Historia
Charlie Travers figures his life can’t get much worse. He lives over a pizza restaurant, he’s lost his girlfriend, and has no prospects for a career. Then, he’s abducted by an alien robot and taken across the galaxy. When he wakes up, he finds himself stranded thousands of light-years away, and about to be killed by space pirates.

I don’t like the main character. He is dumb. That turned me off in chapter 3 or 4. Ch 1 had no foreshadowing to get me hooked. By the time the big action happens, the descriptions fell short. The author has done much better with other books. Try the Dimension series, slow but great!

A bunch of good stories about great planes
Revisado: 11-05-24
A bunch of good stories about great planes. Of course the characters and the stories are what you listen to one of these insider books for. I enjoyed it.

Historia
My name is Kazimir Wolfe. People call me "Kaz", except they don’t. I never use my real name; it’s too dangerous, for me and for anyone I meet. I’m on the run from the law, who think I killed my aunt, and from whoever did kill her, because they want to finish the job. So, I move around a lot, working construction or whatever job I can find. It’s a lonely life. I don’t let anyone get close...people who get close to me end up dead. Why? I’m a wizard. The world’s only wizard, as far as I know.

I was skeptical, bought it and loved it
Revisado: 10-09-24
First, I don’t like stories with magic, but that is my preference, nothing to do with this book, so I ignored it for years. BIG MISTAKE, it is good, if you like fun character interaction. The characters are relatable and a joy to hear banter. This is not action-packed, but it has the tension of getting caught, like a heist. There IS direct action and it is good. It is just that the characters and the plot are great, so I don’t need to have an explosion every 10 min to keep my attention. I like it and immediately spent money on the next in the series… I put my money where my recommendation mouth is. It is good.

A fun and warm story, I enjoyed it
Revisado: 03-09-24
A fun and warm story, I enjoyed it because the firs book was like a scavenger hunt with a twist and fun characters. The second book was had great characters that grew with a bit of mystery and adventure toward the end. Joy and fun without things needing to blow up every 5 minutes.

It was a fun little story
Revisado: 01-14-24
If you like the sarcastic way cats are, that brings an extra smile to this story. It was enjoyable and several space-actions happen, but I didn’t find that it was a most-read “page turner” of nonstop action. Instead it was good and pleasant and intriguing and fun. If you wan fun this is good. If you want super drama and epic fight scenes, it is not that, if is more of a warm fireplace in the winter book.

Surprisingly fun and interesting plot and mystery
Revisado: 11-13-23
Surprisingly fun and interesting plot and mystery. I was not so sure about this but it gained speed and intrigue after just a chapter or two and got even more thoughtful. I recommend it. Week thought out.

Historia
As a professional finder, Fergus Ferguson is hired to locate missing objects and steal them back. But it is rarely so simple, especially after his latest job in Cernee. He’s been recovering from that experience in the company of friends, the Shipmakers of Pluto, experts at crafting top-of-the-line AI spaceships. The Shipmakers have convinced Fergus to finally deal with unfinished business he’s been avoiding for half his life: Earth. Fergus hasn’t been back to his homeworld since he was 15, when he stole his cousin’s motorcycle and ran away.

A really good story, mystery and characters. The characters were believable, the plot line moved nicely for a good listen and the big reveals we’re not contrived, they were genuine. I enjoyed this story.

The lines. No ship can traverse the void without them. Only linesmen can work with them. But only Ean Lambert hears their song. And everyone thinks he's crazy.... Most slum kids never go far, certainly not becoming a level 10 linesman like Ean. Even if he's part of a small and unethical cartel, and the other linesmen disdain his self-taught methods, he's certified and working. Then a mysterious alien ship is discovered at the edges of the galaxy.

Slow and dreamy. Not bad, but just more detail than action. I prefer action. Good writing, just not for me.

Historia
Jordan McKell has a problem with authority. Unfortunately for him, the iron-fisted authority of the powerful Patthaaunutth controls virtually every aspect of galactic shipping. In order to survive, Jordan ekes out a living dabbling in interstellar smuggling for outlaw concerns that represent the last vestiges of free trade in the galaxy. So when Jordan and his partner, Ixil - an alien with two ferret-like "outhunters" linked to his neural system - are hired by a mysterious gentleman to fly a ship and its special cargo to Earth, they jump at the job.

A great story! A who-done-it space opera
Revisado: 05-16-23
A great story! A who-done-it space opera.
I hesitated getting this book when other reviewers talked about the reader “yelling”. NOT an issue. It was just the reader acting out the character’s feelings. It was perfect fitting IMHO. The mystery was good the action came in the waves that I appreciated and the character’s motivations felt real. The plot was in no way predictable and keeper me interested. Jolly good.
