Antares Trap

Scorpius Chronicles, Book 1

De: Anjula Evans

Narrado por: David McMasters

It was supposed to be a simple assignment....

However, young Governor Reagan Vasilios uncovers something others want to stay hidden at all costs.

Corruption is spreading like a virus throughout the Antares system, pushing some down a slippery slope and others into a pit of annihilation. Reagan is faced with a decision: Stand up to corruption or look the other way.

But his actions have dire consequences, and a new dictatorship arises. War looms. Reagan is living on the edge, not knowing that a deeper force is driving events.

As democracy fragments, the balance of power shifts, and freedom becomes fragile.

Unexpectedly, Reagan discovers a life form different from anything he has encountered before.

Will it bring death to all in its path or hold the key to the future?

Great book, looking forward to more

For a young adult focused book, sometimes the author spends too much time building out unnecessary details (ex: delivering the alien babies toward the end of the book), almost it feels in an attempt to prove his greater-than-surface knowledge of the subject matter. That being said, the descriptions of the physical appearance/characteristics of various alien species (accompanied by the narrator’s accents) allows the listener to picture them clearly. The general plot is interesting, and the heroes solutions creative.

Fun YA scifi

Fun read, but paced a little fast for my taste. I would have loved more time to get to know the characters and the politics. Nice narration.
