About This Audiobook

Delvers LLC isn’t your average corporate team—they’re a ragtag band of misfits hired to explore the unknown, and in *Hostile Takeover*, they’ve bitten off way more than they can chew. This time, Dolos, the god of Ludus, drops a bombshell quest in their laps: uncover Earth’s buried secrets before a rival faction does. It’s a high-stakes scavenger hunt through time, alien tech, and corporate espionage, where the real treasure isn’t gold—it’s knowledge that could rewrite history itself. Corvin’s world-building shines here, blending hard sci-fi grit with mythic intrigue, all wrapped in a plot that twists like a pretzel. If you crave audiobooks that make you feel like you’re strapped into a spaceship’s cockpit with a crew of overcaffeinated geniuses, this is your ride.

The narration trio—Jeff Hays, Dorrie Sacks, and Annie Ellicott—turns this chaotic adventure into a full-cast experience that’s equal parts immersive and hilarious. Hays anchors the squad with a grizzled, sarcastic charm, while Sacks and Ellicott nail the high-energy banter and sudden emotional gut-punches. Their chemistry sells the absurdity of the stakes, especially when the team’s bickering feels as life-or-death as their mission. Unique production choices, like the way sound design mimics alien tech whirs or the subtle shifts in tone for flashbacks, elevate this beyond a standard first-contact tale into something you’ll want to blast in the car—or rewatch on loop.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I went into *Hostile Takeover* expecting a fun, pulpy sci-fi romp, and I left pleasantly shocked by how much depth Corvin crams into a corporate-melodrama-with-alien-overtones plot. The pacing is relentless; even the exposition-heavy stretches feel earned because the stakes are so high. The crew’s dynamic—think *Ocean’s Eleven* meets *The Expanse*—makes their bickering feel purposeful, not lazy. My only beef? Dolos, the god pulling the strings, borders on *too* whimsical for a story otherwise grounded in hard(ish) sci-fi logic. A few more hints about his motives would’ve made his demands hit harder. Hays carries the audiobook like a seasoned pro—his raspy, no-BS delivery is perfect for the team’s wisecracking leader, and he sells the absurdity without ever winking at the audience. Sacks and Ellicott steal scenes together, especially in fast-paced dialogue exchanges where their timing feels like a live comedy sketch. The production team deserves kudos for the immersive sound design; the alien tech hums like a living thing, and the sudden silence before a major reveal is *chef’s kiss*. That said, the audio levels dip slightly in quieter scenes, and a couple of the cast’s accents (while fun) waver between charming and distracting. But between the razor-sharp world-building and the voice acting that feels like a blockbuster cast, these minor quibbles fade fast. If you love sci-fi that’s equal parts brainy and bombastic, this audiobook is a must-listen.
