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.

Engaging characters and excellent voice narration.

I recently settled into an airline seat for a business trip to Europe and decided this would be a perfect opportunity to listen to something that was (hopefully) more interesting than the airline movie selections. Martin Wilsey delivered in spades! The characters were engaging and interesting, with a story that kept my interest at every turn. The excellent narration helped to keep the characters distinct in my mind. My only criticism of the narration was "stasis" was pronounced "staa-sis", but this might be a Queens English vs. American English conflict. ;)

My flight seemed so short as Iistened to this captivating story and as a result, I am starting the next book Amazon recommended from Martin WIlsey.

Excellent story and all the twists!!!!

I started out interested, sci fi, kept listening thinking yep I know what will happen next...then WHAT!!! Fascinating and unexpected and so worthy to the very end. Will look for more from this author, hopefully a continuation of this storyline;)
