Grand Theft Astro

De: Scott Meyer

Narrado por: Elizabeth Evans

From the author of the “Magic 2.0” series comes an outer space caper where it’s the thief who’s having something stolen from her - her life.

It is the distant future, and Baird is a loner, a part time spy, and a notorious alleged thief. “Notorious” for the audacity of her crimes; “alleged” because nobody has ever been able to legally prove she committed any of them.

When the hush-hush agency known as the Toolbox recruits Baird, being a clandestine operative seems like a great way to get paid to do what she already does anyway. That is, until a mission goes wrong, and Baird is infected with a deadly virus. With only seven days to live, Baird has to complete a series of daring missions, each one designed to bring her closer to a cure.

Allegedly.

Baird suspects the Toolbox might not be telling her the whole truth. She's not sure what to believe or who to trust.

And the clock is ticking.

another hit

Scott Meyers keeps cranking out the quality work. Fun, engaging listen well worth your time.

Quirky

Quirky futuristic story. A good listen! No language, moves along, fun and the whole family can listen along!

actualy good

I honestly thought the book was going to be corny, bring space themed and all. But I like the imagery of newtah's station. And I like how consistent the MC's character was. I never thought that the grammar was bad, or found the voice actor misspelling/Enunciating improperly.

this book makes you yearn for so much more

the characters
the storyline
the planetary accuracy
PERFECTION
please make more!!!
this is what the world has needed

Keeps you guessing right to the end

I have enjoyed all of scott meyer’s books, but I think this is the best. The story is original, the characters interesting and the ending unexpected

One third through, hoping there will be more; at

Just a third of the way through, really hoping that there will be more like this from Scott Meyer. Inspiring me to get others by S.M. outside of the Magic 2.0 series!

Pro's -
Well narrated. *** Excellent match of Narrator to Character/novel. On par with Emily Gray to Jasper FForde's Thursday Next novels and Jennifer Van Dyck to McDevitt's Seeker / Alex Benedict series.
Dynamic protagonist, working through some really tough challenges.
Great "sneaky" org and spy handlers from The Toolbox.
Just enough description so you can 'see' the setting, not overdone.
Solid match up of the emotions that Baird goes through by Elizabeth Evans.

UPDATE - got to the end, the book and narrator kept me interested the whole way through. There is a really fun twist that surfaces about 3/4 of the way through as well!

Neutrals -
Just a wee bit over the top in some of the criminal activity, but hey - its speculative fiction, isn't it?

Cons -
None yet.

All CAPS great book!

I started disliking the smart mouth banter right off the bat, thinking it would never progress into a meaty story; l was all caps wrong.

Close, but no cigar

Would have been better with another round of revisions and a little more thought. Decent idea though.

Confusing voices

I love the nararator but they make a ton of the voices sound the same which became a little confusing but overall was an amazing book

interesting sci-fi action

I like this book. it started a bit boring but there were lots of twists along the way some of them were predictable some were completely not. lots of good ideas a bit of humor original characters and verse.
