The Law of Lumina

De: Martin Wilsey

Narrado por: Naomi Rose-Mock

Emma Boone thought her dream job as the new Chief of Security on Lumina Station was going to be easy.

She didn’t expect corruption, incompetence, and murder.

Lumina was a “small-town” space station orbiting above an isolated, quiet, agri-colony planet specializing in exporting wheat, corn, bourbon, and a few other interesting, unusual commodities. When she took the job, she thought a small station with a tiny population of just over 4,000 people would be quiet compared to her last post.

Boone had barely unpacked her duffle before it all went wrong. She had thought way out here, there would be less death, and she would be able to keep her secrets.

She quickly found this far out on the edge of the universe; the only law was the law you brought with you.

Who could she trust? More accurately...

What could she trust?

Great story

Loved reading this adventure! Martin seems to capture me every time I read his books. This story had me wanting to read more each time I sat down to listen

Action Packed

The Law of Lumina was a good sci-fi adventure. I enjoyed the character of Emma Boone, who is the new, knowledgeable and capable, no-nonsense, Chief of Security for Lumina Station. The station had developed lax security habits under the watch of corrupt people in charge. She wants to be fair and helpful to the civilians who make the station their home. Boone had her work cut out for her, as there were layers upon layers of mysteries and double crosses for her to untangle.

There were great side characters. The story was filled out by Piper the engineer, Thai and Leeta the overpowered soldiers, and the crew that helped keep the stations running and safe.

This book had a good plot. It kept the action moving and the mysteries developing. This book is set in a world the author has written in before. I found this story to be a good entry point even though I hadn't read the other works. Maybe it was because Emma Boone was largely new to all of these characters and plots.

The narrator did a fantastic job of giving life to all of the different voices. There were a few mispronounced words that bothered me, but they were pretty rare.

Oh Boy....There's a new Sheriff in Town

A fun and high-spirited time is had on a smaller, distant space station when the new security chief arrives to clean up town. And while she is amusing--she is definitely not amused. Enjoyed both the story and the narration.

Sometimes the audio book is as good as reading it

I have already read the book, and enjoyed it. Having occasion to listen to an audio book, I figured what the hell.
Conclusion.... good call. Having the book read to you as you drive (and done well too), is a wonderful way to get it again.

If you are a fan of Mil-Sci-Fy or just plain old space operas, glom on Martin Wilsey's books. They are entertaining, very readable, and well written. Good characters, with plenty of action and believable scenarios.

Solid Audiobook, Solid Sci Fi, Great story

I rated this audiobook at about 93% out of 100%. The only thing that held me back from giving it 100% across the board was a slow start narration-wise. The first action scene, which was a pretty cool one, came out of the gate a little flat. But I guess I adjusted or it got better quick because I really started to dig it. This is a really good story and it was very easy to listen to. It kept me company on long walks. I read the book before listening, which I've been doing more and more. I find that I pick up on things in a different way when I hear them. In this book it was all the little technology details the author lays out casually but are really cool. The narrator did a great job with my favorite character - the AI! I'm always amazed how one person can do so many different voices. That helps in keeping track of all the characters. Great stuff!!
