Publisher's summary

Revenge is a dish best served with two smoking barrels.

Doing a favor for her mentor Sammy P., Skye Byrn runs in one of the usual suspects on Ter, a small time Crunkhead named Trudy, another one of Sammy’s works in progress. Then a crime lord’s bomb rocks the station and Skye’s world will never be whole again.

Determined to find the bomber and put an end to their takeover attempt - and their existence, Skye enlists an unlikely ally, Trudy. As the station descends into madness, she finds herself in the fight of her life. If she fails to stop the takeover, she’ll be just another victim in their growing body count.

Skye brings the heat and there’s no price she won’t pay for vengeance.

narration gave me an interesting perspective

I read a lot of action, kick-ass kind of books (Ryan, Rapp, Reacher, etc). I expected Skye Byrn to be in that same mold based on the reviews and descriptions, but female. I was pleasantly surprised by the different perspective I got from listening to the narration by Cosme. The story is about a bounty hunter, Skye, who loses her friends to an attack by gangsters, and is out for revenge. A familiar main plot, with a lot of kicking butt and the usual, but with some interesting diversions and characters. I expected a kick-ass, hard-nosed protagonist, but the voicing by Rebecca Cosme made me feel like she was not really the hard person I expected, but was a softer, more gentle person that was driven to act the way she did out of anger and emotions. I don't know if I would have gotten that much of an impression by just reading the book. Rebecca did a great job with the voicing for multiple characters, and made it easier to follow the action. I enjoyed the book, and would like to see where it goes from here.

easy read

I was given this book in return for a review.
A gritty fast paced fururistic story, raw flawed characters. An enjoyable, short and easy to listen to tale.
Great narrator with animated vocals and a good range voices.

A Simple Job

I found this book to be entertaining. Skye was a bounty hunter who was asked to pick up Trudy, only things didn't go the way she was expecting. I liked the unique characters of Skye and Trudy. I enjoyed the twists and turns that made this story seem like a roller-coaster with all the events that happened. I liked the Sci-Fi elements that made up the tale. Rebecca Cosme's narration was fine. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Audio version of Skye Bryn

I struggled with listening to this book compared to reading. interrupted too easily. not used to audiobook said I guess. I enjoyed the reading, just could not put together reasons for different things happening in the story. was difficult to understand the underlying storyline, plot, subplots and resolvemeant. I believe if I had read the book this would not have been an issue.

Decent listen

This was a pretty good story. However, the main character did seem a bit too whiny and "woe is me" for my tastes. The narrator did come across as a bit monotonous but still made the characters have their own voices. All that said, it was still a decent book and a quick listen.

Enjoyable listen

I wasn't sure what to expect when I started listening to this book. I ended up really enjoying it. It has a cyberpunk/mafia vibe to it.

great sifi story!

Skype Byrn is an excellent sifi adventure! if anything, it was over too soon. I hope to see more in this universe in the future. it has the feeling of an ordinary story for the leader of an epic team!

Another great entry by Mr. Avera

Although I had already read this book on kindle, i wanted to see if the audible version was any good. I was pleasantly surprised with the overall quality. I already knew it was a good story, but the narrator was able to add color to the story.
The narrator did an exceptional job and used voice inflection and accents to clearly differentiate the various characters. She was also consistent in her delivery making it clear who was speaking, just by using different voices.

All in all this book is well worth the read and will entertain you for several hours.

Revenge Is Sweet in Space

When a package bomb sent by the syndicate blows up her office and takes out her boss and many of her colleagues, Skye goes out for vengeance in this action-packed thriller set on a space station.
Fast paced and well written with interesting characters and a cool S.F. setting that is easy to imagine.

Great Plot and all around Good Story

I enjoyed it! This book has a really well thought out plot! I listened to it in one day because I didn't want to stop. The Narrator did a great job and I hope to encounter her in future audiobooks that I may listen to.
