When you are old enough to finally become an Earth Mars citizen, everything should be perfect. Right? Not for Liam Hoffen. He's stuck on a mining asteroid called Colony 40, helping his father work a claim that is never going to pay out. His best friend, Nick James is set for life in James' Rental business and Liam just discovered that the girl he's known forever thinks he's pretty great and now she's leaving for the Mars Naval Academy.

Liam dreams of sailing the stars. Whenever he gets the chance, he jets into space and floats, wishing to be free of the asteroid that has claimed him. What he doesn't realize is that fate is about to change everything.

Sometimes you have to lose parts of yourself to gain the stars, and Liam discovers that while it isn't easy to literally lose parts of yourself to the pirates who attacked your home, gaining the stars is worth everything.

He and Nick are about to find out what the real world has to offer and they end up meeting exciting people along the way.

I was talking to the author on fb because his ad popped up.... well I took the 3 people who said it was great advice and got the first book. I had a very hard time turning it off when I got home from work, I even listened after I got the kids to bed. simple put the characters feel like me and my friends doing stupid stuff that works. buy it and try it.

I was hesitant to get this at first, since I had only listened to the junkyard series. I was not disappointed though! McFarlane strikes just the right balance of technical details and hypotheticals world you can really imagine living in, which makes it easy to be transported there. Michael Naramore's reading is great as always.

McFarlane Doesn't Disappoint

Wonderful

Story line was simplistic but listenable. Things moved at an acceptable pace but I felt that several passages could have been expanded upon. Almost did not buy the book because of it's short length. Would recommend for background while driving.

Made for a young audience.

Great Start to a series. Kind of a Honor Harrington lite. One person with a lot of integrity affecting major events.

Great Start
