Publisher's summary

The guild is under attack, and Van is right in the middle of it all.

When Master Yewlo is abducted by unknown forces, the Peacemakers are thrown into chaos as the rescue mission begins. Finding Yewlo will be hard, but the search reveals secrets the guild might not survive - secrets about a system so corrupt, it will take Van and his team’s best efforts to untangle the truth.

And they might not like what they find.

On the grimy station known as Halcyon, Van will track and confront thieves who deal in stolen lives, all in order to save a Master who might not have the guild’s best interest at heart. With Sorcerers and Cloaks and every other kind of criminal, Van, Torina, Perry and Icky learn that friends come in all shapes and sizes - and so do enemies.

From the depths of space to Iowa, join Van as he fights to save his guild, free stolen lives, and discover that money makes the universe go around - money and lies, that is.

And Van will find the truth, no matter what the cost.

Not the best in the series but still good!

Loving this series so far. Definitely not a very big fan of the narator choice, but it's not a deal breaker. This book seemed to end rather abruptly and seemed a little short but it was still good.

Everything done brilliantly!

Have love the the series from book one, the characters are interesting, hilarious, and always keeping you on ones toes.

Great series

This was a fun read can't wait for the rest of the series Great Narater

Anvil Dark

Another good listen!! Love these books they keep you entertained that’s for sure! Adventure and new characters.

worth it.

if you liked the last two books then you'll love this third book. not to spoil anything but it's really cool to watch rhe characters get better over time amd the craziness just keeps 1up-ing itself. the humor is effortless and clever. 10/10

Quick review

I have now listened to 3 of these books and have thoroughly enjoyed them. Looking forward to number 4. Jeffrey Kafer does a excellent job at narrating, but there are so many characters I get a little lost on whose who. Still great books and highly recommend them.

A fun listen

I'm really enjoying this series. Fun, snarky, and enough adventure to keep it upbeat and entertaining.

Worthy 3rd Book in the Series

I've so enjoyed this series, including the many short stories that are available at little or no cost. This 3rd book takes off immediately after the end of the 2nd, with no pause in the action. The characters are all there, developing into family members you can't help but love and cheer for. Chaney and Maggert make a great writing team, and Kafer's narration is excellent.

Backyard Starship series.

Entertaining story in a grand tradition.
I hear shades of Heinlein. Love the Iowa farm connection. Is humorous, and the story moves along quickly. One comes to appreciate the quirky different characters.
I’ll keep listening, while also seeking other, a little more hard, sci fi books, my forte.
A Quite respectable work, though.

A funny and fantastic story.

I love the story the characters are hilarious nothing like laughing out loud while listening to your headphones at work. relationships in this series keep growing and becoming more with every book I think Perry is my favorite. please keep them coming.
