Aging and outdated, most of the ships plummeted back to Earth long ago. The only thing keeping the two surviving lifeboats in the sky are Hell Divers - men and women who risk their lives by skydiving to the surface to scavenge for parts the ships desperately need.

The war raged across the galaxy. Billions had died, billions more were doomed. Moons, planets, the very stars themselves, faced destruction, cold-blooded, brutal, and worse, random. The Idirans fought for their Faith; the Culture for its moral right to exist. Principles were at stake. There could be no surrender. Within the cosmic conflict, an individual crusade. Deep within a fabled labyrinth on a barren world, a Planet of the Dead proscribed to mortals, lay a fugitive Mind. Both the Culture and the Idirans sought it....

Editorial reviews
On the third leg of the preeminent Robot Races, Jimmy Roberts and his peer competitors find themselves surrounded by hundreds of miles of ice and snow. The landscape is totally different from those that Axel Lewis created in the previous books in the series - a canyon and a jungle - and Jimmy has a lot to contend with besides the new race course. But he is grateful for the chance to compete in the children's version of Robot Races, and he feels up to this Arctic Adventure.
Joe Jameson performs this science fiction drama for kids with a zeal befitting Jimmy himself. Idiosyncratic characters like Lord Leadpipe, the bully Horace, and Princess Kako are clearly delineated in Jameson's encyclopedic repertoire of voices.

It's because his mum has enrolled him at a school for superheroes by mistake. And unlike his fellow students Murph has no special abilities whatsoever.

I’m too old for this
Who flies a bunch of kids to the back of beyond without parents? I checked this out with an audible package. It’s simplistic stories like this that led child me to wildly underestimate the work & planning upfront that experts do before any expedition or contest. Magically self repairing robots may be fun but they didn’t make any sense to me. And did no one have to use the bathroom before heading out?
The morality tale of “don’t leave people to die”was heavy handed and lacking nuance. Meanwhile, I didn’t get why Cabbie disregarded Lightning as a competitor when that team had the best start & high standing. Why did Jimmy have such disdain for his sponsor? That wasn’t right.
I think kids might like this story more than I did.
Narration: Very well done with clear & distinct voicing, varied for each character.
