Starcaster

Starcaster, Book 1

De: Terry Maggert, J. N. Chaney

Narrado por: Tom Taylorson

Magic. Steel. Blood. Victory.

The Earth’s navy is left drifting among the stars as Nyctus ships swarm, their purpose unknown as they continue their advance, burning one system after another. Humanity's extinction seems inevitable. But on one of the forgotten worlds, a boy is left behind, and he holds a talent unlike anything the galaxy has ever known.

Thorn Stellers is a mage, trained to lead and fight. With a renegade division of warriors at his side, and with weapons far different from those of old Earth, Thorn has a chance at standing up to humanity's enemies. For these mage-soldiers, armed with power that had once been thought the stuff of legend, the outcome is no longer certain.

Each Starcaster has a talent - except for Thorn, who has many. With his childhood companion Kira Wixcombe, he’ll confront a threat from beyond the stars, meeting them in the darkness with a light born of magic...and a lust for revenge.

Is his power enough? Or is Earth a forgotten memory, lost forever to history?

New view on magic and space

Enjoyed this audiobook. Fun look at how the mind will also grow when we finally get to space.

I’ve passing this up many times, so glad I finally listened.

I have passed this book up many times, thinking it just wasn’t for me. It’s not what I’m in to, but I decided to listen and I’m hooked. It’s not what I thought it was going to be…it’s much more of a military, traditional space marines story, than a fantasy/magic story. I will be continuing through the series.

fun little space wizard story.
space makes, put through basic training, so they can fight hand to hand, and not just be glass cannons

Interesting story

Overarching story is good. I just wish they had a little more nitty-gritty details filled in. A lot of the facts that I was looking forward to about magic weren’t addressed. For example, they talk about the different types of magic people have, but they never give us a complete list down of each magical type in what it supposed to do. We’re just supposed to pick it up from context in the story. However, when it comes to the actual story, the authors did a really good job. I find the characters very compelling along with all the other parts of the story. You really see character development in the main character. Overall, a really good story, but they really don’t go into much detail about the magic
