About this audiobook

When Captain Lana Fiveworlds seizes on a lucrative contract to fly a rough-and-ready bunch of grave robbers between the worlds of long-extinct civilisations, she’s expecting a nice easy ride for her misfit crew on board the starship Gravity Rose.

After all, those unlucky perished alien species died of climate change, atomic wars, comet strikes, plagues, and mass solar flare ejections thousands, if not millions of years ago.

So, what can go wrong? Plunder a few failed planets for priceless abandoned antiques and lost technologies and make out like an interstellar bandit!

Sadly, the karma of the universe has other ideas - and easy, it surely ain’t. When their troubles slowly mount, Lana, Calder, Zeno, and the other crew members battle for far more than their lives. The ultimate cost could be more than the captain - or her dear friends and family - can bear.

REVIEWS 


Praise for Stephen Hunt's novels: 


‘Mr. Hunt takes off at racing speed.’

— THE WALL STREET JOURNAL


‘Hunt's imagination is probably visible from space. He scatters concepts that other writers would mine for a trilogy like chocolate-bar wrappers.’ 

- TOM HOLT 


‘All manner of bizarre and fantastical extravagance.’ 

- DAILY MAIL 


‘Compulsive reading for all ages.’ 

- GUARDIAN 


‘Studded with invention.’ 

-THE INDEPENDENT  


‘To say this book is action packed is almost an understatement… a wonderful escapist yarn!’ 

- INTERZONE 


‘Hunt has packed the story full of intriguing gimmicks… affecting and original.’ 

- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 


‘A rip-roaring Indiana Jones-style adventure.’ 

—RT BOOK REVIEWS 


‘A curious part-future blend.’ 

- KIRKUS REVIEWS 


‘An inventive, ambitious work, full of wonders and marvels.’ 

- THE TIMES 


‘Hunt knows what his audience like and gives it to them with a sardonic wit and carefully developed tension.’ 

- TIME OUT 


‘A ripping yarn … the story pounds along… constant inventiveness keeps the reader hooked… the finale is a cracking succession of cliffhangers and surprise comebacks. Great fun.’ 

- SFX MAGAZINE 


‘Put on your seatbelts for a frenetic cat and mouse encounter... an exciting tale.’ 

- SF REVU
