Publisher's summary

A treasure map to the stars. An inherited legacy beyond imagination.

When Gunnar McConnell inherits a treasure map after his uncle's death, he goes on the hunt of his life and can't believe what he finds.

There isn't just gold on those mountains, but the secret of a lifetime—a starship that can take him to worlds unknown, and a universe full of life.

When he survives the arduous journey into the belly of a dangerous cave, the Enoch stands before him, waiting for Gunnar to accept his inheritance.

Armed with his new ship—a deified body of destruction—and an AI that only his DNA can activate, Gunnar is forced into a greater conflict of galactic proportions. He soon discovers that politics and deception reach far beyond the boundaries of Earth.

After he willingly accepts a centuries old legacy, a new and dangerous world opens before him—a world he may not be prepared to embrace.

Embark on the adventure of a lifetime with Matt Coleman as he brings you a brand new science fiction series. If you're a fan of spaceships, suspense, and edge of your seat action, this might be the thrill ride you've been waiting for.

I liked the English accent of the AI which stood out nice from reading

I really enjoyed the action and adventure of the main character and then the crew that he acquired. There was plenty of humor and the book was well written. I thought the narrator did a fantastic job And I've already started book 2.

like the narrator

no voluntary hero, with so many superior gifts and advantages, would operate in ,such an informational vacuum that this plot has ,willingly without bringing things to a halt

Kinda Weak

Ok premise, maybe a little similar to some other recent books out there. Main character was way underpowered, gets beat up all the time and survives only by merciful circumstances. Not the winner I think most would want in a story such as this. Narrator did well.

Too many inconsistencies.

It's annoying when main characters are supposed to be intelligent but act stupid. Asking stupid questions for stupid Answers. When there's far more important questions to ask is just aggravating. The writer clearly doesn't have any scientific knowledge because There is no air in space for air pockets to surf. Then there's this mixing of metals and minerals to use as a cure all. That's not even scientific, It's on the level of imaginary nonsense. What's next?You gonna introduce magic wands and orks? I could list dozens of issues with this book. It's good for a first time author but they really needs to spend more time polishing before publishing.

main character a bit whiny and immature for age

I had difficulty developing sympathy or support for the main character. The behavior and attitude are more consistent with a junior high boy than a man in his 50s. There was also significant repetition at time and unnecessary verbage that seemed to serve no purpose other than to increase the word count. The storyline is interesting. So I plan to listen to the next book in the series to see if the author improves on these aspects, or if it is his writing style. Perhaps it is by plan he limits the intelligence and competence of the protagonist. Will listen and see.

Great start to a fun series

I really enjoyed this one. The characters feel real and alive. The writing is fantastic for a first time author. The narration is pristine, which is no surprise given it is Mark Boyett (always fantastic). If you enjoy these types of found starship stories, then this is a good one. As the story unfolds, you get a lot of really unique worldbuilding, which is rare nowadays, so I really appreciated that. The technology is also really creative. I'm excited for the sequel.

Space! Adventure! ….not so much, meh

This book is a perfect example of how to make your MC into a useless and unlikable tool. We are told that the MC is a 50 yr old, ex-military capable and smart individual. Then, the writer proceeds to write him as a whiny lovestruck teenager who is too self involved to see the “big picture” and too stupid to ask the right questions. All in all making this an extremely frustrating and unsatisfying book to read/listen to.
