Publisher's summary

A lost colony planet, a perplexing murder, and a dogged homicide cop in this Audible Original story from best-selling author Larry Correia.

When the biggest colony ship in human history was sent to settle a paradise world, an accident hurtled it deep into uncharted space. A thousand light years from Earth, with no way home and no way to call for help, the colonists’ only hope for survival was the one barely habitable planet in range, a nightmare world they named Croatoan. Landing on the only five mountain peaks tall enough to rise above the lethal acid clouds, the settlers carved a civilization from the rock.  

A hundred years later, Five Points has grown into a city of corruption and violence. With powerful corporations ruling the surface domes and criminal syndicates running the caverns below, murder is just the cost of doing business. 

So when a Special Magistrate is found dissolving in a protein vat, it barely registers - until DCI Lutero Cade, the last honest cop in Five Points, catches the case. What he finds could threaten the colony’s very existence.   

Or, at the very least, Cade himself.

Science Fiction Noir

Very enjoyable tale well performed. Larry Correa takes liberties with an old idea from Larry Niven's "A Gift From Earth'" setting and puts an excellent hard boiled detective story on top of it. There are many loose ends in the story, enough to give you hope for more in this world line. Please, don't stop with this one Mr. Correa.

Fantastic new story

This was a great story set in a universe ripe for expansion. I hope Larry continues to write stories set in Croatoin.

Great story & characters.

Really enjoyed the story & characters. Didn't care for the narrator's voice.

Occasionally had hard time making out what he was saying.

Good story

I liked the story. The actors voice was a little over the top. It sounded like he was really trying to sound like one of those old detective movies from the 40's or 50's. But the story was good.
