À propos de cet audio

The Keiko is a ship of smugglers, soldiers of fortune and adventurers, travelling Earth's colony planets, searching for the next job. And nobody talks about their past.

But when a face from Captain Ichabod Drift's former life sends them on a run to Old Earth, all the rules change. Trust will be broken, and blood will be spilled.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Mike Brook's Dark Run is a rambunctious, rapidfire rollercoaster of a listen. Get signed up and strapped in for a helluva ride!" (Michael Cobley, author of the Humanity's Fire series)
" Dark Run is a thrill-ride of non-stop action, wise-crackery and adventure in the vast vaults of outer space. I look forward to revisiting Ichabod Drift and the crew of the Keiko time and again...." (Luke Scull)

It was enjoyable enough to make picking up the sequels an easy choice. The characters are compelling and well developed, there is a nice mix of action and humour, and it has that quality of being a personal contained story set against the backdrop of a much larger setting that the "Firefly" TV series does. I don't think this needs the Firefly comparison though. To me it stands on it's own and succeeds at being better and more interesting.
Things move at a pretty fast pace, so this was a good commuting listen. Overall it's about a group of people trying to escape their pasts, but within that each character feels distinct like they have their own voice. I appreciated that the story didn't end up being about saving the world or saving the galaxy. The smaller scale focus felt refreshing. Nothing stands out as being unique but I don't think it has to be. It feels like a bunch of familiar sci-fi tropes and elements were taken and combined in a satisfying way. Just go in recognizing that this is more of the action/adventure kind of science fiction and not the type with weighty reflections on various issues.

Damien Lynch does a great job reading it. The voices are easy to tell apart and it never feels like there is too much or too little emotion.

My understanding is the author sometimes is a target of internet trolls for including diverse characters in his work and things along those lines. I'm sure Dark Run won't be everyone's cup of tea because that's just how subjectivity works, but do take some of the negative reviews with that in mind though.

solid adventure sci-fi
