Just finished reading
The Tomorrow Log, by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, read by Kevin T. Collins.
An excellent book, very much enjoyed, and well read by Mr. Collins. The book is by the authors of Liaden Universe series of novels and stories, though it isn't specifically a Liaden novel. Definitely space opera, and the universe _could_ be the same, but nothing specifically Liaden in it.
Protagonist is Gem ser'Edreth, a thief and electronics wizard who was sold as a child by his ship to a grounder, master thief Edreth. Now his ship has sent Corbyne Faztherot to reclaim him to the ship as the Captain pre-ordained in the Tomorrow Log. But meanwhile he's caught up in the machinations of the local druglord, Sazony Belaconto, and has been "Chosen" by the Trident, a semi-sentient artifact, complete with its very own Witness.
As with any book by Lee & Miller, this is extremely well written and a delight that I couldn't put down after I started. Kevin T. Collins redeems himself with this reading which I found excellent and perfectly paced. (His reading of
Trade Secret was less successful and felt rushed, but that's the only off one I've had from him.)
Highly recommended.
