From the Edge of Apocalypse:
Deception Well is a world on the edge, home to an isolated remnant surviving at the farthest reach of human expansion. All across the frontier, other worlds have succumbed to the relentless attacks of robotic alien warships, while hundreds of light years away, the core of human civilization - those star systems closest to Earth, known as the Hallowed Vasties - have all fallen to ruins. Powerful telescopes can see only dust and debris where once there were orbital mega-structures so huge they eclipsed the light of their parent stars
No one knows for sure what caused the Hallowed Vasties to fail, but a hardened adventurer named Urban intends to find out. He has the resources to do it. He commands a captive alien starship fully capable of facing the dangers that lie beyond Deception Well.
With a ship's company of explorers and scientists, Urban is embarking on a voyage of rediscovery. They will be the first in centuries to confront the hazards of an inverted frontier as they venture back along the path of human migration. Their goal: to unravel the mystery of the Hallowed Vasties and to discover what monstrous life might have grown up among the ruins.

At least I found it extraordinary in extrapolating transhumanism concepts of digital ghosts like depicted in Ghost in the Shell or Altered Carbon (and related books).
It might be a hard read as it requires some brain work but once comprehended it takes you on a wild ride with a good tension and some tremendous action. No signs of lazy writing and pay check job.
As the immediate conflict is resolved the story remains to be completed in the following books. So might be a minus if you don't like series. I'm looking forward to the next one, though.
Regarding the speaker: Nicole Poole did an amazing job here. As non-native english speaker I found her easy to understand.
Challenging and modern Sci-Fi
