About this listen

For Samantha Alecto Moura (Sam)—Soul Shifter, Arcane Pathfinder, and occasional walking disaster—peaceful exploration was never in the cards.

What begins as a simple escort mission for a royal ally, Cara Alessia, hurtles Sam and her eccentric crew deep into uncharted space, where alien megastructures, strange factions, and dangerous curiosities lurk behind every glowing gate. From negotiating with tentacled truth-finders to dodging the deadly egos of imperial politics, Sam must balance diplomacy with her knack for blowing things up… preferably not in the same conversation.

But the deeper they travel, the more tangled the web becomes. Allies hide secrets. Enemies smile too easily. And the path ahead may lead to treasures beyond imagining—or a trap sprung on a galactic scale.

With her 'Alpha Class Mothership' Ica, Bloodmorph companion Lupie, Void Slime sibling Nul, and her new Necromancer crew member Xela at her side, Sam’s ready to explore the verse…but is she ready for what she will encounter?

Brimming with discovery, danger, and LitRPG progression, Exploration takes the Arcane Pathfinder saga to space, its most daring frontier yet—where every world has a secret, and some of them don’t want to be found.

It has just about everything you could want from a continuation of the story. Great character interactions, solid world building or verse building? And some entertaining action sequences. Personal power progression does feel a touch slow, but is probably a good thing considering the rapid pace of the past few books.
Looking forward to what comes next!

Best of the series so far!
