Summary

Original score by Danny Schade

Welcome to Wheel: a perfect world without poverty, disease, or want. Tinkered and tuned in every way for maximum order by Rank and Spoke, every child knows her destiny - so long as she can take the neural implant.

The defective, whose bodies reject the implants, do not exist. Ghosts. Cyphers. Haunting the edges of society, living on scraps, killed for sport. A lucky few, the Crudrats, scrape out a perilous living cleaning the toxic wastes from the great machines that power the station.

Meet Maura. Cypher. Crudrat. Grown too tall, alone in a spaceport with no use for her, doomed to starve. With only her crud-eating murmel and an alien monster to help her, she must find a way to survive, or escape, before they catch her and blow what's left of her life, and her companions, into space.

From the pen of Gail Carriger, ArtisticWhispers Productions presents an unabridged full-cast young-adult adventure that brings golden age-style science-fiction into the 21st century, stuffs it full of heart and gives it a finely polished, gleaming edge.

Different from the others

Not the same.e as Gail's other books but I enjoyed read it and now listening to it. Will there be more? I do hope so.

Space adventure

I really enjoyed this - it reminded me a little of the classic sci-fi novel ‘Barbary’ by Vonda N. McIntyre. Not the same story, but it has some overlap. I loved the adventure, and the characters. It is designed for young people not aged folk like me, but I still enjoyed it.

Such imagination

Like all Gail Carriger books, Crudrat introduces a complex world, so different from ours.
I do hope there are plans to continue writing more books in this world.

I love all the books Gail Carriger has written and the audio performances always bring the stories to life.
