Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Nick Sullivan's narration is the standout feature of this audiobook. His ability to convey urgency and emotion elevates the narrative, making each character's struggle profoundly real. The story's pacing, while occasionally meanders into dense exposition, maintains an overall momentum that keeps listeners engaged. Dark Matter excels in exploring the moral complexities of war, particularly through the compelling relationship between protagonist Jack Harper and his alien counterpart. However, the heavy reliance on technical jargon can be a hurdle for some, potentially detracting from the otherwise immersive experience.
