Imperial Smuggler

Decline and Fall of the Galactic Empire, Book 2

De: Andrew Moriarty

Narrado por: Christopher Grove

The guilty flee, but everyone pursues.

Escaped Imperial officer Dirk doesn't care his crew are runaways, revolutionaries, and alleged criminals, as long as they're adequately competent and don't kill each other too often. When a smuggling job goes badly wrong and they improvise, he'll trade competency for just non-suicidal. If one crime causes problems, a second should fix it.

But after a botched heist lands them in the freezing woods of a frozen planet, they need a new plan. What's in those containers they stole? Who wants it that bad? How can they make money out of this? And what if his crew isn't as trustworthy as he thought? And why doesn't that dog like him?

If you like Galactic Empires, honorable enemies, and snappy dialog, this one's for you.

solid story, good performance

Loved the performance with great characters from which the slightly average story profits. Like other sci Fi series this lives from its characters, not what happens to them. The ending points in an interesting direction which makes me curious about the next book, given how meandering the plot was (lots of things happen but there is little agency) I would have stopped otherwise. Admittedly even in that case I would have been satisfied.

Great story

The story was excellent. The interaction between the crew was priceless. The reader was a little bland. But good enough so that I wouldn’t stop listening. I can’t wait for the next one to come out.

Even better than the first

These books are a riot! Full of adventure, intrigue and humor. The narrator is top notch and the action keeps moving, without the 30 minute space battle scenes one might expect with a cover like this.

Read it, you'll love it.

Good but….

I enjoyed the story. My biggest pet peeve was that continuously, any dialogue, even between two people would have A said, B said after every sentence, as the book went on, I noticed it less less. I don’t know if I just didn’t notice it, or if they stopped doing it.
