Summary

Enter a galaxy full of snarky comebacks and inappropriate use of tentacles in this fast-paced, action-packed space romp.  

The Neon Octopus Overlord has been challenged. Their galaxy will never be the same. Kirian, the mythological warrior agent known as the Destroyer of Planets, wants out of her contract. That's a problem since she's currently in the Neon Octopus Overlord's elite, secret Celestial Force against her will. 

In a desperate attempt to regain her freedom, Kirian defies her tentacled boss and secretly saves Ari, the human she is sent to kill. Ari is an underappreciated civil servant targeted for her intelligence. She turns out to be one of the few beings left in the galaxy capable of thwarting the Overlord's corrupt plans. She just wants to go back to a normal life, but when the Overlord finds out that she's not dead, all bets are off and she'll have to fight to survive.  

Can Ari and Kirian, aided by a few shady friends and a wannabe rock star, find a way to stay alive long enough to put a dent in the evil Neon Octopus Overlord's plans?

Crazy science-fiction.


First of three series.

An Octopus as a destroyer
of worlds is a new one to me !
The destroyer of planet’s
Is no joke !
What’s the true reason for
destroying all those worlds ?
Or is
the whole thing is one big
Conspiracy ?
L. A. Johnson absolutely crazy imagination is totally great, I can’t wait for the rest of the series getting released in audio because the truth is that no matter what you hear you really don’t know what’s really going on, I’m totally confused but I love it.

Sandra Murphy have narrated every character perfectly.

Recommended !

Enjoyable listen

With the title of this book and the name of the series tending towards the whacky, I was a little dubious about this book even though the premise seemed like an interesting one, luckily this just seems like it was a case of the author being a little heavy-handed with the title as they delivered a solid scifi story with good touches of humour to start this series of books.

While the overall plot is an enjoyable one, the strength of the book for me was in the characters themselves, the steady expansion of Kirian's crew through the book helped with keeping me engaged with the story and added more depth to the main character too.

The narrator also did a good job of helping the book, nicely enhancing it with a good and distinctive range of tones to ensure the reader didn't get confused by the varied cast unnecessarily.

Overall, a strong standalone book that leaves enough open for future instalments.
