About this audiobook
Orphans of Deep Space
They're outlaws now. Created to serve a function grown obsolete, haunted by the holographic ghost of their father, Ubu and Maria have lived their entire lives skating along the edge of extinction. Now they and their ship Runaway are in flight both from the law and from a predatory clan of competitors. They're going to come back rich, or not at all.
But what they find in the depths of space isn't wealth, but a secret so startling that Ubu and Maria will need every last reserve of guile, cunning, and intelligence just to survive . . .

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A very creative work. A space drama without intergalactic warfare. Flows well, good characters you can root for.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The entire first act was a bit of a drag, but it picked up after that. Still, it's not one of Williams' best. The book is competently written, but the story is somewhat forgettable. There are a couple of completely screwed up pages, but luckily my copy came with an errata page. Hope yours did, too.
