Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I was thoroughly engrossed in The Rise of Oshbob from start to finish, and the narration played a big part in that. Stephanie Németh-Parker and Neil Hellegers have a great dynamic, and their performances brought the characters to life in a way that felt authentic and immersive. The story itself is full of twists and turns, with a pacing that's both relentless and well-balanced. One of the things that really stood out to me was the way the novel explores themes of prejudice and oppression, and how it uses the science fiction setting to comment on real-world issues. If I have any criticisms, it's that some of the supporting characters felt a bit one-dimensional at times, and the ending felt a bit rushed. However, these are minor quibbles in what is otherwise a compelling and thought-provoking listen. Overall, I'd highly recommend The Rise of Oshbob to fans of cyberpunk and science fiction.
