Space salvage is no occupation for a proper 15-year-old girl. But Fura Ness, as demurely voiced by narrator Clare Corbett, is no ordinary teen…Thanks to Corbett’s vocal choices, listeners can hear this hardening in Fura. The chameleonlike Corbett also effectively voices Fura’s many diverse crewmates—from burly men to hardscrabble women…The enjoyable result is a layered star-spanning odyssey filled with drama, adventure, and, yes, revenge.”
