Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas

As a fan of the Murderbot Diaries, I was thrilled to dive back into this world with 'Platform Decay'. Kevin R. Free's narration is spot-on, perfectly capturing Murderbot's deadpan humor and occasional moments of vulnerability. The story moves at a steady pace, with a good balance of action and character development. However, I found the climax slightly rushed, and I wish Wells had spent a bit more time exploring the consequences of the final showdown. Despite this, the audiobook is an engaging listen, with a compelling story and excellent narration. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a punchy, action-packed science fiction adventure.
