Jael and his crew are on the run, searching for an ancient machine that could save the galaxy, but the syndicate-controlled moon has other plans.

After uncovering an artifact that grants him extraordinary powers, Jael thought he had gained the upper hand in the lawless fringes of space. But news of his newfound abilities has spread throughout the galaxy, and a bounty is placed on his head for crimes he didn’t commit. New enemies emerge to claim the reward and old foes remain relentless in their pursuit of the artifact.

Jael is unwillingly thrust into a high-stakes game that determines control over the moon. The four crime syndicates use this brutal contest to decide who will rule, and now Jael’s fate is entangled with theirs.

Complicating matters further, a mysterious woman with a similar artifact stalks Jael across the moon, sabotaging his quest. With each step, the stakes rise, and every decision could mean life or death. Jael must fight to stay alive, protect his crew, and uncover the second Antiqui lock—before time runs out.

A high-octane space opera that blends adrenaline-fueled martial arts with interstellar thriller, Stellar Heir is perfect for fans of sci-fi like Sun Eater by Christopher Ruocchio or Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey.

Syndicate Moon picks up where Stellar Heir left off. The crew is stuck on a moon ruled by syndicate thugs, the ship is impounded under a mountain of debt, and the only way out is through.

I liked how this book took on more political plottng and insight into the ancient civilizations. Everything went a lot deeper into the characters and story. I did zone out a bit during some of the super long action scenes and I think YA readers would love this as a gateway into sci-fi.

Powers are shifting across the moon and alliances are changing, setting up the players for the next book.

I do with Jael would cork his ego a bit though, is he really a great fighter if he keeps getting mortally wounded every five pages and relying on the artifact to keep him alive? If it weren't for that he'd be dead 200x over and I do wish he'd show a little more initiative for keeping himself alive on his own, but maybe in future books he will embrace some teaching that I think is coming.

Either way, I'm excited for book three after that last chapter!

action packed sci-fi!

Syndicate Moon by Scott Killian is an amazing song Sci-Fi space Opera. Shamaan Casey did an excellent job with the narration. The story is entertaining, interesting, thrilling, dramatic, action packed, and more. Syndicate Moon is the second book in Stellar Heir series. Jael though he and crew has the upper hand. But are changing. Can they figure out what’s going on before they lose it all? I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. Highly recommend.

I personally did not care for this 2nd book as much as the 1st. For me to much betrayal, backstabbing, conspiracies, and strife.
I found it to stressed ti really enjoy, but narrator does a good job with the various characters voices and the entire storyline.

Shamaan Casey delivers another strong performance, adding energy to Killian’s story. Book 2 is even more exciting than the first—fast-paced, thrilling, and packed with action. A solid and entertaining follow-up.

Scott Killian, you mad genius, you’ve done it again. Syndicate Moon takes everything I loved about Stellar Heir and turns the dial way, way up. This sequel is a full-on space opera thrill ride with layer upon layer of intrigue, danger, and cosmic drama.

Jael’s journey across a crime syndicate-controlled moon is anything but linear, and I was hooked. Between the deadly “games” that determine moon dominance and Jael’s personal quest to find the second Antiqui lock, there’s no room to breathe, but in the best way.

The dual storyline structure had my brain working overtime (in a good way), mixing the overarching galactic politics with the boots-on-the-moon survival arc. It’s complex, it’s rich, and it rewards active listening.

I’ll admit, at times I felt like I needed a character map and a corkboard to track all the syndicates, secrets, and betrayals, but somehow Killian manages to wrangle the chaos into a compelling and emotionally grounded story. It never felt like confusion for confusion’s sake—more like a story that asks you to pay attention.

Shamaan Casey, once again, absolutely crushes the narration. He brings Jael’s desperation, strength, and sharp wit to life, while juggling a huge cast of voices—human and otherwise. He brings clarity to a dense narrative and keeps it charging forward with style.

There’s real tension here, not just from the battles and betrayals, but from the moral questions Jael has to face. What’s the cost of power? Who can you trust when everyone’s playing their own game? And how do you protect your crew when the whole galaxy wants a piece of you?

While the scope is massive and the worldbuilding deliciously intricate, it’s the stakes that truly shine. This isn’t just a race for a mythical artifact—it’s about survival, loyalty, and navigating the fine line between hero and weapon.

Syndicate Moon isn’t a passive listen, it demands your full attention, but it rewards you with a rich, cinematic experience that’s well worth the ride.

The action ramps up in this followup to the first book (Stellar Heir) with the same great narration. Several of the world building questions are finally resolved and were fairly interesting and the hero more like I expected ... which made this more fun to listen to. Over all, these are both worth a listen.

I received this audiobook at no-cost from AdoptAnAudiobook.com. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.
