For me, sci fi as it’s meant to be, a brilliant mix of brains and brawn.

I listened to this one as an audiobook.

I think I struggled to remain engaged with this one 😕

It's not that it's a bad story. It was interesting in parts, but it felt like a big "fuck you" to Holden that he was put in this no-win position against an absolute fuck-knuckle blowhard hired-muscle dickwad.

And the epilogue confirmed that was the case! Like ... What?! Deliberate sabotage from the beginning. Wasn't meant to succeed. Fuck off.

In the end, I'm giving this one 3 out of 5 stars. It was frustrating. The planet was more interesting than what was being put upon Holden and the crew, but we're not actually here to explore that, I guess?
