The Last Omega in the Galaxy

Scales and Tails of Fate, Book 1

De: Lilo Quie

Narrado por: Brandon Utah, Jon Andrews

N01-5-2, Vil, has lived four hundred years as a second-class citizen, a reptilian hybrid created from creatures from the stars who left as mysteriously as they came.

Worshiped like gods, the ancient progenitors advanced humanity with gene therapy, which became their downfall, as the very DNA they relied on poisoned them. Relegated to traveling the galaxy with his ragtag reptilian crew, they set course to an abandoned military base on an old asteroid and find something the progenitors shouldn't have left behind frozen in wait.

N03-1, Noel, sits in wait for his rescuer. Every day, he puts out a single SOS call, his cryogenic stasis limited on how much his brain can process. Dimly aware of the passage of time, he sits in contemplation of his family that left him behind, the government that controlled him, and the legacy of pain and death that remains. Every day, he says the same thing. "Today will be different." When a hybreed soldier peers at him through the frosted glass of his stasis chamber, he knows it'll be different this time.

“I listen when people speak. I also listen when they don’t. There’s a lot said between words.”

This is book 1 in a new series by Lilo Quie called Scales and Tails of Fate. I don't know where this author comes up with this stuff, but it's amazing. She has so many series I have no idea how she keeps it all straight.

I originally read this but since the new book is about to be released I decided to buy the audiobook so I could refresh my memory. These two, new to me, narrators did a fantastic job. Brandon Utah and Jon Andrews brought these two characters to life asking with the rest of the crew. I enjoyed it so much and now I'm ready to jump into book 2, The First Omega Made.

This is my original review of the book and everything I said still stands for the audiobook as well!!!

I was trying to figure out what I wanted to say about this book. My brain was like... What. Did. I. Just. Read? It's so original I'm a bit thunderstruck (how often do you get to use thunderstruck in a sentence?). It's serious, it's funny, it's thought-provoking, it's everything I didn't know I wanted and/or needed in a book.

If you're looking for something totally unexpected this one's for you!!!

I can't wait to see what's next in this series, I'm hoping that Doc will get his own HEA.
