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?

some good plot ideas

this story was poorly read. there was no feeling and I am sure here were some jokes but they were so flatly delivered that they passed me by

Great story

Absolutely loved this book, has everything you could ever want from a great sci-fi. The narrator was perfect for this story..... honestly, not one dull moment. Just about to read book 2.

Not very well written.

The story was engaging enough and still listened to end, but found the writing very clunky.

Flat and uninterested performance

Overall story was OK, hard to Zane can do basically everything a star trek away team can.
But I can't stop thinking Michael Braun was voicing this story totally bored and uninterested at all.

Isikai but in space

Painful Generic. The characters have no depth and the main character is the best because..... he is the best for some reason? hated how he reacted to all the space stuff and the sci-fi is just your average boilerplate level of generic space stuff.
Give this one a pass.

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.
