Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Space salvage is no occupation for a proper 15-year-old girl. But Fura Ness, as demurely voiced by narrator Clare Corbett, is no ordinary teen…Thanks to Corbett’s vocal choices, listeners can hear this hardening in Fura. The chameleonlike Corbett also effectively voices Fura’s many diverse crewmates—from burly men to hardscrabble women…The enjoyable result is a layered star-spanning odyssey filled with drama, adventure, and, yes, revenge.” —AudioFile

Basically, it's Treasure Island meets Moby Dick, set in space, with a nice Blade Runner-ish color palette and a cast of character worthy of a Terry Gilliam movie. I loved it. —Joanne Harris

An excellent, gripping piece of work. —SFANDF Reviews
