Palindrome 656

The Palindrome Series, Volume 1

De: C.F. Waller

Narrado por: Charlotte Kyle

When a ghost ship turns up in orbit after a half decade of silence, the powers that be are going to want answers. And when you are the only person still breathing, you can expect an interrogation. Hannah, the Empire's leading lady of counter-intelligence, is about to go head to head with the Union's best interrogators in a life or death battle to find the answers to some seemingly simple questions. As she decides what to answer and what to leave out, none of the stories she is about to share will paint her in a positive light, but in her case, they rarely do. It's said that the "winners" write the history books, and while the Union continues to demand answers, it seems that Hannah, whose greatest victory is managing to stay alive, is the only one holding a pen.

SciFi

I liked listening to the narrator in this audiobook, I thought she did a great job in voicing and giving the characters their own personality. I did find it slow going to begin with but it gets better once we progress more into the story.

Really good sci fi story

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This was an interesting sci fi tale with a strong female protagonist. The story is told from the main character's perspective as she recounts the events leading up to where we first meet her. I actually thought this would make a good movie. The narration is, and felt right for the story. All in all, I'd say this is worth a credit if you love sci fi.

A Good read / listen

C.F Waller has a talent for writing science fiction thrillers, and this book is a great example of that talent. A little slow in places but the story builds and the tension and need to know carries you thru the slower parts. Once absorbed into the plot - you just need answers to know what happened. It's not all action - "think Apollo 13".
Great narration fully in tune with the story and tempo. Audio quality is excellent.

Creative Sci-Fi with a fun and tough Female hero.

Would you listen to Palindrome 656 again? Why?

Yes .....but would prefer if some editing were done to improve the experience.

It is refreshing to have a Space adventure with a strong female character as the main attraction of the plot.

Our hero of course.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It was not difficult to listen to the entire story it is a fun read.

Any additional comments?

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Holy crap that was good!

Waller does it again...... what is it that he does? I’ll tell you, he completely blows me away. If you have not read anything by this author I encourage you to pick something up immediately. He always tells completely original stories and his characters are well thought out, sometimes lovable, sometimes not but you will never be let down.
When authors say that they are often asked that old boring ‘where do you get your ideas?’ Question this one makes me want to ask! I think I’ve read or listened to everything he has published.
Jazz/Hannah is hard to live and even harder to kill. She has more has nine lives and we just aren’t sure how high that number goes. Not even space can kill her. She denies she has human feelings but occasionally you get a tiny glimpse of them.
Sophie is her constant companion and the source of endless entertainment.
Wait until you meet here two!
While Jazz is a small woman I envision her as Charlize Theron. In my mind she is a bad ass lethal goddess!
I’d be so happy to read more adventures with Jazz but I’m also happy with how this one turned out.
Narration was spectacular. Not sure if Waller picks his narrators but they always do an excellent job. I will be looking for more by Charlotte Kyle. She has made it to the top of my female narrators list.
I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook from the publisher/author but voluntarily give my honest review.
