When Ben Murdock receives a text message offering a fully operational starship for sale, he’s certain it has to be a joke.

Already trapped in the worst day of his life and desperate for a way out, he decides to play along. Except there is no joke. The starship is real. And Ben’s life is going to change in ways he never dreamed possible.

All he has to do is sign the contract.

Joined by his streetwise best friend and a bizarre tenant with an unseverable lease, he’ll soon discover that the universe is more volatile, treacherous, and awesome than he ever imagined.

And the only thing harder than owning a starship is staying alive.

If you like found starships, unlikely heroes, and intergalactic mayhem, you’ll love Starship for Sale, the latest sci-fi adventure from best-selling author M.R. Forbes.

im on book four already I have enjoyed the saga so far, unlike some other space operas it's continually layering not the continual repetitive story.

Sci fi meets drama with a dash of humor

This is a great idea executed mediocrely. it has all the right ingredients, but ingredients doesn't make a dish taste good by itself. There's a few wasted opertunities to have complications, like maybe a tag -along first date to create some humour and conflict. A bit too much convenient things happen. it's like a junior High schooler took a university level author workshop... this book is saved by an excellent narrator though, so it was enjoyable

lazy storytelling

I give the publisher a challenge, Change the audio sample and my guesstimation is you will gain a higher percentage of book purchases.
I love the author and the narrator is great. The section that the publisher chose is not consistent with the narrators voice and abilities at all.
I have looked at this book several times and rejected it because of the reviews and the audio sample.
Later, it kept popping into my mind and I read the reviews on Kindle, and I liked the reviews. I went ahead and took a chance on the book because I cannot imagine the author being as terrible as some of the reviews stated.

The book does have a plodding pace and is a slow Developing storyline. However, the book is paced towards character development and plot development for the second book. The last 10 chapters of book the story starts to get interesting and captures one’s attention. It is a little predictable, moreover the book allows you to guess whether your predictions will come true but it also has some fun surprises.
I am definitely getting the second book.
I love that book is clean. I cannot remember whether there is vulgarity in it or not Which of course indicates that there’s very little or none in the book. This makes my purchases very easy and the content is refreshing. An adult book that I can actually recommend to my grandchildren, wow what a concept!

Lastly, the narrator in various voice ranges sounds like will Wheaton which is a complement. Will Wheaton is one of the best book narrators on the planet. However, it is a little bit of a fun distraction when all of a sudden I hear will Wheaton. The narrator is good and Appears to be fairly new at his craft but he is good and appears he will continue to get much better and I enjoyed him very much.

Change the audio preview sample to Chap1 please!

Fun Story

Fun story. Likable characters. Good pacing. Kind of reminds me of "Ready Player One" (The 1st Book).

Light Easy and Fun Book. Pretty.

I feel like the characters are written like they’re 10 years old and it’s hard to get past the fact that 221 year-old men are acting so poorly. I don’t mean like bad choices so to speak but just their whole attitude seems like and it’s hard to wrap my mind around and connect with the characters.

The writing was just so so

It seems like 75 to 80% of this book is set up. If they’re not setting things up to not get a payoff, then they are trying to make you feel sorry for the main character. Even if it is the first of a series there should be some pay off at the end of it.

It is all set up, no real payoff.

I can't wait to listen to the next book. This had a real beginning. it's not like other space operas that require a Prequel so you'll know how the characters ended up where they are. i appreciated that.

GOOD START TO THE SERIES
