Publisher's summary
"It started out with a bang and just got better." -Goodreads reviewer
Over 1,000 pages of nonstop action! If there's one thing Adam Eckhart knows, it's that humans are trouble. After all, he is one.
As captain of the Marathon, a cobbled-together ship crewed by aliens and androids scraping by on odd jobs at the outskirts of settled space, Adam has plenty to worry about without adding his own species to the mix.
But when a pair of mortally wounded humans cross his path during a heist gone wrong, he finds himself compelled to save them.
Big mistake.
Because if there's one more thing Adam knows, it's that the universe never leaves a good deed unpunished.
He and his crew are about to find out just how right he is.
Includes the first 5 books in the Marathon series:
- Bad Cargo
- Hidden World
- Trapped
- Lost Star
- War Dead
Five star reviews for Bad Cargo, book 1 in the series:
"I absolutely couldn’t put the book down. Full of action, suspense, intrigue, drama and deceit throughout the the story!"
"Quick and to the action straight away. Reminds me of the stories in the old pulp sci-fi magazines."
"When I’m ready to read for pure escape and entertainment, I’m happy to know that Mr. Young will have another book or series ready for me!"

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Avalon was the flagship of the Castle Federation in the last war, now 20 years past.

Accepting the inevitable, the Federation Space Navy has decided to refit her and send her on a tour of the frontier, showing the flag to their allies and enemies as a reminder of her glory - and then decommission her for good.

Story
We hide in shadows. Our planet is lost. We are the last humans, and we must go home. Two thousand years ago, aliens destroyed Earth. Our fleets shattered. Billions died. The last humans fled a burning planet, heading to the stars. Today we are still refugees. Hungry. Afraid. Our enemies hunt us everywhere. So we hide. On distant asteroids. In rundown space stations. In deep caves on frozen worlds. And we dream. Of green hills. Blue skies. Golden fields. We dream of Earth. And for the first time, we have hope.

Fantastic fantasy
These books were an enjoyable retreat from reality. The author brought his characters to life in my mind eye.

I Was Surprised Hosy Much I Enjoyed This
I was questioning the idea of an AI as the narrator with virtual voice. I don't know if I should be satisfied or frightened by how unnoticeable it was and how enjoyable this narration was "performed". This was an extremely satisfying listening experience. The story kept my interest and attention about 93% of the time. I call that a win. The character development would be an area of improvement for this writer. I did want to know more, especially the back stories, which the main characters obviously had and the assumptions made and dialogue that was intended to bring us up to speed, were lacking, but it did not keep me from continuing. I still want to know how the main character ended up
"in the fringe". I believe you will enjoy this listen.

Just good ole fashion sci fy.
So the characters are great. But they are missing a lot of back story which creates holes in the story. But it's 94% great. AI narration is spot on too.

the flat voice of the A,I, narrator.
over all good book, I enjoyed the book collection! but the voice of the A,I, narration was a little lacking in excitement or even emotional transition... but with that said, over all it was good. worth the time.

Good story
I like the story, but I did not like the virtual voice. The virtual voice lacked finer human cadence.

The story is good but
I ended giving up on listening to this book, and opted to just read the series. The story and characters are fun, but there were enough acting errors in the narration to drive me nuts.

Excellent narration
I hated the ending, other than that, an overall good sci-fi story. I liked the assorted aliens 😊

Good story
This was a very good story and I listened with interest because this was my first Virtual Voice narration.
The narration was clear and crisp but uninspired. There was little attempt to change voices with characters which for me helps to follow the story easier. If we are going o us this type of AI, then please give it better examples and instructions.

Virtual Voice Narator
I really liked the story. The problem is I hate mispronounced words. They totally throw my mind out if the story. This is gonna be my 1st and last Virtual Voice Narated book. Usually a human Narator will mispronounce one maybe 2 words. This Virtual Narator is terrible it's a better voice than having a Monotone Narator but, there's no inflection no meaning behind the words. Plus I've counted 5 words mispronounced and I'm not done with the last book yet.

Love the characters.
It was good to listen to a story with charming and complex personalities, without the men/women friction. The humor was timed well within the seriousness.
The virtual voice was better than I expected - I thought it would be horrible - it wasn’t. Of course it lacked an understanding of what it was reading,. While I understand Audible wanting to save a few dollars since they’re in danger of bankruptcy (not), but I wish they would have a little more imagination than using virtual voices. Believe it or not, Audible, your listeners like to connect with the readers. We like to read about them and listen to other books they narrate. Personally, I’m not a fan of being dumbed-downed to by your assumptions that I won’t know the difference. If you don’t care, that’s your choice. But I haven’t read a customer review yet that said, “ that computer really brought life to the story!”. You are taking away the very reason we want to have a book read to us in the first place. Shame on you for thinking you’re better than your customers.
To the Author - I really enjoyed your stories. I kept imagining my favorite readers and how their particular “voice” would have made me want to skip ahead to be sure a character made it through, and then laugh more as they used humor to remind us we’re all glad they did. If Audible uses VV for the “free” or “included with membership “ books, be wary of being labeled “not good enough for a luxury (human)” reader. I don’t know if you’d ever be able to get away from it, even if you are “upgraded” to this newly-created exclusive club.
