About this listen

I'm a prisoner on my own ship.

It's a Bloody Wing, one of the most valuable objects in the galaxy—a starship that leaps across spacetime without going through the surge gates. It means I can travel planet to planet completely off the record.

And I stole it.

Stole it from Taiberos, a galactic tyrant, whose red-clad troopers are hunting me on every world. He plans to get his revenge by crushing my skull with his cybernetic hand.

As long as I keep the ship, I'll be not just a fugitive but one of the galaxy's most wanted.

If I give up the ship, I'll have nowhere to hide.

Either way, I'm fed.

Was skeptical at the description but after listening to about 10 chapters I can say that despite the aforementioned imitation.
I love it.
Charecters, world building, pacing and the narration are top notch.
And I have not finished it yet.

Star Wars clone and a decent one to be Frank!
