About this listen
This story is about someone who is just a "normal" college girl. Well, maybe not "completely normal."... It's not like she is the most powerful living weapon ever created... It's not like she carries what is effectively a nuclear weapon in the holster she wears... It's not like she is an Evil Galactic Overlord...
Or is it?
I always knew my birth parents had to be complete assholes; why else would they name me something horrible like Vladimira Darkness. Now that I am in college, I go by the nickname Mira.
Then, a bunch of these heavily armed men-in-black types showed up and made me come with them. First in a Humvee, then a Blackhawk helicopter, and then a fricking spacecraft.
It turns out that my birth mother didn't die when I was a child. She only died a few days ago. I was told I needed to be there for the reading of her will.
Wearing all black for the reading of the will almost made sense. That it was heavy leather armor was a bit unexpected. Then, I was given the traditional family sidearm pistol to wear.
Only this was a weapon made just for me. I was apparently the product of hundreds of generations of bioengineering to be someone who could use the weapon. It had a dial with settings from 1.0 to 3.0, and 2.0 was described as "explode dinosaurs.''
Why in hell would I need what was almost a handheld nuclear weapon? It seems that Mother's official title was "The Lord of Darkness" and that the succession would be the first, possibly the last, time I get to meet some of my siblings.

Story
Jake’s commute home takes an unexpected detour, leaving him stranded on a completely different planet. He soon finds himself in a high-tech hospital in a world populated by strange alien races. However, the new world is not your standard Isekai story. These are not the cliché cute monster girls or the generic characters that look like they were borrowed from a video game. In this world, he is the primitive, has no magic or cheat abilities, and has no clue what will happen. Jake tries to learn to live in the new world but discovers that not everything is what it seems.

Story
On Mars, Jason had stumbled across the escape pod to a 3,500-year-old derelict spacecraft. The AI for the ship then informed Jason that due to him having some traces of alien DNA, he was now the Captain of a massive alien Starship. That 'should' have been good news. Except that most of the Mars and Earth government agencies had different ideas about the alien ship. And the ships AI, having been derelict for centuries... It now has some issues... But the real problem was that Jason's DNA had an additional trait that shouldn't be there... The last time anyone had one of the forbidden DNA ...

Story
Jerry Anderson was an astronaut faced with an impossible choice: die of asphyxiation in a few hours or see if the alien pod he was transporting really was an escape pod and find out if it could actually save him. When he enters it, he finds that the controls are unreadable, lacking anything to go on, and rapidly running out of air. He presses the blinking green button. The next thing he knows, he isn’t human anymore, and he finds himself on a seashore, next to some birds feasting on a body that looks very similar to his new body. He is alive, but staying alive will be a challenge, and he ...

Story
The war between different alien groups lasted for over 2,300 years. But Keith Robinson didn't know anything about that. He assumed that the job he had applied for was to work on an Arctic research ship. He thought that he would be assembling parts for upgraded sonar buoys. He thought wrong. The AI on the derelict spaceship was open to lying if that could finally get the ship repaired. Hiring a repair technician from the primitive planet Earth was a crazy plan. And even crazier, it worked. After salvaging an alien ship, Keith now finds himself the ship's owner. But something is deadly wrong ...

Story
Ben, Chloe, Mark, and the others are off on another adventure, back where they had just stopped one interplanetary war. Now, they are searching for the mystery ship. What could it be up to? They rescue two new beings, but things go awry as their planet doesn't even want them back. Then they discover some more refugees, only some are not what they claim to be, and they land in the middle of another war, all while planning a wedding between Meera and Dylan. After that, the ship finds a derelict that looks like it came out of a 1950s campy movie, only one that someone shot full of holes.

Story
On a frontier planet, land is cheap. So is your life. Tom Savage is intent on homesteading, and Phaethon is the newest planet open for colonization. Here, technology is lacking in many places. And for 200 credits, anyone can claim one square kilometer of prime farmland. But Tom has a secret or two. He is not interested in farming crops, at least not at first. Tom wants to harvest pieces of Phaethon’s sun. To do so will mean first reaching his stake out near the desert, surviving human predators along the way, bringing fugitives to justice, and dealing with the resident sand dragon ...

This is the humorous misadventures of Steve White, who was taking a stroll and looking out over a small pond to see if any of the turtles were out. When suddenly, he finds himself over 400 light-years away. Surrounded by strange aliens and desperately trying to find a way out of this impossible situation. He "fakes it” and accepts the role of the Earth Ambassador to the Pathless, the somewhat insectoid partial humanoid 4-sexed race he now finds himself with. His goal is to return to the Earth. Their goal is much harder to understand. They want him to be the trade ambassador. But what do ...

The Ogres seemed to be 'monsters,' but they were monsters that could be reasoned with—as long as you understood what motivated them. Several new aliens have now joined the fray: One that seems helpful and friendly, but something from its past may have kicked over a hornet's nest—a really nasty threat that hasn't been seen in centuries. A new race may be the most dangerous they have encountered. They have a weapon against which they have no defense. To top it all off, a massive swarm of intelligent insectoid aliens has been expanding, and their former enemies, the Meduala, are now ...

Another enjoyable book from David Collnus
- By LarryB on 06-06-25
By: David Collins
Story - over the top, requires significant suspension of disbelief. But hey - tis "Speculative Fiction", so that's par for the course. Many of the written word issues do not come through in audio form (there are complaints about that online).
The MC adapts to her role as Lord of Darkness well enough. Will update once I am done.
Great action, story moves very quickly, VV not bad
