I fell in love with this story faster than Yellow Eyes can fetch knives and I wish I had listened to the other Roak books first.
The dialog is snappy, the characters are sarcastic, and poor Roak can’t catch a break.
In this installment of Roak’s story, we find the eponymous bounty hunter searching for an old friend so he can finally equip his ship and settle things with Father. Along for the ride is his sister Reck (sp?), Bishop and Yellow Eyes. And despite being the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy, Roak’s fortunes seem to go from the frying pan into the fire on a regular basis.
I am going to have to go back and listen to the other books in this series now, I liked it that much.
As far as the narrator, I’ve listed to several titles voiced by Wehrlen and I’ve enjoyed each one. He has a great sarcastic delivery that lends itself well to Bible’s characters.
My only complaint is that Bible really loves to leave his characters in precarious situations at the end of his books like he’s writing a TV serial and it’s the end of the season. And this is no exception.
So, if you like non-stop action, witty dialog and infinite amounts of sarcasm, give this book a try. Oh, and have I mentioned that Yellow Eyes is the best character ever? No really, I love the clueless, gangly yellow dude.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
