An addictive read. Surprised it took me so long to find! Narration is different but excellent and well suited to the story and characters. Sad to have reached the end.

Kept me listening throughout. Plenty of quirky twists with good pace. Great narration as always.

A great story to celebrate science and engineering - it really is quite useful kids!
I enjoyed the delivery and subtle humour. The technology and analysis were a fun tutorial.
Engineers will love this. Don’t let that put you off if you are not that way inclined- it’s an enjoyable listen.

Fantastic and far reaching sci-fi. Very different characters feature in several intertwined stories. A gradual and complex build up over an epic journey. Attention grabbing from the beginning. Well narrated by a cast of actors which helped differentiate the characters. Recommend to sci-fi readers of all genres.

Having two narrators helped to give some contrast. Not an outlandish story, being strongly tethered to the world we know. My usual sci-fi is a bit more out there and so this felt a bit more like straight fiction rather than science fiction. A good listen with relatable characters. Interested to see how book two shapes up.

Hard to write a review of such a classic that has already received so much well deserved praise. Fantastic story, characters and detail. Completely immersive! Essential reading.

The Joe and Skippy combo are always good value. This time a bit darker and with a tantalising glimpse of just how weird the universe is. Still more to give!

Having really enjoyed books one and two, I went straight to book three. A change in narrator took some getting used to. Nothing wrong with the performance just odd not to use the same guy who delivered the other books so well. There are connections with the other books but hard to call it a joined up trilogy. If I’m honest I think the first two were better but still a great listen. Amazing imagination, succinctly described and fully immersive. Recommended.

I was worried about having seen the TV series but the detail and extra complexity of the book make it worthwhile and fulfilling.
The environment and characters come from a huge imagination and are described with efficient ease, leaving you feeling you’ve earned your own place in that world.
The plot is tantalisingly complex and dark, told straight and without unnecessary embellishment - all adding to the sense of real.
The narration felt slow to begin with but quickly grew to feel well suited to the language. A good and confident delivery.
I would definitely recommend this book. I’ve downloaded the second and third parts of the trilogy already.

A great listen as always. Having listened to the whole series, I’m finding it hard to remember exactly what went on in this book! The adventures of the Mavericks, away from Joe and Skippy, was refreshing broadening the story while keeping the plot moving along. Some great new characters. RC completely nails the narration as always. I can’t imagine anyone else doing the characters justice. I’m wondering if this is the last one!
