I was a little confused by this one, which is the only reason it got three stars instead of four. The prose was interesting and well written, and the pacing for such a short novella was fantastic. The concept was brilliant and mostly well executed, but I got a little lost in the middle before it picked up at the end. I think perhaps this one is better read than listened to, but still a very good story indeed.
