About this listen

Aboard the hyperspace liner Redshift is a relativistic world of slow light and treachery. The first sign of trouble is the apparent suicide of a passenger. When first officer Jason Kraft discovers that she was murdered, Kraft wants to know why. Before long, a desperate group of people tries to use the hyperspace craft for their evil purposes, and Kraft is the only person in their way.

Interesting idea and ok story

The idea is interesting and I did not see it before.
The book itself is mostly focused on exploring the idea and the different ways normal actions can change.
Interesting, not great by itself but good for a listen.

Near light speed effects make an interesting background.

The reading was a little ponderous and monotone but good accents. The story was based on a ship that displayed a full gambit of near light speed effects which was interesting but not enough to overcome the limitations of the plot. At times convoluted with plot twists but nothing that could stop us foreseeing the inevitable outcome. I listened to the end but at times I wished it was better paced, not helped by the reading.

A must read for hard science syfi fans!

I get a lot of my syfi from the + catalogue, some I'm glad I didn't have to pay for, a lot I'd bought in a sale and then a very few I'd have been very happy to spend a token on. This is one of those, in some ways it's a just very well written, and narrated, hero's journey with a well fleshed out, interesting hero, what elevates it above so many is the use of physics. The author cleverly explains it slowly so that by the time it becomes essential to the plot, you're, pardon the pun, up to speed.

Best syfi I've read in ages, and I read a lot.
