About this listen

"The worldbuilding is fascinating...and the story is thrilling." --A satisfied Amazon reader

A mysterious monolith. A deadly alien jungle. Survival is just the beginning.

Belle Machado has one shot to change her life. Fresh out of pilot school and desperate to prove herself, she’s on a high-stakes evaluation flight for the career of her dreams. But when a towering alien monolith blasts her ship from the sky, her ambitions are replaced by a single, primal goal: survive.

Stranded on a planet crawling with predators—including a colossal megapede that stalks her every move—Belle must navigate a treacherous jungle and uncover the secrets of the ancient structure that destroyed her ship. As the monolith reveals a chilling threat to humanity’s future, Belle realizes her survival isn’t just about her—it’s about saving everyone she’s ever known.

Outmatched and alone, Belle’s courage and ingenuity will be pushed to the breaking point. Can she escape the alien world with humanity’s only hope, or will the jungle consume her like so many before her?

Belle’s Ruin is the unrelenting first book in the Belle Machado science fiction thriller series. If you love gritty heroines, mind-bending mysteries, and edge-of-your-seat suspense, you won’t be able to put down Joseph McRae Palmer’s adrenaline-fueled adventure.

Buy Belle’s Ruin today and experience the fight for survival—and the fate of humanity!

I was hooked on the story and was able to finish it because of that. I tried to ignore the distraction of the AI voice but it did distract and at time irritate.

Unique plot
