About this listen

For five hundred years the robot waited to encounter a human. When it finally did, it probably wished it was a different human.

Nelson Newman was destined to be the first person to set foot on Mars. Instead, he finds himself transported across the galaxy and pitched into a battle of wits against a ruthless enemy, who will do whatever it takes to safeguard their people and their power. If Nelson can’t figure out who his friends are, and how to get back home, then he has no hope of saving Earth.

I don’t think the narrator enjoyed this book. He just read it, no evidence of he wanted to get you interested in the characters at all

Likeable listen. Good characters. Especially SELF and Oleander. I liked how it didn’t end on a massive cliffhanger, but had enough intrigue to make me load up the second novel in the trilogy.

Solid sci-fi adventure

I don't often read or listen to sci fi - the narrator really brought the characters to life, was clear and easy to listen to - I found it very interesting and compelling from the start and am looking forward to the next 2 books in the trilogy.
