Summary

Heritage is the debut novel from S.M. Warlow and the first installment of the Tales of the Phoenix Titan series. This best-selling space opera is perfect for fans of Firefly, The Expanse, Star Wars, and Mass Effect.

Make them proud, son of Earth.

Twenty-five years after the fall of Earth, the Commonwealth is locked in a vicious, galaxy-spanning war against the Revenant. Countless worlds have been lost in the fighting, and now one crew must come together and stand in the way of galactic annihilation.

Nathan Carter is an efficient criminal, but when he's hired to steal supplies from a Commonwealth warship, what starts as an easy job soon transforms into something that could change the course of history. Now, Nathan must work with a group of unlikely allies to protect a woman whose heritage is the key to everything.

Brilliant Book

loved the book, the characters are well written and easily likeable and narration is on point, really nicely done and the story has echoes of all the sci fi greats but with its own little spin and edge making it original and engaging, a little fast paced and chaotic in places but on the whole it makes it a better book.

Loved it

I absolutely loved this book. The imagery conjured up by this author hit the spot.
I felt that this book had sci-fi influences pouring in from all angles and I raced to get to the end.
Great book and the audio let me drift with the imagery.

I can’t wait for the next instalment.

This could be SO good. But it's amateurish instead

It's very sad to say - this could be SO good. The storyline, the ideas, the set of characters, the general ideas are neat. But the storytelling is atrocious. It's amateurish, it's even immature. Everybody, from humans to felines, "chews on their cheek", "circles a table", "cannot help but notice" - it's like someone really doesn't have a great grasp of words. But even worse. The characters are all the same. They think the same, talk the same, act the same - there's zero development. And everything is SO overdramatic.

This book needs to be rewritten. I really WANT to read it and cheer for it. But it's hard to stand this version of it.

Oh, a few things - the whole universe speaking English, an anglo-saxon German dialect? A black refugee from Earth being "Afro-American"? The US centrism of the story is pretty lame.

Please, please: Restart this book. It's a great plot, with a galactic quest on the background of an epic struggle, with hints towards a deep history. But it's simply very hard to get through it, because the storytelling is so flat.

Poor narrator quality.

A very average story let down by a awful narration quality. Background sounds, breathing, poor equalisation... weak voices ect. The story itself was not the worst I've listened to, I did finish the entire book. However predictable plot, repeated phrases and an overall average quality of characters and events. I would not recommend.
