Ten Low

By: Stark Holborn

Narrated by: Nicol Zanzarella

Firefly meets Dune in a breakneck race to escape across an alien moon thriving with aliens and criminals.

Ten Low is an ex-army medic, one of many convicts eking out a living at the universe’s edge. She’s desperate to escape her memories of the interstellar war, and the crimes she committed, but trouble seems to follow wherever she goes. One night, attempting to atone for her sins, she pulls a teenage girl - the sole survivor - from the wreck of a spaceship. But Gabriella Ortiz is no ordinary girl. The result of a military genetics program, she is a decorated army general, from the opposing side of the war to Ten. Worse, Ten realizes the crash was an assassination attempt, and that someone wants the Ortiz dead....

The pair bury their hatreds and strike an uneasy deal to smuggle the general off-world. Their road won’t be easy: They must cross the moon’s lawless wastes, facing military hit-squads, bandits, and the one-eyed leader of an all-female road-gang, in a frantic race to get the general to safety. But something else waits in the darkness at the universe’s edge. Something that threatens to reveal Ten’s worst nightmare: the truth of who she really is and what she is running from.

Damn good story

Mad Max, the Wild West, and space travel all mashed together into a damn good story. I’d thoroughly recommend this book for you to enjoy.

Sci-fi

A strange, religious science fiction story. A good reading that would have been better with multiple actors.

Outstanding story and production

Think Firefly, but much darker, deeper, and richer. A fantasy western with mythic overtones. Fabulous tale in every sense of the word, and the narration really enhanced the mood of the story. I hope we hear more from Ten Lo, Gabi, Falco—and the mysterious seekers—soon.

Best audible plus sci-fi book I have heard

It goes away at the end of the year for now. It is one of the best audible plus books I have listen too. Wild West for the space frontier is a great description.

Engrossing

Had me from the start and didn’t let go.
The kind of epic sci-fi story that usually centers around a lead male character. I love the choices the author made in assembling this cast of characters.

Nicol Zanzarella was superb in her narration.
An excellent listen.
