A little more about the listen

As the new colony gates destabilise the old order, ships vanish, terrorist attacks devastate the inner planets and the Rocinante crew is separated while trying to survive and reunite.

The listening experience

Jefferson Mays handles the action-heavy, multi-viewpoint novel as an unabridged solo performance. The 18-hour-plus runtime suits a sustained series binge, while the separated viewpoints give the performance a strong sense of movement.

Best for

Listeners already invested in the Rocinante crew who want political upheaval, space exploration, escalating threats and brisker momentum.

The honest note

A single narrator has to distinguish many viewpoints across a large cast. Listeners who prefer full-cast productions may need more attention at first, especially during interrupted sessions.

Worth the credit?

Worth considering for listeners already invested in the rocinante crew who want political upheaval, space exploration, escalating threats and brisker momentum. The honest note is the deciding reservation to weigh before spending a credit: A single narrator has to distinguish many viewpoints across a large cast. Listeners who prefer full-cast productions may need more attention at first, especially during interrupted sessions.
