Canis Alpha

Narrado por: Brandon J Peterson

In a future plagued with natural disasters, criminals known as “scavs” raid damaged cities. Their most important rule: don’t help the survivors.

Bear, a twenty-nine-year-old engineer, breaks that rule when he takes Salix, a Native American college student, back to his scav team’s flying ship for medical treatment. Captain Baxter allows her to board but will not let her leave.

Salix hopes to escape, but Baxter’s growing obsession with her makes that impossible. As the situation grows tense, a tsunami in Portugal prompts a scav raid. During that raid, Bear discovers blueprints for a device that could change the world. When it becomes clear that Salix’s life is in danger, Bear flees with her, along with the blueprints, but Baxter follows, and he is more dangerous than either of them realize.

Great story! The Narrator did awesome!

I found the characters to be well developed and the story was packed with action. You'll have difficulties putting this book down. The narrator also did a great job. Otis I gotta say though didn't sound particularly Canadian lol, or even black maritime Canadian. He sounded kind of some sort of American I can't put my finger on. Not at all story breaking though, it fitted somehow lol

Forbidden Rescue, Deadly Pursuit

This was a really good story, and I genuinely enjoyed it from start to finish. Set in a future ravaged by natural disasters, the world felt both gritty and believable. The concept of “scavs” raiding broken cities and refusing to help survivors was both fascinating and dark—and it made Bear’s decision to save Salix all the more compelling.

Bear breaks one of the scavs' core rules when he brings Salix aboard their flying ship for medical help. What follows is a tense, layered plot full of danger and tough choices. Captain Baxter’s obsession with Salix adds a chilling undercurrent, and as the story builds—especially with the discovery of a potentially world-changing device—the stakes grow.

There were a lot of key characters throughout, and I wanted more of their backstories—it would’ve made the story even richer. The ending was satisfying for some, but felt unresolved for others. I especially wanted more time and deeper connection between Bear and Salix; their dynamic had so much potential.

The narration was excellent—clear, engaging, and easy to follow no matter how many characters were in play. Overall, this was a strong, well-written listen, and I’m absolutely looking forward to more from this author.

This is well worth a listen

I really enjoyed this book very different to her other books. If you have the chance listen to them,too. This is a great story it sucks you in once you start you just want to keep going. Make it your next book you want be disappointed.

Such a fun ride!

Couldn’t stop listening! The world-building is vivid, the action never slows down, and the characters felt real. Bear is such a compelling lead, and Salix’s strength really shines. Easily one of the best post-apocalyptic stories I’ve heard in a while.

Extraordinary characters!

The characters in this book are nothing short of extraordinary. Each one is meticulously crafted, with depth and dimension that bring them to life. The protagonist, in particular, stands out as a beacon of courage and determination. Throughout the narrative, you can feel their struggles, hopes, and dreams, making it impossible not to root for them! 5 stars great read!
