    About this audiobook

    "But the stars that marked our starting fall away. We must go deeper into greater pain, for it is not permitted that we stay."

    Dante Alighieri, Inferno, 1301 AD

    At the start of the 22nd century, the starship Acheron is in orbit around WISE 5571 only, unbeknownst to the crew, the ship has been overrun by telepathic extraterrestrials. How do you fight an enemy that distorts everything you see? What do you do when you can't trust your own senses, let alone anyone around you?

      I enjoyed this book with how engaging it is as the story unfolds. Also, The voice actor in this book just makes it that much better.
