The world building here is excellent. A lot of the pitfalls of other similar stories are avoided. just when you think the story might slip into something rote Scott Barron neatly side steps and brings you somewhere new. There are a lot of characters that I have ended up caring about and I certainly want to know what happens to Charlie next. A few foreshadowed events are greatly anticipated in further books.
Gary Bennett delivers a subtle performance that, like Scott’s writing, becomes more engrossing the more time you spend listening.
Overall it is highly recommended.
