About this listen
An action-packed space opera novel from the author of the Pattern universe.
AWA Agent Philus Grady is sent on a clandestine investigation of a terraformed planet suspected of being behind growing hostilities between the CORE Navy and the Allied Worlds. Once there, Grady's unique training quickly uncovers the planet's amazing secret of a repressed truth that will alter history, a truth that almost gets him killed. In a race against time and enemy ships, Grady has to expose the CORE's secret, but will the news spark the war they all fear is coming.

This is wholly due to the main character Grady, narration by Edward James Beesley helps this Gentleman Spy/ agent persona and if the galaxy feels likes its a bit british then it kinda suits the feel of the story.
As Grady reveals hidden truths and a past thats seems to be darker than first assumed you feel safe in that calm, collected manner that he affects and be jove he shall do the right thing.
An interesting set of characters is the AI personas he comes across which offer some light hearted relief and is a nice touch.
I don't do spoilers but i will be keeping an eye on the next episode.
I requested this audio for free and have chosen to leave an honest review and as such is my own opinion.
Interesting start to a New Saga

The narration is good, clear and easy to listen too. Each character is given a unique voice with both distinct personally and emotion. The narrator does a great job keeping the action tense and the story engaging. The background sound effects they use are done just right, enough to add to the listing experience and not disturb or pull you away from the story.
All in all well worth a listen. I hope they do a book two.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
Secret agent in space.

Set in the complex politics of the Clone Worlds, an introductory session at the beginning, repeated again at the end, brings the reader a résumé of the background situation and political and business bodies which had power within, as well as a brief history of the universe as it now existed. If there is a criticism of the text, it is the frequent use of the initial letters of these numerous groups. The complexity can make the story alliances confusing initially.
That aside, the story is intriguing, fast paced and action filled with unexpected twists to add savour. The ideas, too, are thought provoking.
Narrator, Edward James Beesley, reads clearly with good intonation and expression, his character voicings individual and reasonable although not always properly representative - his male and female characters all having a similar timbre. Behind his narration, throughout the book, is a softly playing ambient sound track, too quiet to disrupt the speech but sufficient to bring a welcome sense of place. It is a well executed and clever idea which really enhances the overall experience.
Although I enjoyed this book and look forward to the next, it was not (for this reader, at least) an easy listen, demanding concentration throughout and I found myself repeating several sections after losing track of some plot situations. But ultimately this was worthwhile. My thanks to the rights holder of Mutant Hunter who freely gifted me a copy, at my request, via Audiobook Boom. It was a full and satisfying read. Thank you.
