Story
Ele'ana and her squad of cybernetic soldiers are escorting a long haul space freighter to the outer rim planets. She can't tell the captain what they're carrying, or why saboteurs are trying to stop them. The assignment is challenging enough without a saboteur aboard ship. The medic is half-blind. Her explosives expert is a sociopath. The interrogator suffers from dementia. Her own sanity is stretched to its limit as her desire for the cantankerous captain wrestles with reality.

Sci-fi noir at it's finest
This is a great novel, it takes into consideration the time and place it is happening. at the beginning of the book I was expecting a gritty noir style novel, and for the most part it is but has been, but still able to build off of the noir feel in ways I was not expecting. The character building and world building in this is amazing, while having few main character and a hand full of side characters the story builds organically on their motivations and characters, while still leaving enough out that makes you want to read more.

A slow start, but a great ride
It took me two starts to complete Emerald tears, but I am glad I stayed on board to finish the book. Theo Holland is a good narrator, but he reads a little bit robotic like, each word so distinct from the next, that it can be difficult to believe the characters are talking to each other. This is remedied a bit by his ability to put on voices, and you will not confuse various characters for each other, Theo does such a good job of changing their voices. It's a little hard to describe Emerald Tears without giving away the surprises. I'd call it a sci fi noir, but that's not entirely accurate. If you want a story of a good guy who does shady business in a gangster town, and has some high tech science fiction allies, then Emerald Tears is the one you're waiting on. One thing I REALLY appreciate it is never felt like we were idling in the story. There's no chapters where people are talking to each other to fill the pages. Each interaction is meaningful, and there's never a spot (aside from the first two chapters where we are building up for everything to follow) where I felt things were dragging.

Sci-fi love story like no other!!!
I found this story unique and very entertaining. I loved the unusual sci-fi concepts like other worlds that are reachable through cracks or openings if you know where they are and how you can go to the past or future if you understand the rules of space and time. The characters were wildly unique and rough around the edges which Holland did a great job bringing to life with his creative character voices and the sound effects in a few places. Bender did a great job including science fiction, sass, creativity, love, action, etc.....all in one story. The compilation between her and Holland brought the story to a whole new level and they take you on a wild ride you won't soon forget. They really complimented each other and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was so easy and fun to listen to.

'Have you had a dream you were so sure was real?'
This is not a 'Come with me if you want to live' story. The main character is not some oblivious and helpless person waiting for rescue. The man known as 'Emerald' is no stranger to violence nor making sure he comes out on top. Until the mystery woman appears and his whole world shifts.
This book is Terminator meets the Matrix meets Universal Soldier as settings that are familiar are overrun by weirdness from somewhere else. The narrator does well with the tough job of switching between the sizeable group of main-secondary characters, especially during the many action scenes. Even some of the more normal scenes have their own brand of fast paced action.
The story revolves around the consequences of what can happen when things are discarded or mishandled because they are not understood by the people that find them. The platform of the book itself, the sa'vine is a far reaching enough idea that it can easily spread well beyond the bounds of this story into others without stretching or over-reaching anything. I'm hoping I can acquire book 2 to see how the story continues.
