About this audiobook

Lieutenant Cora Harper joined the Systems Alliance to develop and enhance her powerful biotic talents. She was assigned to the asari commando unit Talein’s Daughters, where she honed her abilities to become a skilled and deadly huntress.

Returning to Earth, Cora finds herself a stranger among other humans, and joins the Andromeda Initiative as Alec Ryder’s second-in-command. The mission will send 100,000 colonists on a one-way, 600-year-long journey into the unknown. When essential—and dangerous—tech is stolen, Cora is assigned to recover it before it can be used against the Initiative, and end the mission before it can begin.

Ratings and reviews

Cora was the first romance option I made in the game, and outside of pieces we learn about her back story that we get from dialogue as well as her "loyalty mission" it was nice to get a more full picture of her as a character.

a surprisingly good read which provides great backstory for some very important characters. loved it.

a good story that explores several Andromeda characters that really needed it.
