Summary

Lt. Zade, on his last days of his last deployment to Afghanistan, still couldn't find the excitement he so desperately needed.

A chance encounter, on his last mission, sends him hurtling through space on the Unity exploration ship XES01. Surrounded by aliens, Zade must quickly learn to interact with the non-soldiers on the crew.

As he tries to earn his place amongst the ship, Zade's combat prowess quickly earns him a spot as the security officer of the ship. A seat left vacant because of a fatal exchange between the former security officer and the wildlife of a far planet. As Zade begins living the adrenaline filled life of a space explorer, he has to ask himself some very important questions.

How does he get back to earth? Does he even want to?

Gripped!

I was geared towards this audiobook having previously finished another audiobook from the space genre. So glad I took a punt on this one, I felt gripped throughout. Looking forward to continuing this journey with zade and his new ship!

Enjoyable romp through space that just needed a little more.

I thoroughly enjoyed enjoyed the book. It has obviously been written as a beginning of a long series Which I look forward to reading. My only gripes were the lack of an antagonist though the story. There is plenty of challenges facing Zade but no single threat to overcome. The end of the book sets the ground work for future books which look to fix this problem. Also I thought Zade was a little too perfect. Other than a mention of his “anger problems” towards the end of the book which I didn’t really see reading it he seems to be a perfect person who’s history conveniently gives him all the skills he needs. A special forces soldier who is also well trained in robotics and physics just seemed a little far fetched for me. These are minor gripes which the author already seems to be fixing in the following series. Well worth a read if
Your in to action sci-fi.

Hidden Gem! +++

I had Stowaway on my wishlist for months, putting off listening to it because I thought it was never going to compare to my very high standards because it was already Included in my Audible subscription... Boy was I wrong!

If you love Sci Fi and appreciate the world building of a story and character development you will love this series!
The story is entertaining and develops at a good pace, it's not rushed and the attention to details is fulfilling.

Z.D. Dean gives other Sci Fi authors such as B.V. Larson and Mark Boyett a serious run for their money, and Michael Braun does a great job narrating it!

I dont have a single negative about the story, and immediately bought and binged the other 2 books in the series!
