About this listen

The descendants of a fourth Earth colony ship, Destiny, successfully establish a foothold in unoccupied space. Naiad, the home world, is a frozen ball, but the colonists persevere and expand through wormholes to remote systems.

Navigating the time-space anomalies requires Axis-ships. The expensive vessels are constructed by corporations, and remote worlds are claimed by the companies for their valuable ores and gases.

The corporations and Naiads are at odds with each other, and their lives are made more complicated by the arrival of strangers in an alien ship.

To understand the nature of the unusual vessel coasting toward Beta Two, the director of operations orders the kidnapping of specialists from other mining worlds. Entire families are scooped up, but two siblings, Escher and Allie, evade capture.

Hiding deep below the domes’ surfaces, the siblings are befriended by the orphans of miners. The young mickies don’t possess identification chips or cids, which would identify them as citizens.

The gang of mickies and the siblings strike a deal to help each other. Each group is determined to reach Naiad. The mickies seek citizen status and freedom, and Escher and Allie want help rescuing their parents.

The beleaguered group’s hastily derived plans bury them in criminal complications. When all appears lost, a second alien vessel exits the dark. The hull is similar to the ship at Beta Two, and these strangers seek their enemies.

I am a Silver Ship junky, I love the first 10 books it went down from there and got worse when the Narrator changed. I think you need to bring Alex back maybe as a SAGE.

Needs something

I would love enjoyed the book more if the narrator didn't have a robotic tone.

Too bad the narrator was painful to listen to

if you have not listened to or read the Silver Ships and Pyrean series, this is a continuation of that story, a few hundred years later. The SADEs are at odds and this story is about the 4th of 5 colony ships that a dying earth sent out. about 1000-1500 years later our story of gate ghosts happens.

I think Grove Gardner who started narration of this series is way better than Nicole Poole, but it is passable. the story is interesting enough to make up for the narration.

I think if you like the space opera genre you'll enjoy this continuation of the silver ships universe

great addition to the Silver Ships series

Never having heard of this author before the Daily Deal special, this was my first introduction to S.H. Jucha. I liked it. His writing reminds me of the Sci-Fi masters of old (e.g., think Heinlein and Azimov) with a unique take on mankind's future. Looking forward to reading more.

Liked the beginning of a series

I really like the way this story started and developed. With an eye out for book #2 it started to repeat itself. For me I don't think the second book is a 'yes'. Introduced to this author I will check out other titles.

Started strong, then faded
