The Rift

Rimworld

De: JL Curtis

Narrado por: Walt Allen

Danny Ortega was a failure. He couldn't tolerate the implant to be a starship captain....

But Danny Ortega has run his deep-space research vessel Ghost alone for years, flaky AI and all, mapping the most unstable and unexplored regions of the Rift for the Cartographers Guild. When his latest mission lands in a mass graveyard of ships, including some ships out of legend, lost for hundreds of years, the guild isn't happy with him.

He picks up a misfit crew out of the asteroids, and the games begin!

Turns out he'll need them not just for research and salvage, but to help him keep his ship! As word gets out that he has artifacts and is returning remains, Danny finds he's gone from chasing a prize to becoming one himself....

Unfortunately for his enemies, Danny didn't get his own ship by being an easy target or giving up. His odd connections and crew have plenty of surprises up their sleeves, too!

A delightful frontier story in space

I have come to realize that Jim's work is good old-fashioned entertainment. He works hard at making sure that there are no glaring science errors that will shove you out of the flow of the story and he makes his characters accessible and identifiable (as in it's not hard to identify with someone in it). One can tell that he has been around the block a time or two and that he has read more than a few old classics. Just honest entertainment that is not pushing any hard messages. Full of folks who want to make their way through life and not be messed with.
I look forward to reading more of this.

Fantastic series

Rim world is a great series , The Rift is a great addition to it. I just wish there were more of them on audio.
