This refers to the audiobook version.
The concept of this story was really interesting and is what drew me in to give it a go. The reality did not quite measure up to the promise. I did enjoy it and I liked Mickey in all of his incarnations and his close friends. Marshall is a prick, no questions, to the point of being predictable unfortunately.
I did really enjoy the flashback history sections, and think the world building is good to the point that I would like to know more. I also wanted to know more about the indigenous inhabitants of the planet. Maybe there will be more in the sequel.
Great narration from John Pirhalla with cameo's from Katharine Chin.
