Glass Ceiling

About This Audiobook

It’s 2187, and Karen Drayson is the kind of pilot who makes admirals nervous—not just because she’s a tactical prodigy, but because she’s a woman who refuses to apologize for outshining her male peers. When the brass ships her off to the remote *Pegasus* station for ‘reassignment,’ it’s framed as punishment. But Karen knows the truth: the Terran military doesn’t know what to do with a star like her. *Glass Ceiling* isn’t just a space opera; it’s a molten-core critique of institutional sexism wrapped in a high-octane sci-fi adventure. Ellis delivers a protagonist who’s equal parts razor-sharp and emotionally raw, her rage and ambition fueling a story that crackles with authenticity. The worldbuilding is tight—think grounded military tech with a twist of near-future extrapolation—but the real kicker is the way Karen’s personal battle against the ‘glass ceiling’ of her society mirrors the literal ceiling of the stars above her. This isn’t a tale where women are ‘allowed’ to shine; it’s about smashing the damn ceiling to bits. The narration by Virtual Voice is a standout, blending crisp military precision with Karen’s simmering intensity, making every line feel like it’s delivered through gritted teeth or a smirk.
