Audio cut off

Unfortunately, the audio in the later stages is cut off a bit. It's still intelligible, but a bit annoying.

overrated

I didn't like this one.

Kovacs finds himself as a mercenary fighting a rebellion on a planet, but "defects" to a private expedition exploring a buried wormhole/jump door that leads to an alien spaceship somewhere hidden in the planets solar system.

As the military expert he recruits a small crew and off they go on a trip with a genre half military SF, half expedition to the unknown that never gets really running.

while the first novel told a somewhat credible story around the tough guy kovacs with a soft spot for his fellow humans, his passion for others is not comprehensive: while a town gets nuked passing by, because "its in the way " without any big explanation or feelings, he suddenly reminiscences with passion about his lost crew members in the end;- a passion which he didn't show until we finally learn about it.

overall the story has its length, both descriptions, fighting and sex scenes alike, so that it was hard to remember if there were actually really "hints" in the story that proofed the seemingly orchested revelations in the end.

not quite as good, but worth it

I mostly enjoyed this all the way. some very strange pronunciations of the speaker, though.
