Murder

Except that Tristol’s beloved space station is unexpectedly contacted by the galoi - a xenophobic species with five genders, purple skin, and serious attitude. They need the help of a human detective because there’s a murderer aboard their spaceship. Murder is so rare, the galoi don’t even have a word for it.

Tristol knows this because he is galoi.

Romance

Which means that he and Detective Hastion are on the case...together.

Delicate sensibilities?

Contains men who love other men in graphic detail, regardless of gender, biology, or skin color...and lots of emotively sexy tentacle hair.

I want more!

A funny and beautiful story. Well written and well narrated. Hope the next one will come out soon. I loved it !!!

Good story, exceptionally produced.

A fun sci-fi mystery romance. Yep all that and noodles too. Michael Lesley is a great narrarator. The story had both poignant and laugh out loud moments. Standout for me the fact that production addressed the problem of distinguishing between dialogue and interior thoughts that pops up in audiobooks

please give us more

and let me specify. i want more of tris and trey. their work and lives.

I want more!

I loved every minute of this phenomenal story and hope the author continues giving us tales from this universe. It managed to make me laugh as well as break my heart.

*Blows a kiss into the sky* for Tristol

I finished this all in one go. Tristol is such a great character, it’s a treat every time he opens his mouth. The descriptions of how he interprets the world around him is fascinating, and I really liked the inclusion of his native language bleeding over to his ‘english’. The narrator’s voice acting for him is super endearing too. I’d kill to see more from this universe and its characters.

My one issue with the narration was how fast he was talking. I had to set it to 0.75x because I was missing a lot of information.
