Resumen del Editor

Ex-Army paratrooper Griffin “Fin” Brooks thought he left danger behind when his battlefield injuries forced him to pursue a new career in marine biology. But one fateful night off the coast of South Africa, a ship nearly crashes into him and his loyal golden retriever, Jacques.

Not just any ship. A starship.

Though its alien pilot is dead, the rare extraterrestrial animal inside is not. Fin learns the creature is being smuggled across the galaxy when a pair of interstellar visitors respond to the crash. But those same investigators accuse Fin and his dog of crimes he didn’t even know existed.

The only way to clear his name is to take the strange creature to its home planet and find out who’s responsible for killing the starship’s pilot. And that means Fin quickly needs to learn how to fly a spacecraft and navigate a galaxy teeming with intelligent life beyond his wildest dreams.

And he’s not the only one with designs for the crashed starship and it's cargo. Fin will need every skill he’s honed as a paratrooper and a marine biologist if he—and his dog—are to survive.

Don't miss the next rollicking sci-fi adventure from Anthony J. Melchiorri. It's perfect for fans of JN Chaney, MR Forbes, and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Love that octopus

Not even 1/4 of way through and I will admit so far I am enjoying it. However, I must make the same complaint I have been making for the last several years. The protagonist is whiny, complaining. and self centered. I'm done for now.

Very good well worth a listen.

Good overall story looking forward to the next installment. Very interesting plot and interesting creatures.

cliche

Paul did a great job narrating. The story had to many inconsistencies, and overall the story was weak.

A brand new series to love!

I'm a huge fan of Melchiorri and this book might just be my favorite yet. It's got everything to love, a great MC, a dog, and a spaceship. Plus loads of action/adventure/science that we can expect from his books. The narrator did a great job. Awesome all around! Can't wait for book 2 and 3.

Fun “sci-fi lite”.

I really disagree with the reviewers who said that the MC was a “whiny simpleton”, I actually found him refreshingly capable. To those who are expecting an “Asimov/Reynolds/Liu Cixin/Clarke” hard sci-fi, you will be disappointed. This book is more akin to JN Chaney/Glynn Stewart/MR Forbes (I.e. light on science, heavy on fiction). The book’s plot is simple, characters are engaging, plot moves along at a fast clip. It is what it is; a pulpy sci-fi. Personally, I enjoyed it. The narrator is perfect for this book as well.

The world beyond our planet

I like the characters and how he’s used some minor characters from past books that you didn’t expect

amazing Story

Loved the Expeditionary Force reference in chapter seven and Paul Heitch is an amazing story teller as always.

Cool Story!

This is a fun story that kept me interested the entire way through, and left me looking forward to the next book in the series.

Fun interesting story

Good story and characters. A different military space opera, it was a nice unexpected find

Whiny insufferable overwrought narration

The story was so juvenile, with definitely no more substance than a bad YA novel. The characters were beyond silly. A marine biologist who immediately volunteers to fly a spaceship (whose pilot was killed in a crash into the sea) on a mission? To return an alien "animal" to its home world? To help out two three -eyed aliens who breathe methane and happen to show up and realize they can't fly the "gooey" home because they have a different mission? So of course they do the logical thing and "deputize" our idiotic biologist as a certified "Space Ranger" so he's eligible to fly the spaceship. Puh-lease.

I love Sci fi but this? And the narrator was terrible, overemphasizing nearly every word of the inane dialogue. If you're 11 or 12 go for it. Otherwise read some Isaac Asimov. . .
