The Rise of Io by Wesley Chu

4.0

Not sure how I stumbled upon this, but I only heard the audiobook. As an audiobook, it was great for long road trips (had to drive 13 hours from Chicago to NOLA and back). The thing about audiobooks is that you really need the story to be relatively linear since your attention is on the road most of the time. So this book really fits the bill. It is tinged with humor, the voice over is dead on and the different characters have their own personalities. Enjoyed it tremendously for the road and if you are into action storylines. It's a science fiction, but it's not a -hard- science fiction so there isn't much world-building involved.
