Summary

Leo Graf was just your average highly efficient engineer: mind your own business, fix what's wrong, and move on to the next job. But all that changed on his assignment to the Cay Habitat, where a group of humanoids had been secretly, commercially bioengineered for working in free fall.

Could he just stand there and allow the exploitation of hundreds of helpless children merely to enhance the bottom line of a heartless mega-corporation?

He hadn't anticipated a situation where the right thing to do was neither safe, nor in the rules. Leo adopted a thousand quaddies. Now all he had to do was teach them to be free.

This was good entertainment. Great insight into life without gravity & the ethics of gene manipulation!

Enjoyed this - good performance

The narration was rather dull and flat although the story was interesting. I suppose it's an older book and thus doesn't have the same production value as other titles on audible.

Great book but mediocre narration

if you don't know these books run and get them. pure joy. having read them several times I am now enjoying them as audio and delighting again. I was not sure about the narrator because having read a book I have a version of people in my own imagination, but the narrator was so good I found him totally compelling.

superb

Starts out on a very good premise, but the second part is very underwhelming. Everything just falls into place in a most unlikely fashion.
