About this listen
From the Edge of Apocalypse:
Deception Well is a world on the edge, home to an isolated remnant surviving at the farthest reach of human expansion. All across the frontier, other worlds have succumbed to the relentless attacks of robotic alien warships, while hundreds of light years away, the core of human civilization - those star systems closest to Earth, known as the Hallowed Vasties - have all fallen to ruins. Powerful telescopes can see only dust and debris where once there were orbital mega-structures so huge they eclipsed the light of their parent stars
No one knows for sure what caused the Hallowed Vasties to fail, but a hardened adventurer named Urban intends to find out. He has the resources to do it. He commands a captive alien starship fully capable of facing the dangers that lie beyond Deception Well.
With a ship's company of explorers and scientists, Urban is embarking on a voyage of rediscovery. They will be the first in centuries to confront the hazards of an inverted frontier as they venture back along the path of human migration. Their goal: to unravel the mystery of the Hallowed Vasties and to discover what monstrous life might have grown up among the ruins.

Great story great narration
I have no complaints about any thing regarding this audiobook in my mind, It was very good. It’s the first work I have read by this author I’ve never heard of her before this book definitely going to look for more.
I also want to say that the narration was top-notch. One thing I’ve noticed in this genre is the tendency for male readers to downplay the quality of female narrators.

Pacey and interesting story!
Once you get past the AI voice narration this is a very compelling story. Depth, intrigue and characters to match

Did not really do it for me
I normally enjoy large-scale, hard sci-fi and space opera, and this one had some interesting twists and concept for sure, but somehow it did not capture me. Maybe the characters were a bit shallow. Maybe the story was a little one-dimensional. Maybe the narration was a tad monotonous. Or maybe I did it an unjustice by listening to it immediately after listening to one of the grand masters of the genre. My recommendation: Give it a go, maybe it is for you!

well written
Good story, though ending of main protagonist was a bit abrupt and left me feeling a bit underwhelmed

Ok but not great.
There are worse and there are definitely better.
Overall it did bet me hooked and there is much to go on about but I do not think I will go for the next book.
It is a space opera in a post-apocalyptic setteig, after humans expanded and faced a aggressive alien vioship fleet they go looking for what remained at the core. It feels more like book 2 or 3 in a series.

Interesting story, robotic performance
An interesting world of uploadable personalities, space travel and lost civilisation. Gripping narrative but the performance is like a robot, which definitely detracts unfortunately.

Decent story. OK performance
The narration was decent but at times flat, and often too fast. 'Cache' as in memory cache, is not pronounced as 'cachet'. Expedition was another word the reader kept saying in an unusual way.
The story feels like a good space opera. A world on the edge of known space,. Hiding from berserker style machine intelligences who are determined to destroy organic civilisations. Behind the borders, something has happened to the Human origin worlds.
But I just had a hard job keeping my interest and after listening to chapter six I just gave up.
