When the over-driven hyperdrive on their mobile shipyard burned out, the Chhrt'ktk't abandoned it in an inhabited system along their path, hoping it would work as a decoy to buy them more time to escape the Khreetan fleet pursuing them. They didn't anticipate how far the pre-spacefaring species they turned over their broken-down maintenance facility to would subvert their plan.

Mitch's mediocre life has just taken a turn for the worse, so his buddy tries to cheer him up by showing him a secret starship. Unfortunately, everything goes south when hostile aliens arrive. In an effort to save his buddy and the starship from the aliens, Mitch does the obvious thing: he accidentally warps hundreds of light-years away.

fantastic premise and story but 0 details
the author has decent ability and has a good outline but the book reads more like a series summary that's been cut to pieces and instead of triming the fat he cut out all but a few poorly selected cuts, more details and zeroing in on the protagonist without making him seem like a anime protagonist. overall not a bad story but definitely needs work.
The narrator did a fantastic job with what he was given

Fun story.
The books starts out like it is written for a 12-14 year old, then it changes to a more mature audience. That may have been by design as the charter goes from a simple minded person to the "Chairman" of a global enterprise. I almost stopped listening after a few minutes but decided to hang in there and see if it got better and it did. I like the fast pace of the book that left out all the boring filler that is in most books. Non of the - it was a beautiful day with the birds flying overhead, the water flowed like a dream on a cool day yet I wondered...you get the idea. The minimalist style can appear to be childish but it moved the story along at a pace I enjoyed. The author defiantly writes with a low fog index, easy to listen to. The performance is a little monotone, an excitable monotone, too eager with no emotional shifts, always go go. The story is fun and entertaining. I liked it enough to try the next book.
