The Queen of Sidonia: Complete Edition

By: Richard Fox, Lauren Moore

Narrated by: Moira Quirk

Princess Cosima will be queen—if she survives to her eighteenth birthday.

In a galaxy controlled by massive corporations, few worlds are truly free. When explorers find a priceless wormhole near Sidonia, the hostile attention of the Aquitaine Corporation focuses on the small backwater kingdom.

To protect their world, Sidonia's royalty rush seventeen-year-old Princess Cosima into an arranged marriage, one that will guarantee a treaty and shield Sidonia from Aquitaine's clutches. But Cosima never asked for the honor of becoming the next queen to a man she doesn't love.

With the fate of the planet hanging in the balance, a team of deadly assassins targets Cosima. The best killers money can buy will see the Princess dead before her wedding day. Cosima will need her wits to uncover the identity of the assassins targeting her and her courage to stay alive in the middle of an interstellar power struggle.

The Princess Bride meets Star Wars in The Queen of Sidonia, a fast-paced space opera and a tale of survival against impossible odds.

Kinda surprised

It started kind of off for me. I was listening while driving. After the first hour I was ready to give up. But by the time I finishes driving, about 3 hours in I didn't want to turn it off. Part one was action packed in typical Fox fashion. But the princess could be a bit annoying. She got much better in part 2. The narrator is amazing. I'll be honest. I usually don't like woman narrators or British accents. But she is really good in this.

Disappointed

I love Richard Fox and have read everything he’s written. I’ve enjoyed the audio versions of his work. But somehow this one misses the mark. Mostly it’s because of the narrator. She and her accent are so distracting. She doesn’t make the male characters believable. I really wish someone else had narrated this book set.
