About this listen
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.
Alex Holder, a retired engineer, just happened to be in the right place, at the right time, with the right mindset, to find himself chosen by the Chhrt'ktk't to hand over control of their shipyard to, simply because he was the first person they found able to interface with it. The Chhrt'ktk't could not possibly anticipate what he would do with it. And neither would anyone else.

Has Potential!
This story had potential but wasn't explored fully, most of the book is focused on little things like designing living space and making food and other small bits, it's full of wishful ideas about all governments being nice and cooperative, also there's no world building elements, the whole book is the MC and the AI improving different elements of the ship, Earth is mostly ignored. I hope the next book is better.

Has potential, has potential
Good idea for a story, unfortunately it misses the mark in several ways, the whole book could have been wrapped up in a couple of chapters as there is so much repetition, the protagonist explains what he is doing no less than 15 - 20 times. There are also so glaring plot hole, for example they can't communicate between the stardock and the shuttle produced using alien tech but the human tech works fine 😂
Hopefully the next chapter/book has a but more substance.
