Kitra

The Kitra Saga, Book 1

De: Gideon Marcus

Narrado por: Lorelei Esther

Stranded in space: no fuel, no way home...and no one coming to help.

Nineteen-year-old Kitra Yilmaz dreams of traveling the galaxy like her Ambassador mother. But soaring in her glider is the closest she can get to touching the stars—until she stakes her inheritance on a salvage Navy spaceship.

On its shakedown cruise, Kitra's ship plunges into hyperspace, stranding Kitra and her crew light years away. Tensions rise between Kitra and her shipmates: the handsome programmer, Fareedh; Marta, biologist and Kitra's ex-girlfriend; Peter, the panicking engineer, and the oddball alien navigator, Pinky.

Now, running low on air and food, it'll take all of them working together to get back home.

Great read

Always a good time stepping into a space adventure! I especially liked the visceral descriptions of flying, along with emotion-laced flashback stories that give us insight into Kitra's past. Character development was a slow and steady burn, so I'm definitely intrigued to see these characters in new scenarios in Book 2.

a really fantastic, family friends Sci-Fi story

I really enjoyed all of this. Lorelei's reading just really brought the story to life. And the story was so good. I can't wait to listen to the next one.
