending wrapped up nicely, yet there are possibilities still there where a sequel may take place. I, for one, would definitely read another book with these characters.
I thoroughly enjoyed Andrew B. Wehrlen’s narration. He had plenty of tones and voices and read the story well. He was a good fit for this and I look forward to listening to more by him.
