Salvaged

De: Madeleine Roux

Narrado por: Emily Woo Zeller

A WOMAN ON THE RUN. A CAPTAIN ADRIFT IN SPACE. ONE OF THEM IS INFECTED WITH AN ALIEN PARASITE.

In this dark science fiction thriller, a young woman must confront her past so the human race will have a future.

Rosalyn Devar is on the run from her famous family, the bioengineering job she's come to hate, and her messed-up life. She's run all the way to outer space, where she's taken a position as a "space janitor," cleaning up ill-fated research expeditions. But no matter how far she goes, Rosalyn can't escape herself. After too many mistakes on the job, she's given one last chance: take care of salvaging the Brigantine, a research vessel that has gone dark, with all crew aboard thought dead.

But the Brigantine's crew are very much alive--if not entirely human. Now Rosalyn is trapped on board, alone with a crew infected by a mysterious parasitic alien. The captain, Edison Aries, seems to still maintain some control over himself and the crew, but he won't be able to keep fighting much longer. Rosalyn and Edison must find a way to stop the parasite's onslaught...or it may take over the entire human race.

Outstanding story

Great story did well on description great narration minor gaps but still good all the way .

started out great

The story started out great, had an interesting premise. But it goes nowhere. I'm sorry, I wanted to like it. Narrator is excellent as always.

Another solid hit

Holy buckets on a stick it was a ride. Roux hit the sweet spot in flow between a movie and story heavy RPG.

Throughout the audiobook the theme that kept getting pushed is no matter what... be present. When it all starts to fall apart and the fan has drowned, forward doesn't exist without first being present.

Every character has a purpose, and feels relevant to the story, to the moment. And they drive it. For all the talk of gore and violence it has a purpose and a place that makes the story work instead of just being put in for zazzle or shock. And after it all finished, I only really have one question... about little talking roots.

Do yourself a favor and pick this up today.

Started out really good….

Then after some great gore and creepy times it got really really slooooooow. Nothing was actually progressing in any way as they meandered through space. Then BOOM ending action and then it was over with very few answers. Easily could have cut a few hours out.

Very slow burn

This was an interesting concept for a book but it ended up being overall kind of boring. It felt like the same events were happening in sequence, over and over. The ending is predictable.
