Summary

From the author of the “Magic 2.0” series comes an outer space caper where it’s the thief who’s having something stolen from her - her life.

It is the distant future, and Baird is a loner, a part time spy, and a notorious alleged thief. “Notorious” for the audacity of her crimes; “alleged” because nobody has ever been able to legally prove she committed any of them.

When the hush-hush agency known as the Toolbox recruits Baird, being a clandestine operative seems like a great way to get paid to do what she already does anyway. That is, until a mission goes wrong, and Baird is infected with a deadly virus. With only seven days to live, Baird has to complete a series of daring missions, each one designed to bring her closer to a cure.

Allegedly.

Baird suspects the Toolbox might not be telling her the whole truth. She's not sure what to believe or who to trust.

And the clock is ticking.

loved the characters and the quirky world building - an immersive, light, funny romp with enough twists and complexity to carry suspense.

rip roaring caper

It isn't great either. You don't have to look to hard to see the gags coming a mile off. The twists and turns mildly meander through the plot to a predictable outcome.
Overall, the storyline had more potential than it achieved. The narration was flat and I really don't know if that was due to the material or the performer. So, my Performance and Story scores could be flipped. It is a bit of an oversell to call this a romp, but it is fair to say it doesn't lose it's pace and it keeps you hooked to its inevitable end.

It's not dreadful

The story is quite nice but the narrator sooooo doesn't fit to it. I have some 200+ audiobooks in my library and this is the first time I was really bothered by the choice of the narrator. It should have been someone funny, young and cool sounding like the main character.

Story flows nicely, narrator doesn't fit at all
