I listened to a previous book "The Girl in the Moon" and rated it "3-stars". This one is worse. I tried to force myself to listen to the entire thing, but the constant droning on about his societal beliefs just ruined the story. There is one section where I swear the characters have a conversation about this topic for an hour. I found myself fast forwarding through it, just to get it to end. I understand he is a fan of Ayn Rand, which explains his beliefs, but really? The premise of the book was entertaining, and when he kept to the action and the story, it was good - which is why I gave him 2-stars. Unfortunately, the side trail he went down ruined the story. This book was the prequel to "The Girl in the Moon", so I had hoped he had not developed the method of story telling yet that ruined that book. Get away from the boring and silly pontificating and you have a chance at a really good series.
