About this audiobook

In a space-faring future, janitorial engineer Casey Cassandra spends her days fixing robots on an ambassador’s spaceship.

But when one of her robotic cleaning cubes happens to be in the wrong place at the right time, Casey overhears an ominous threat.

Someone is plotting to kill the ambassador, and that someone is a traitor within their own fleet.

Armed only with a hefty cleaning cube (named Charles) and her eccentric engineering knowledge, Casey must go against all fleet standards. She’ll have to risk her life to warn her boss, Ambassador Dessian Tandor, that he’s in imminent danger — from his own people.

But will anyone believe her?

It’s just one command between life and death, and somehow the ship’s janitor has found herself at the helm of a universe-wide conspiracy plot.

Narrated by Gill Mills, a former BBC broadcaster and journalist with over two decades of experience in the entertainment field. With a warm and resonant voice, Gill operates from her studio in East London. Gill has performed for TV programs across Channel 4, BBC, and ITV — as well as narrating an extensive catalog of over 130 fiction and non-fiction titles.

This one was a really interesting twist on sci-fi that I've never seen done before. It still had high stakes and kept me on the edge of my seat, but the main characters were not at all the ones you'd expect to be followed. This could have been a negative and made the book drab, but it did the opposite. We're presented with a whole new outlook, mainly through the Casey, that will leave you wondering why not sci-fi books haven't taken the underdog that seemingly shouldn't be a part of it.

This was my first experience with this author's work, and it won't be my last. The genre was strictly science fiction, and I enjoyed the book a lot. I liked that Casey, Dessian, and the pilot were thrown together by circumstances which melded them together when the three were branded as criminals. I was entertained by all the twists and the political machinations which kept my attention riveted. I thought Gill Mills' narration was great, and her performance enhanced my enjoyment of the story.
