About this listen

Naval Officer Jack Samson thought a posting to the frontier of human-inhabited space was the death blow to his career.

He couldn't have been more wrong. A routine inspection of a small merchant vessel leads to devastating loss and the discovery of strange, fascinating objects. As astonishing discoveries unfold, a mysterious and hostile ship proves that Samson has a competitor in unlocking the secrets of an ancient alien civilization and that humanity might not be alone in the galaxy after all.

I enjoyed this and wait in anticipation for part two.
Only a couple of small grumbles:
The supposedly upper-crust voice of the protagonist is dreadful.
Book seemed to stop mid sentence
.

Good science fiction -

I liked the pace of the book, and the narrator did an excellent job.

It is a fairly fast-paced and fun listen, and I am looking forward to the next one.

If i was forced to put my finger on something it would be that the main protagonist is suffering slightly from "Gary Stu" syndrome. A little more hardship, and I would bump my rating to 5 stars.

All in all an enjoyable listen!

I have read many of Hamilton's fantasy books, so I thought I would give this a try. Enjoyed the story as it is fun and I have now purchased the remaining books in the series to see how it plays out. The narrator did a good job bringing the different characters to life and making each one recognisable by voice.

Quite enjoyed it

I’ve listened to quite a few fantasy books, by Duncan M. Hamilton. This was my first sci-fi of his & it did not disappoint. I quickly got very engaged with the characters & the story moved along really well, to keep it interesting. I’m very much looking forward to the next instalment.

My 1st Hamilton sci-fi
