Gun Ship

De: Mark Wayne McGinnis

Narrado por: Fred Berman

Stranded, Loham Babar has spent the last 15 months living amongst humans.

During the day, he’s a South Chicago high school janitor, slopping a mop around from nine o’clock to three o’clock, five days a week. At night, hiding out in an old boarded-up factory, he attends to his damaged interstellar spacecraft, making repairs and counting the days until he can return to his homeworld of Calunoth. All he needs to do is mind his own business and avoid any messy human dramas for just a few more weeks.

But it is on one of those quiet nights when he hears them outside: the MP140s. Named for a police radio code for murder, these bangers are among the worst, most ruthless killers in the entire city. Peering down from the third floor window, Babar recognizes the quiet hermit boy below him, the one with the ugly facial scars, walking into a death trap. Little does Babar realize at the time that this scared, complicated, seventeen-year-old will be the key to saving the distant Realm of Dom Dynasty.

Little rough

great story. the gang element definitely makes this R rated with some of their language/comments. thankfully it never goes that far

Good story!

This was enjoyable listen. The storyline and characters were good for single book. Fred was great as always. Would like to see the story continue.

Great book

I hope this continues, loved the story, I don't know how u come u with this stuff please continue

Loved it

I truly enjoyed this book. I had my doubts but I was won over. Cannot wait for book 2. Please hurry!

Nothing Special

The main plot arc isn't anything all that original or intriguing. As other reviews have noted, the first half of the book gets pretty bleak. I assumed this to be somewhat of a build up/set up for some bleak/exceptional actions/decisions in response by the MC, but no, it's just there.

The interpersonal relationships are both stunted and immature. What exploration there is of the underlying politics, tech, or histories of the universe are bland surface skims.

It's not a bad story, persay, I personally just don't care about any of the characters, the universe, or really anything regarding the story after 10hrs. It's meh.
