The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the Native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon came ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There went the good old days, when humans got killed only by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

London, 1923. Olive Belgrave needs a job. Despite her aristocratic upbringing, she’s penniless. Determined to support herself, she jumps at an unconventional job - looking into the background of her cousin’s fiancé, Alfred. Alfred burst into the upper crust world of London’s high society, but his answers to questions about his past are decidedly vague. Before Olive can gather more than the basics, a murder occurs at a posh party. Suddenly, every Bright Young Person in attendance is a suspect, and Olive must race to find the culprit.

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.

Challenging as a Movie and also as a Novelization
Prior to reading about this international graphic series, I had never heard or seen “Valerian”. Prior to seeing the movie I wanted to listen to this novelization first. The storyline is just OK, as it is simplistic and to some extent very predictable.
The reader and voice performance was very good and I finished this audiobook in a day and a half. My overall rating was a four stars only because of the reader.

Nothing special.
The narration was well done but the story had it's dull moments and cliches I found occasionally hard to overcome. The beginning was enjoyable and promised an exciting universe but began to fizzle towards the middle and end for me, that may be due to the long breaks I had while listening to the book or maybe not.
