Publisher's summary

A merciless cyborg menace. An invasion Earth can’t win. Can a failed pilot turn the tables, or will he burn up on reentry?

Konran Andacellos has all but given up on his dream to be a starfighter. After botching an airshow maneuver and being reduced to a captaincy on a rock hauler, the ambitious 22-year-old never expected an ambush to sweep in and blow his convoy to dust. With the lives of his crew on the line, Konran leaps into a pitiful one-man defense craft and obliterates the enemy against impossible odds.

Clinging to life, he’s pulled aboard a battlecruiser to heal and offered a seat in a coveted cockpit. And now, he must pit his skills and instincts against an unpredictable foe that will stop at nothing to ensure his first extraordinary triumph is his last.

Will Konran become the savior the galaxy needs, or will the chill of space become his grave?

Starfighter Rising is the first book in the riveting Starfighter Rising science fiction adventure series. If you like scrappy heroes, epic battles, and galactic consequences, then you’ll love Daniel Seegmiller’s electrifying thrill-ride.

Young Adult title

This is a young adult title. The story line is actually pretty good. But it is, without a doubt, geared for a 12 to 15 year old boy.

Great Story - Great Narrator - must listen/read!

This story was fantastic and left me wishing the new book was already out. I subscribed to the authors newsletter and it looks like I won’t have to wait too much longer for the next one!

Great Storyline

For a first time writer, I found this book to be well put together. No real plot twist, but a great build up if a character. I hope to hear the next installment soon.

I like this book ... but!

There story is great but narrator nearly yelled my ear off. If the yelling could be toned down I believe my listening enjoyment would trend positively.

Great Start!

Good vs Evil. Fast-paced and action filled. Likeable good guy characters and storyline, The nasty evil characters are also sadly very believable in today's world too, I found myself cheering on the MC and those who fight with him. Plus, I loved that it's packed full of finger biting space battles with split second decisions.
So, I'm impatiently now waiting on book two, Hurry PLEASE Mr. Seegmiller and you too Audible!.

Choice of tense

Written in 3rd person present tense. Distracting. Takes away from the story line and, for me, made it harder to follow.

Overall Fun

Like I said, overall it was a fun read but there are some plot parts that are a little forced. I really enjoyed some of the action sequences and the plot line was decent but it had higher potential. I might check out the sequel. 3.5/5
