“MacLeod Andrews proves to be the perfect narrator for this delightful satire of the space-exploration novel. His deep, commanding voice resonates well, particularly when voicing Sawback. He also develops distinct personalities for the whole crew and knows how to sound engaging when recounting the action, adventure, and romance. Beyond making the narrative exciting, Andrews enhances the characters by providing the occasional vocal wink with his comedic timing and tongue-in-cheek tone.”
