The Salvage Crew

They thought this was just another salvage job. They thought wrong. An AI overseer and a human crew arrive on a distant planet to salvage an ancient UN starship. The overseer is unhappy. The crew, well, they're certainly no A-team. Not even a C-team on the best of days. And worse? Urmahon Beta, the planet, is at the ass-end of nowhere. Everybody expects this to be a long, ugly, and thankless job. Then it all goes disastrously wrong. What they thought was an uninhabited backwater turns out to be anything but empty. Megafauna roam the land, a rival crew with some terrifyingly high-powered gear haunts the dig site, and a secret that will change humanity forever is waiting in the darkness. Stuck on this unmapped, hostile planet, lacking resources, and with tech built by the cheapest bidder, the salvage crew must engineer their way to payday...and beat Urmahon Beta before it kills them all. Experience this space exploration adventure told from the perspective of a snarky artificial intelligence you won't soon forget. It's perfect for fans of The Martian, Red Dwarf, Firefly, and We Are Legion (We Are Bob).

Beaufort wasn't in the mood to cooperate with taking a test pic for my new Litsy account, but The Salvage Crew is an awesome science fiction adventure story.

This was a surprising one honestly. I think I picked this up on sale through Audible, didn't know what to expect going into it. Was a genuinely surprising read.

Halfway-ish through April checkin via #bookspinbingo:
Favorite books were tagged (20) and pet sematary (#booked2021 feat a Dr, 8). Salvage crew was an interesting perspective on the question of why we haven't come in contact with alien life and A.I., written by a Sri Lankan. I enjoy seeing what people from other countries do with scifi! Always thought provoking. Other books read listed in comments ⬇️

Larkken Also enjoyed: Bone Fire (1), Clap when you Land (#ReadHarder YA not about Black pain, 10), and Lost in the Never Woods (11). I enjoyed the beginning of Black Buck (16), but found it a bit heavy handed at the end. 4y

ARRRRRGH!!! 😡 I waited MONTHS before I gave up and burned that last Audible credit!! *shakes fist at sky* SERIOUSLY AUDIBLE!?!?!? 😡 Meh! It‘s a good deal if you like Nathan Fillion, sci-fi, bit of horror, bit of a snarky A.I.. 🖤😁😆🤗

Prairiegirl_reading This happens to me all the time!! 😕 4y
MsMelissa I have this issue with e-books. I‘ll go and buy the paper version only to see the e-version on sale a few days later 😡 4y
Twainy @Prairiegirl_reading & @MsMelissa I‘m still laughing & almost annoyed being reminded of this 😆 I feel like they should warn you or have a rule, this book won‘t go on sale until it‘s a year old or something. I wouldn‘t return the audiobook for my credit back but it‘s a good reminder for me to only purchase new books with credits LOL oh man Kindle is the worst with their constant random sales 😫 I no longer buy paperbacks 😖 4y

🎧 This was my new last Audible credit.

“Crafted for sci-fi fans of The Martian, Red Dwarf, and We Are Legion (We Are Bob).”

OK they had me at Nathan Fillion! This has been on my radar since it first showed up on the Audible site.

Call-backs to old school sci-fi.

I like Fillion‘s voice. A plus.

An AI overseer & the humans in his charge salvaging on an unmapped & unexpectedly dangerous world.

I‘m listening to it again 😁💕🖤 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️3/4

I listened to this via #NetGalley, and to me it was just too slow, depressing and repetitive. The best part of the experience was Nathan Fillion as narrator. He was very animated, will look for more with his voice. My second hard sci fi that I disliked in 2020.
