Publisher's summary

His name: Miles Flint. His occupation: Retrieval Artist. His job: find the Disappeared - outlaws on the run, wanted for crimes against alien cultures. The catch: Flint isn't working on the side of the law anymore.

One simple mistake and a Disappeared could end up dead. But this time, the death of an ailing Retrieval Artist has caught Flint's attention. He suspects it was foul play, not a viral infection. Equally suspicious is a young woman's sudden demise during the Moon's prestigious Extreme Marathon. As Flint investigates, he finds an ominous connection. Both deaths lead back to a scientist - a scientist who is now one of the Disappeared.

Hate the reading

I liked the first book all right (probably 3-4 stars), so I thought I'd try this one. The problem is, this reader is killing me. The reading is over-pronounced and halting. I hate it. The book seems OK, but I can't finish it because of the reader.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
