About this listen

The SS Nomadic is one of the great unsolved mysteries.

It’s been a century since the disappearance of one of the most opulent starliners in the Alpha Persei Cluster. Wannabe archaeologist Grace Dakota has finally located the wreck, and gambled everything on an adventure to claim the artifacts onboard and make her fortune. But only when she’s betrayed and left for dead does she find the reason the ship had gone off course, and it could lead her to the discovery of a lifetime. If she can find a way off the frozen wreck.

Lieutenant Commander Nathan Chase, has always wanted to make Captain but his life’s ambition is shattereded when he’s forced to open fire on civilians during an emergency evacuation to save his crew. With the cluster on the brink of war, both he and Grace find themselves in a race to find the one thing that may be able to save them, Earth’s first interstellar vessel – The Battleship Trafalgar.

Their paths collide in a battle for survival, with the fate of the cluster hanging in the balance.

Pulsar Sky has an old-school space opera vibe enhanced by the author’s obvious love for history and the ships that sailed our seas. However, here Lejeune has transported us into space, sailing the stars but with that same love for a well-trodden scifi genre. The author adds a welcome twist with Grace Dakota, amateur archaeologist and (some would say) quite a selfish, perhaps stubborn, streak. A combination of her and Lieutenant Commander Nathan Chase take us along on a rip-roaring and often surprising tale of the lost ship Trafalgar, its amazing jump drive, and the lost crew while very much in the foreground is a surprise attack and invasion by a ruthless alien enemy.
All the ingredients are there, and Lejeune does not disappoint after these have been blended. And just when you think you’ve got a handle on the plot, he adds a devious twist with The General … I will say no more other than it adds another layer of depth. A great story, well told, that will have you sailing the space between the stars, and delivering broadsides to the enemy!

Finally a word for the author/narrator. I always worry when an author self-narrates. Yes, the know their material batter than anyone, but a narrator's skill is bring out the nuance while holding the reader's attention - and of course consistency. Lejeune does a fine job, so I will be tuning into book 2!
