Publisher's summary

They tried to destroy our planets. Our way of life. They tried to send us into extinction. But we, the Coalition, fought them and won. That was a decade ago. We had assumed they were beaten for good.

We were wrong.

They’re known as the Host: a cabal of aliens seeking to dominate our sector of space. And they’re back - with help from a powerful new enemy.

Against their wrath, we must stand. We’re outnumbered and unprepared. If we lose, we lose everything.

But there is hope. An ancient race of long-dead but technologically advanced aliens called the Navigators have a ship called the Blackstar that could potentially turn the tide. That is if I, Kai Locke, a humble ship racer, can find it and learn how to harness its power in time.

If I fail, the Coalition will fall, and the Host will consign us to a distant memory. I refuse to let that happen. I will fight to my last breath for the Coalition’s survival.

For fans of Star Wars, Firefly, Battlestar, and Guardians of the Galaxy.

So close to being good

The main character is supposed to be amazing but only stumbles or is pulled through the story. A few plot holes. It just doesn’t quite get together. Maybe future books do.

.

the story is a little rushed and not as much character development as I would like, but overall worth it.

A different kind of space story, very exciting

I really like the characters, the narration was excellent. my favorite part was when they found out the notorious pirate was Kia's brother.

not bad...

I dunno, I'm pretty picky on my Science fiction. Felt like it was missing some plot or story. no real descriptions of alien races...I'm just supposed to know what a ___ is?
There's a war going on with the Host...but yet no explanation....

A fun Listen.

I had enjoyed this book. It was fun sci-fi romp. Great characters, a fun background. It was true, I like BatttleStar, Firefly, and old Star Wars and I enjoyed this book.

I am without a doubt in it for the long-haul looking forward to the second book now.

Started out slow but got better

This book is about 6 hours. The first 30 - 45 minutes were not very good. But, after that the story got interesting.
Over all a good listen. For those that quit on it, I suggest you push through. I think you will be rewarded.

Torn

The narration was great but the story had its good and bad moments. Underwhelming in some areas and captivating in others. This made it hard to follow or stay interested, but right when you're about to give up on it, it lures you back in. I powered through it but I'm not sure if I will read the follow up titles.
