About this listen
When galactic forces go to war, someone has to clean up afterward, even if there are still shots being fired.
Bameron Kold has never known anything but life in Yorp, a city ruined by centuries of war. When a pilot from the galactic empire crash lands in his zone, saving her life comes at a personal cost. His closest companion is a construction robot with too much artificial intelligence to go unnoticed.
Now, he must earn the pilot's trust in the hope that she won't turn him and his robot into the space fleet authorities.
When he thinks everything is going wrong, it all gets so much worse.
Fans of military science fiction, mechanized warfare, and post-apocalyptic settings will love Salvager. Check out this exciting introduction to the Tall Boys universe today.

Mitch's mediocre life has just taken a turn for the worse, so his buddy tries to cheer him up by showing him a secret starship. Unfortunately, everything goes south when hostile aliens arrive. In an effort to save his buddy and the starship from the aliens, Mitch does the obvious thing: he accidentally warps hundreds of light-years away. Marooned in a distant star cluster, Mitch is forced to deal with a snarky teenage AI, a rogue auto-pilot, and a beautiful alien soldier who's ready to steal his ship at any moment—so she can fight an oppressive military faction, of course.

I used to be the greatest Earth Mage in my world. The head of the entire Order of Architects. But the older you get, the more you come to realize that at some point, you need to retire, so that you can have the chance to enjoy a peaceful life and to cede your place to the young, some of whom have already turned two thousand years old . . .So that's what I did. But I failed to account for one thing: during the course of my long life, I'd accumulated too many enemies, and they had decided to spoil my retirement. So they died along with me. And I hope their deaths were final. But mine was not!

Story
On the International Space Station, an unthinkable disaster occurs. Was it an accident? ESA astronaut Thomas Ehrmann and NASA astronaut Patricia Michaels escape in a Soyuz capsule. The Russian authorities in Kazakhstan have questions and want to know what happened to the third member of the crew, Oleg Rashkin. They both refuse to talk. What are they hiding? Amina Young is a psychologist with the ESA. In her mid-thirties, she specialized in and advanced the field of psychological analysis of astronauts. If anyone can get to the facts about the incidents that happened on the mission, it's her.
Bam’s companion is a construction robot that he calls Sketch, but Sketch is no ordinary construction robot, he has an illegal A.I. mod. A.I. is tightly controlled, with even the military not allowed to have access to full AI in the MCRs.
Bam’s days are spent trying to find bits of scrap from the many leftover bits of wreckage on the battlefields, so he can clean it up, and try and sell it for food or other useful things. He keeps Sketch’s true identity hidden. There are rules with regards to scavenging/salvaging – whilst it is frowned upon, the military and government (what there is of it), realise that it happens, and for the most part, they also recover bits of tech this way. But no one can go near a downed unit, whether MCR, aircraft, or anything else, if there are still any military personnel inside the unit, regardless of if they are dead or alive. If you are found near the unit by other military, you’re going to be shot on sight.
So, it is with great risk one day, that Bam approaches a downed aircraft that crashes right near him. He can see that no one is going to make it to the pilot in time to help them, and the craft is in a dangerous location. He decides that he has to check and see if anyone is alive, because if he doesn’t, they are going to die.
He finds a female pilot in the ship, just a few years older than him, not only alive, but pointing a weapon at him. Worse, she has seen Sketch moving in such a way that indicates he has autonomous, independent movement, something his model doesn’t have.
As a result of the crash, (you can read it), the pilot has to be rescued urgently, and Bam uses Sketch to do this.
What follows is where the story really takes off. Bam and Sketch realise that the pilot has made them. Whilst trying to work out a deal to both help the pilot, and keep Sketch safe, they find themselves caught up with some of the uglier denizens of the wastelands.
Bam and Sketch are separated, but a cross-over occurs here with the Tall Boys series, and Bam runs into some of the characters from that series as they are trying to deal with these unsavoury types (I don’t want to give away too much!).
There is some really exceptional writing in the following parts, the interactions and dialogue between Bam and the other major players is gritty and authentic, making this whole section utterly captivating.
This is a genre that has been done before obviously, but Moon has created his own unique world that is in-depth, incredibly detailed and compelling – you get totally absorbed into this savaged landscape as you wander through it with Bam in his MCR, accompanied by Sketch. Sketch is an artificial construct, and yet there is such a bond between them, and you really feel it. This is a clever and intelligent story, Moon does not disappoint.
If you have read any of the Tall Boy series, this is an absolute must, but even if you haven’t, then this is still a fantastic stand-alone story, or intro to the series. Regardless if you like Sci-Fi, dystopian, or Mech stories, there is something for everyone – but it shouldn’t be missed.
Connor Branagan is a really great Narrator, with a clear and concise voice, easy to listen to and understand. He does a range of male and female voices that are easy to understand, with distinct male and female voices so you can tell characters apart.
More importantly, Branagan provides the emotional context of the characters, bringing the story to life, so you know how the character is feeling (Happy, Sad, Angry, Elated etc), giving context to the words that he is reading. It adds so much extra to the story.
Branagan does a wonderful job of Narrating this story, making this absolutely worth listening to rather than just reading.
Exceptional novella in the Tall Boy Universe
