Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

It’s two months before Amelia’s big audition for the Mystwick School of Musicraft. If she gets in, she will learn to spin music into powerful magic - but her Gran has one last-ditch plan to persuade her out of it: sports camp. A week of softball, sprinting, and sweaty socks isn't exactly Amelia’s idea of a good time - in fact, she's deeply, appallingly unathletic. By the end of day one, she’s puked her guts out in track, gotten a black eye in no-contact flag football, and firmly established herself as the Least Valuable Player at camp.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Ouch - couldn't get passed the voices..
The acting was bad in this. I gave it 5 minutes before I quit. The dialogue was okay, but butchered by the acting.
I have no idea if the actual story was good or not.

Really funny and fresh!
My only complaint is that it’s too short. Audio background was amazing as well as the voice actors. Amazingly written and I love the absurd comedy with an undertone of drama. Would 100% recommend!

Slow build approval
I was underwhelmed in the beginning (felt the dialogue was very stilted), but it grew on me, and it tied together in the end. In retrospect I'm sold.

Such a fun story
I didn’t know what to expect with this book. I really enjoyed the performance of the narrators. Didn’t know where this story was going at first, but it all came together well. I enjoyed it. Glad I picked this as one of my free books this month.

A Quick Unique Experience
I haven't heard a story like this before and thoroughly enjoyed each of the narrators. The plot and connections between characters was really cool to unveil. Overall, pretty cool!

Thought Provoking and entertaining.
Even though this was a story about the future, I thought this was exceptionally poignant and resonated with the issues of today's immigrants and displaced persons. The author blended humor and pathos that moved the story along at a rapid pace while still effectively communicating a strong message. I am going to search out more works of this writer as I think they have a unique style and talent that tells a story while leaving the reader with thought provoking ideas. I really enjoyed this audible and would like to see this in a movie or play.

Feels like it was plucked out of a book
Intriguing and established a lot of context in a short story but feels like it was plucked out of the middle of a book. Worth the listen if your a scifi fan.

is this it?
I'm so confused, seems like the first chapter of a book, enough that you enjoy it, but also enough that it's annoying being so short

Strange story
It was a strange little story. I enjoyed the plot twist, I wasn't expecting it, although I thought it was quite a random story with not much to it.

Well paced, funny and great performances.
It’s not long and had enough to say to have been worth developing. That said, as an embryonic allegory rather than a mature one, it’s very well done and the small cast are uniformly excellent. They all have some funny, often poignant lines and they do not waste them.

Excellent performances let down by poor storyline
The performances are well done especially as they have to give reality to some pretty clunky lines but overall I just didn't get on with the storyline, finding it superficial and empty. Getting to the end I was left with an overwhelming sense of thank goodness that's over. It didn't inspire me to read/listen to any more but for other listeners it might be exactly what they want - over an hours worth of light entertainment. If so, I heartily recommend.

As they recount the events surrounding the disappearance of their toddler—one with a tendency to bite—two parents cope with grief in vastly different ways. While the father wrestles with feelings of guilt, the mother is convinced she’s spotted the boy in frightening TV news reports...though let’s just say he looks nothing like the precocious little boy they remember from a decade ago.
