Vic follows a simple code of life—when stuck between certain death and certain death, always chose a third option. Ready to renounce his criminal ways, Vic needs to pull one last heist—transporting a rare and valuable albino friklar across a short section of space without detection. Easy money. However, when the animal escapes on a primitive planet called Earth, Vic must either settle accounts with his boss—ruthless Axle Prim—or endure his wrath.

Coen Brothers in space
Revisado: 08-06-24
The book follows the misadventures of reluctant cohorts as they "quantum stumble" their way across the galaxy. They encounter one quirky character after another and the situations they find themselves in are alien (literally) but all too familiar.
The writing is tight and the dialogue is snappy. It reads like a fully developed Coen Brothers screenplay... if they did sci-fi.
The performance is as good or better than any I've heard on Audible. There are so many different characters in the book and the narrator does an excellent job of giving them each their own personality so it's always clear who is speaking, even in group conversations.
Highly recommend

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Hail Mary Ffffuuull of Grace
Revisado: 08-14-21
I enjoyed this very much for the most part. I was pretty enthralled with the story and there were several plot points that will stick with me. There were certain sections that had me sitting in my car or stalling whatever I was supposed to be doing to listen.
I haven't consumed a ton of Sci-Fi but I do enjoy learning about space travel, physics, and matters of relativity. I'm not especially smart in any of those areas so I didn't find this dumbed down like others have said.
And at first, I was totally engrossed in the performance. I thought the tone was fitting for a person trying to figure out how they found themselves in such a strange predicament. Then, it kept going even when it was completely INappropriate. Then it started to get grating and I honestly couldn't wait for it just to end.
There's just this constant tone of sarcasm/facetiousness and over emphasis of words. It's like listening to a YouTube personality for 16hrs (think Hank Greene, Adam Ragusea, etc). I get that he wants to add some humor (and I did laugh out loud plenty), but at a certain point it was like hanging out with someone who just says "NOT" and "That's what she said" all the time.
That said, the different voices, even the accents and female voices, were pretty flawless. I'd be interested to here Ray Porter on another title with a different author.
