À propos de cet audio

Award-winning actor Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Castle, The Rookie) brings to life a snarky artificial intelligence you won't soon forget. Don't miss his hilarious performance in a story perfectly crafted for sci-fi fans of The Martian, Red Dwarf, and We Are Legion (We Are Bob).

They thought this was just another salvage job. They thought wrong.

An AI overseer and a human crew arrive on a distant planet to salvage an ancient UN starship. The overseer is unhappy. The crew, well, they're certainly no A-team. Not even a C-team on the best of days. And worse? Urmahon Beta, the planet, is at the ass-end of nowhere. Everybody expects this to be a long, ugly, and thankless job.

Then it all goes disastrously wrong. What they thought was an uninhabited backwater turns out to be anything but empty. Megafauna roam the land, a rival crew with some terrifyingly high-powered gear haunts the dig site, and a secret that will change humanity forever is waiting in the darkness.

Stuck on this unmapped, hostile planet, lacking resources, and with tech built by the cheapest bidder, the salvage crew must engineer their way to payday...and beat Urmahon Beta before it kills them all.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Yudhanjaya Wijeratne's ingeniously crafted The Salvage Crew starts with a comforting science-fictional familiarity, before using its A.I.-co-authored idiosyncrasies to hurtle headlong into the gravity well of its considerable ambition. A novel of meteoric energy, flaring brighter and brighter as it falls further into its world." (Indrapamit Das, Lambda Award-winning author of The Devourers)

"A classic sci-fi adventure wrapped around a deeply philosophical core. With skillful plotting, interesting details, and a motley crew of humans and A.I., it's a story that embraces its meta-origins...with an ending worth waiting for." (S.B. Divya, Hugo and Nebula Award-nominated author of Runtime and Machinehood)

"With animation and wry humor, Fillion introduces listeners to OC, an artificially intelligent yet poetic overseer...with tenderness and sorrow [he] conveys OC's dawning realization that their mission has turned into a nightmare. Fillion's talents are undeniable...." (Audiofile Magazine)

Loved Nathan Fillion as narrator. Storyline kept me interested and the characters were raw and real. But again, Nathan as narrator was perfect for this project!

I could only make it about five minutes in. really struggle with the narration.

Difficult to listen to

I didn't really like this story.
I found the poetic Buddhist human replicant to be a strange and sometimes kind of annoying main character. The voice acting also sounded whispered and had too much of a hiss far too often. I also found the first half and second half of the story to have a totally different feel, from action adventure to alien philosophy.

strange story

I just loved this audible…the authors ideas are unique and kept me engrossed. Just when I thought I knew what the storyline was about it twists into an unexpected direction. I highly recommend.

Amazing science fiction!

came in expecting a sci fi action adventure pulpy romp

came out with a new and fun solution to the Fermi paradox

sewn through with poetry told by a familiar voice like an old uncle

i look forward to reading more Wijeratne like a cherry tree looks forward to her blossoms and the blossoms lok forward to the snow

fantastic, hard to articulate how good

I was looking forward to hearing Nathan Fillion narrating this story but over all I was disappointed. I’m not sure if it were the writing or the narration that through me off the most— it’s so hard to tell.

I found myself often confused. Sometimes I wasn’t sure whose perspective I was hearing. Other times I couldn’t tell when a poem started OR ended! Seriously?! No real pause or punctuation or change of voice to allow a listener to know when the narration diverges from reflection into a poem?! Or the dream sequences!

I think I liked the story but the confusion throws me off. I feel like some of it comes off quite flat, especially the characters. I kept expecting these grand insights into their behaviour and/or nuanced explanations for their actions— this never really developed.

Cool concept. I’m not convinced.

Might be better read than listened to

I truly loved the story and there is no better choice for performer. I purchased this title because it is performed by Nathan Fillion and was delighted at how "Mal Reynolds" the story is.

Well worth buying
