The crew of the Hermes has a change of luck when they find a derelict vessel with a valuable and mysterious cargo. Scott McNabb and his four companions are instructed to take this cargo to a specific location but more parties are interested and will fight and even kill for it. The story is set in a distant future in which humanity has conquered the Solar System and AI's are a part of people's daily lives.

This space opera has been quite refreshing. It is an action-packed quest with a couple of twists and surprises along the way. I like when characters in a book are more than what they seem at first, and this is the case of captain McNabb. The rest of the characters are not so developed, but they play important roles in the story. There is also the AI of the ship, or more specifically, Quantum Intelligence, a special and evolved kind of AI.

It was a very entertaining story with some original elements that made it unique. I am curious about what they will find in Europa, and how the characters and story will evolve. I'm definitely listening to the rest of the series.

Steven Jay Cohen brought the characters to life with masterful interpretations. I always enjoy Cohen's narrations, because he knows how to transmit the characters' feelings, making them matter, and trapping me in the story.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
