Home: Interstellar

(Hope's War)

De: Ray Strong

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Murdered parents and a crippled spaceship. That’s what pirates left for thirteen-year-old Meriel Hope and the orphans from the Light Speed Merchant Princess. But according to the authorities, pirates didn’t exist, which defined Meriel as crazy. They buried the investigation and Meriel’s past with it.

Ten years later, Meriel has struggled to build a life for herself as a Cargo Chief on the Tiger working a circuit between Procyon A and Wolf 359. She’s kicked the mandatory drugs that controlled the nightmares and flashbacks and trained to Marine-3. And with five other marines on board, she’s taking no chances of another Princess.

But her past will not stay buried, and the most powerful interests in the galaxy will kill her for what she might remember. While trying to save the Princess from salvage, she trips alarms that protect those powerful interests …
… and the biggest secret in human history.

Meriel has only days to untangle the mysteries surrounding the Princess or face her own death. What she learns might bring interstellar war to the far-stars colonies.
. . .And she’s in the middle of it.

If you liked Serenity and Blade Runner and want more kick-ass heroines like Bobbie Draper or Ripley, you’ll like Home: Interstellar.

And don’t miss the next action-packed episode in Meriel’s adventures, Pandora’s Razor.

Great plot

I enjoy listening . Gripping story I like happy endings. The science was sound. Believable characters that were easy to pull for.

Suspenseful

The good: Suspwnseful until the end. Good resolution. The bad: Virtual voice still needs work. Inflections not quit right sometimes. I'd like to help. when's the next book coming out on Audible?

The AI narration was abominable.

Had I paid for this book I would have asked for a refund just because the AI narration was so terrible. Luckily, the story was engaging, or I would've quit listening almost immediately. Because it was free, I listened to the whole thing, but I won't bother listening to any more titles that are AI, and if that's going to be the trend, I'll cancel my Audible membership and go back to listening to music in my car instead of books!
