When Van Tudor returns to his childhood home, he inherits more than the family farm.

His grandfather used to tell him fantastic stories of spacemen and monsters, princesses and galactic knights. Little did Van realize, the old man's tales were more than fiction; they were real.

Hidden beneath the old barn, Van’s legacy is waiting: a starship, not of this world. With his combat AI, an android bird named Perry, Van takes his first steps into the wider galaxy. He soon finds that space is far busier and more dangerous than he could have ever conceived.

Destiny is calling. His grandfather's legacy awaits.

Embark on the adventure of a lifetime with USA Today best-selling author J.N. Chaney and Terry Maggert in this galactic quest for glory.

First of all, there are so many formulaic works of fiction out there that can be called Science Fiction. But this is really refreshing.

Story develops at a good pace, not too fast, not too slow, the AI supporting characters are well thought and unique. A robot bird??? But, I LIKE IT!! oops, see now, I’ve gone and capitalized that. But if you want to have a nice unique story which appears to have sequels, give it a go!

Really a great start, well crafted and narrated.

I have to say that this was a great science fiction story with some really good humor thrown in. The narration was done well and kinda reminded me of some of the old time type radio stories. I definitely suggest this to anyone to likes a good space adventure and will definitely be diving into other books in this series!!

I loved everything about this book and the performance. Great characters, well developed. Set in an interesting universe based on a delightful premise. I want to see the movie, and all the sequels. The only negative thing about it is the knowledge that at some point I'll read the last one in the series.

There better be a lot more books in this series

Another great listen!
