Publisher's summary

A fleet of 40 worldships carrying the last remnants of humanity on a mission of survival trying to find a new home...but what if a new planet were found - would it bring happiness and hope - or start a war that would rip the fleet apart?

Coming from the poverty-stricken Elfor settlement on the Humility, Master Thief Yasmine Dufont just wants a way off the stinking ship and to put a whole lot of distance between her and gangster ex-boyfriend, Dimitri. But when a dream score of credits goes disastrously wrong, she’s left on the run with a hidden code that everyone seems to want to get their hands on.

Addict Detective Zhang Woo will do anything for his next fix. Distracted by his insatiable needs, broken by the murder of his last lover, he knows he’s on a downward spiral but has no idea how to stop it, and even if he could recover the stolen navigational code his boss wants so badly, should he?

Breaking new stories has always been Kristi Carter’s passion - but there’s something not adding up about the report she’s currently covering. Digging deeper could have repercussions not just for her career but for her very life....

As the tensions rise between Elfors and the anti-Elfor movement headed by the sadistic Captain Pierre Jefferson, everyone knows the breaking point will be reached soon. Humanity may well have been saved from complete destruction - but what cost are they willing to pay to secure their future?

good second book

Wow the narrator really outdid himself. You really have to appreciate his skill. To be able to go from slinging slang as yassie to completely deadpan with no accent as Chang.. I still find it hard to believe sometimes that these voices are all from one person. Great second book in the series! The author does such a great job building these different worlds. Eagerly waiting for the next book in this series!

Outstanding!

This has been an excellent series. The story line and world building is great, and the performance by Colin Morgan was the best, BY FAR, that I have heard to date.

Best book of 2020!

The first book was great, but this book is exponentially that much greater. By far the best development of any of the 100 audible books I’ve listened to in 2020. Funny AF too! The character Sun might be my new favorite person. I truly hope there will be a 3rd! Highly recommend getting if you are on the fence about it. You can thank me later. Cheers.

Love the humor!

R R Haywood is so funny and a fantastic storyteller. The verbal slapstick is a hoot and the characters are very well developed! He makes you feel their delight, angst, fear, and everything in between. This is my third series listening to Haywood’s stories on audible and I can’t get enough....looking forward to the next episode of any of his worlds!

Spellbinding

I loved the first book in this series, but I enjoyed this one even more! The story continues exactly where the first book ended, but the adventure gets more and more exciting and convoluted.

Full disclosure - definitely for a mature audience - both in content & language.

I have no idea what the total character count is - but it is huge! Many of the characters from book one reappear, and there is a host of new ones introduced. Many times the story has us witnessing conversations between multiple people, and as a listener, you actually believe they are all separate individuals! It blows my mind that these unique voices, male and female, are all done by the same man!

RR Haywood's writing style is so engaging, but for me what makes this book outstanding is Colin Morgan's voice work. The book is a fabulous collaboration between a skilled author's imaginative storytelling, and a supremely talented narrator. Overall, a credit very well spent!

One of those books you listen to straight through

It's an ok book, but Colin Morgan turns it into an AMAZING Audiobook.. I haven't laughed so much in a long time. The humor isn't just slapstick, or overly intellectual like most sci-fi. This is so hilarious because it is soooo relatable, especially if you are or know a tech/science geek with inexperience in social "norms". A lot of people have said that this has too much sex in it, and, well, something is off. It isn't the amount of sex... look at Tamer by Michael Scott Earl, those books are pretty much non-stop hardcore porns, and yet are some of the best sci-fi I have heard, granted it's uncomfortale at times, especially when visitors appear unexpected and you are using you new 7.1 surround sound... The issue with this book is that the sexual encounters and "issues" are just nothing near realistic. Chang, the Sex addict Detective is one example, with him feeling soo disgusting many times after standing at attention after seeing a woman dressing, or showering, being very close to him,etc. (just ONE of many examples) If you go off this book, EVERY male would be diagnosed as a horrific sex addict, and teens, wow, they'd be locked up for life...

Haywood does it again!

There is a reason why RR Haywood is my favorite contemporary science fiction author, and he has only added to his record with “The Elfor Drop”! As always, he built a complex plot and filled it with many complex characters, again, as usual, all of which were really well developed and each having their own interesting back stories, with all fitting perfectly into the complicated, yet followable plot! Throw in Haywood’s usual off beat humor, realistic romance side plots and intense action, and you’ve got yet another fantastic read! Way to go, Boss!

What a ride!

A story that makes you want to keep listening to find out what happens. Great character development that makes you fall in love with them. You cheer, you laugh out loud, etc. The narrator does a great job of voicing many different characters; truly amazing!
