First off, the narrator read like he was in a hurry. I had to adjust speed to 0,9x to not have his brusque, rushed manner induce “in a hurry” type anxiety on the ears. Then it’s fine.

Second, there’s no plot. Apart from the intro, its a string of everyday stuff happening to normal characters as they engage in a ships economy, most of which is large scale “flipping”. It’s an entire book using characters and dialogue to describe an economy.

And that’s it. That’s all there is.

This was playing as background noise as I did home repair stuff which is the only reason I made it this far. 3/4 of the way through.
