About this listen

Michael Freeman is a disabled veteran who had just been fired from his mind-numbing cubicle job, which allowed his opportunistic girlfriend to dump him. Now, he only wants to spend some time at his grandfather's mountain cabin so he can unwind, away from the drudgery of daily life and with a cold beer in his hands.

Standing in his way is an ancient spaceship with an emotional AI, nanites that have invaded his body, an international crime syndicate, a suicidal FBI agent on a vigilante mission, terrorists . . . and that's just the beginning.

What can one man do when faced with insurmountable odds? Call it quits? Or . . . call some of his old army buddies and blow those obstacles to smithereens?

Can he become more than he had ever dreamed, reaching further than any man before? Staying under the radar of the powers that be while righting a few wrongs of the modern world.

He is sure of three things: 1. He really doesn't want to follow the rules anymore . . . aside from his own; 2. Space is the ultimate frontier, and he had been given a turnkey technology to reach it—if they let him; and 3. Those that want to hurt him and the people he cares about will rue the day they were born.

king clichee

it's more of a documentary following the us hero archetype, complete with a classic case of know-it-all, our veteran soldiers saves the day, gets the girl, decides humanity's future and everyone bows to his superior.. ego. characters are simple automatons, no evolution through the narrative. wouldn't pay to listen to the next one..

Good story

Loved the pace and scenes with real story line
A little bit predictable male hero stereo type with girls doing the washing up

Reminded me of silver ships or expeditionary force

Or bobivers as its main character is a sentient ai. Like expeditionary force it’s heavy with US military perspectives also very annoyingly all measurements are given in feet and then meters, i really don’t mind which you use but both makes it sound like a construction manual. I like the concept of using the technology to fight earth based crime but I’m not sure il bother with book two.

Really good story BUT, Imperial and Metric ??.

Enjoyed the story and will listen to book 2 but, the nonsense whereby every time a measurement was used, be it yards or metres etc, the writer HAD to put both in every time. it really messed with the story. Just use one or the other, people aren't stupid in the main, we can work it out for ourselves.

Great story well written. Really enjoyed it.

The idea was great. And I found the book to be really well written and the characters interesting. All in all a great book. My only complaint is that every time there was some kind of length or weight measurement it was repeated first in imperial and then then in metric which got very annoying after awhile.

Very engaging book, lots of action

A very engaging book, with similar themes to others in the genre, but different enough to be enjoyable, and lots more action.

One surprising difference is that all measurements are provided in both US (Imperial) and metric! This was very well received; as a European, it helped so much to be able to visualise the descriptions with units I recognised. I would add the author to my favourites list purely for that!

Thanks to Mr Nikolic for making the listen so enjoyable. Now, I'm off to buy the next book…

The story and narration were excellent
