Summary
When Van Tudor returns to his childhood home, he inherits more than the family farm.
His grandfather used to tell him fantastic stories of spacemen and monsters, princesses and galactic knights. Little did Van realize, the old man's tales were more than fiction; they were real.
Hidden beneath the old barn, Van’s legacy is waiting: a starship, not of this world. With his combat AI, an android bird named Perry, Van takes his first steps into the wider galaxy. He soon finds that space is far busier and more dangerous than he could have ever conceived.
Destiny is calling. His grandfather's legacy awaits.
Embark on the adventure of a lifetime with USA Today best-selling author J.N. Chaney and Terry Maggert in this galactic quest for glory.

ehhh almost....
I think I might get this to read instead of listening to it on here as the story sounds good but the Narrator is bland as hell. Everyone speaks in the same voice so following any conversation is difficult and it constantly pulls you out of the story.

story and charactes are very much lacking.
love these types of books and listen to alot of them. honestly felt like I wasted a credit on this though and can't bring myself to possibly wast another to see if it gets better in book 2.
I remember thinking half way through if the main character got killed it wouldn't make a difference. just couldn't buy in to it. not for me.

Start modeled after the video game genre that st
Only in the first hour or so of this story but it's very obvious the story is a rip off the space adventure/shooter video game genre started by Elite - you suddenly get a fairly weak space ship and have to do missions/ fight / trade to gain credits to upgrade so not looking promising. However the characters seem fairly engaging so not hopeless.

up to book 5 and it is going strong
It's a little bit of a shaky start but the series gets better and better as you go through the books. There are moments where you will be sad, moments you won't be able to stop laughing and where you hang on every word the narrator says.
I can 100% recommend this book.

Narrator was brilliant
Was on the epilogue and bought the next book. Lovely relaxing listening. Highly recommended. Will be buying the rest as well.

Good story
The story is good, but written in a weird summarised form where you get the start and end of plots but not the details in the middle.

8 hours left and worth every penny.
likes; The action, the characters, the pacing
dislikes; the method of gaining the ship seems too easy but I even like that it comes with so many catches.

Great story
Novel way of getting the story 'into space', with an interesting back story. All the male characters sounded the same, as did all female characters.
