About this listen

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

A deadly alien jungle.
An enigmatic ruin.
Will a young woman pilot survive the encounter?


Belle Machado is being pressured to perform. From a poor family and small town, the recently graduated pilot of a planetary survey company is on a three-day evaluation of her qualifications for command-pilot. But the ambitious young woman is shattered when an unusual rock monolith destroys her ship.

Facing a dangerous planet and ruin alone, Belle fears for her career and her life. But the strange structure proves operational and reveals a threat to humanity.

Can Belle use her resourcefulness to survive and return home with the truth, or is she doomed to become a meal for an alien megapede?

Belle’s Ruin is the hair-raising first book in the Belle Machado science fiction thriller series. If you like alien lifeforms, speculative technologies, and underdog conflicts, then you’ll love Joseph McRae Palmer’s captivating story.

simple clear presentation

The story was not overly technical which made it more engaging and easy to keep track of being listened to in a work environment. Look forward to the sequel/2nd book.

Unique plot

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.

Clever Story

I have read so much Sci-Fi it’s hard to find stories with a new twist. This is a fast paced story which develops well. A fun read.
