Summary

“The answer is no, Lyra”, my mother utters her favorite - I swear - phrase.

No means I have to travel with them to another planet - again.

No means leaving all my friends 50 years in the past. Thanks, Einstein.

Seventeen-year-old Lyra Daniels can’t truly blame Einstein or her parents for their impending move across the Milky Way Galaxy. It’s all due to the invention of the Q-net, which made traveling the vast distances in space possible - with one big caveat: the time dilation. But that never stopped Lyra's ancestors from exploring the Milky Way, searching for resources and exoplanets to colonize. What they didn’t expect to find is life-sized terracotta warriors buried on 21 different exoplanets...Make that 22.

As the Galaxy’s leading experts on the warriors, Lyra's parents are thrilled by the new discovery, sending them - and her - 50 years into the future. Her social life in ruins, she fills her lonely days by illegally worming into the Q-net. The only person close to her age is the annoyingly irresistible security officer who threatens to throw her into the brig.

After the planet they just left goes silent - meaning no communications from them at all - security has bigger problems to deal with than Lyra, especially when vital data files go missing. But that's just the beginning, because they’re not as alone as they thought on their new planet...and suddenly time isn't the only thing working against them.

Awesome book and storyteller

I have been a fan of Maria V Snyder for a long time and this series certainly doesn't disappoint! And I was apprehensive about the audiobook (I actually won it in a competition) as I have never really listened to audiobooks before but Gabra Zackman was excellent and really did make the characters come alive! As soon as I finished the first one in the series I immediately went to buy the other two in the series as I couldn't not listen to them!

Promising

It took me a few chapters to get used to the style of this book. The reader is a part of the main characters internal monologue, and once I got used to this I started to enjoy the clever, witty, sarcastic main character and her story.

The narrator is very good and is clear, the only thing I struggled with was the different voices for each character. Although well done they were a bit distracting.

Overall a good book/listen and I'm looking forward to the next one.

'Oh my stars' is my new catchphrase!

Fabulous Narrator and an engaging story

Maria V Snyder does not fail to produce an addictive story. A great narrator and this makes for a fabulous listen.

I love the concept and where it is leading is exciting, I can’t wait for more!
