About this listen
Meet Doctor Jens.
She hasn't had a decent cup of coffee in fifteen years.
The first part of her job involves jumping out of perfectly good space-ships. The second part requires developing emergency treatments for sick aliens of species she's never seen before.
She loves it.
But her latest emergency is also proving a mystery:
Two ships, one ancient and one new, locked in a dangerous embrace.
A mysterious crew suffering from an even more mysterious ailment.
A shipmind trapped in an inadequate body, much of her memory pared away.
A murderous virus from out of time.
Unfortunately, Dr. Jens can't resist a mystery. Which is why she's about to discover that everything she's dedicated her life to...is a lie.

moving and forward thinking
Elizabeth Bear raised many critical issues throughout the narrative of this book. I very much look forward to their future works.

Wonderfully old fashioned
A plot that’s heavy in exposition but you won’t care as it’s so well done.
Like Ancestral Night, this kicks off with a BDO that does not stay mysterious for long before going off at a tangent.
Narration was well done.

Intelligent and humorous
It’s a pleasure to read a book that is both funny and at the same time doesn’t treat the reader as a lemming that will gladly read whatever social media dictates, i enjoyed the characters immensely and I have to say the narrator was first class, she really brought to life the story for me, my only caveat being that I felt the authors politicising of the latter section of the book left me cringing

Refreshing Scifi story of a space-EMT
This story works because of decent characters, great world building and a good space-mistery!
What I find very interesting is how the internal monologue of the MC is wildly different from what I would've expected, but I respect it as is.
