I’ve listened to this series more tines than I can count, since I discovered it. The story is calm like serene water. The narrators voice and pacing lend to the sense of calm. As retired military, this story is especially relatable. It remi ds me of my first time in a new country every time he puts in to port. The world building is exceptional, and reminds me of playing Traveller in my early twenties. It’s nice to have a scifi read where the human race isn’t being exterminated by aliens, itself, or a capricious universe. Thank you.
