Review:
The salvage crew with an interesting science fiction novel. The protagonist, a digitised human is leading a salvage crew on an uninhabited planet for his second expedition. His team, which consists of Simon, an inexperienced young man, Anna, a girl who is running away from her real identity and Milo, cannot considered the perfect crew, not even a good one.
They arrive on a distant planet to salvage an abandoned UN starship. But when they land on the planet Urmahon Beta, they encounter something they never expected. The supposedly uninhabited planet is not at all what it was supposed to be. It is covered with dangerous megafauna and terrifying high-powered gear. Now, they have to encounter with their nightmare, they must save themselves while secrets that terrify humankind unfolds in front of them.
The protagonist is really interesting character, I likes his backstory as well. The characters are well developed in this book. The readers will be fascinated by the technology and society developed in the story.
I am giving this book 3.5 stars because I felt that the story did not get to me until the second last part of the book. While listening to this audiobook, I lost interest after chapter 10. But I had to get through the book. This book is perfect for the sci-fi lovers as well as space enthusiasts.
