Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

John Lee's narration is a standout feature of Pushing Ice. His calm, measured delivery is deceptive; it lulls you into a false sense of security, only to heighten the shock when the story takes a sudden, chilling turn. Reynolds' storytelling is as cold and hard as the ice that gives the book its title, with a plot that's as twisty as a comet's tail. The pacing is breakneck, and the production is flawless, with sound effects that truly bring the story to life. However, some listeners may find the sheer volume of scientific detail overwhelming at times. Despite this, Pushing Ice is a thrilling, white-knuckle ride that will leave you breathless.
