Story4 out of 5 stars 54
Fergus Ferguson, repo-man, has one job: find the spacecraft Venetia's Sword and steal it back from Arum Gilger, ex-nobleman turned power-hungry trade boss. Finding Gilger in the farthest corner of human-inhabited space, a gas-giant harvesting colony called Cernee, was easy. The hard part will be getting past a field of space mines, hacking into the Sword's compromised AI, and fighting a crew of hostile enemies to take control of the ship. But when a cable car explosion launches Cernee into a civil war, Fergus finds himself caught in the crosshairs.

Great Stories, Mixed Narration
Would you listen to another book narrated by the narrators?
Some of them, yes. There were a number of excellent narrators, some mediocre ones, and one really terrible narrator.
Any additional comments?
I found the stories to be really good. Unfortunately, one of the narrators was so robotic that I had to skip that story. There was no expression or emotion in her voice at all.
