Book description
The silence after the victory cheers was the loudest sound of all. One moment, the Merry Band of Pirates were riding high-Operation Olympic a stunning success, the galaxy breathing easier. The next? A cold, metallic dread slammed into the ship's hull. Disaster. Not a setback, not a setback-but the utter, crushing failure that made every hard-won victory feel like a cruel joke. The fight was over. Unless... unless they could pull off a miracle without Skippy.
That's the gut-punch opening of Gateway, the eighteenth chapter in Craig Alanson's masterful Expeditionary Force saga, and it hits like a physical blow, especially through R.C. Bray's brilliant narration. You don't just read the panic; you feel it in your bones. Bray's voice drops, tightens, as the crew realizes the unthinkable: Skippy-their brilliant, chaotic, irreplaceable genius-is gone. Gone from the bridge, gone from the mission, gone from their lives. The air in the ship, the air in your ear as you listen, goes thin. You hear the ragged breaths, the choked whispers, the way Captain Kira's voice cracks when she orders the impossible: Find a way, or we're all dead anyway.
Bray doesn't just read the words; he becomes the ship. The frantic energy of the bridge comms, the low thrum of the engines now sounding like a dying heartbeat, the sheer, desperate weight of hope hanging by a thread-Bray pours it all into his performance. You're not just listening to a story; you're in the chaos, scrambling with the crew, every heartbeat pounding in time with the ship's failing systems. When a character finally offers a sliver of hope-a wild, dangerous plan-Bray's voice doesn't just deliver it; it ignites it. You lean in, breathless, because you know how fragile that hope is, how easily it could shatter like the rest.
This isn't just sci-fi; it's a human story stripped bare, played out against the vast, uncaring backdrop of space. Alanson's genius is making you care desperately about this ragtag crew-their humor, their loyalty, their shared history-so that losing Skippy isn't just a plot point; it's a wound. Bray's narration makes that wound feel real, raw. You hear the grief in the quiet moments between the shouts, the way a veteran engineer just stops talking, staring at an empty console where Skippy's hologram used to flicker.
And so, with the galaxy waiting in breathless, terrified silence, the Pirates are left holding a single, terrifying question: Can we be the miracle we need? Gateway doesn't just continue the saga-it throws you headfirst into its heart, where failure is real and hope is a gamble with no safety net. And with R.C. Bray's voice guiding you through every desperate beat, every whispered prayer, you'll be holding your breath right alongside them. The ride is terrifying, brilliant, and utterly unforgettable. Don't just listen to it-live it.
