The Spaceship in the Stone

Space Legacy, Book 1

De: Igor Nikolic

Narrado por: James Patrick Cronin

Michael Freeman is a disabled veteran who had just been fired from his mind-numbing cubicle job, which allowed his opportunistic girlfriend to dump him. Now, he only wants to spend some time at his grandfather's mountain cabin so he can unwind, away from the drudgery of daily life and with a cold beer in his hands.

Standing in his way is an ancient spaceship with an emotional AI, nanites that have invaded his body, an international crime syndicate, a suicidal FBI agent on a vigilante mission, terrorists . . . and that's just the beginning.

What can one man do when faced with insurmountable odds? Call it quits? Or . . . call some of his old army buddies and blow those obstacles to smithereens?

Can he become more than he had ever dreamed, reaching further than any man before? Staying under the radar of the powers that be while righting a few wrongs of the modern world.

He is sure of three things: 1. He really doesn't want to follow the rules anymore . . . aside from his own; 2. Space is the ultimate frontier, and he had been given a turnkey technology to reach it—if they let him; and 3. Those that want to hurt him and the people he cares about will rue the day they were born.

3.5 stars

I enjoyed the overall story, but not the constant preaching by the main character.

The “twist” at the end was predicted early on in the story.

The whole book basically boils down to “how I would fix the world if I had unlimited power and resources.” Also, how the rest of the world will try to stop me because they will be jealous of me.

Still, I like reading stories about people stumbling into unimaginable power. Even when they get a bit pompous and full of themselves as a result. Lol

Good story so far

I follow alot of similar story line in other books but it is ok and of course JPC was a great narrator choice.

In awesome hidden find

With over 400 audiobooks in my collection it is getting really hard to find books that are overwhelming and captivating.
However, this is a really fun book and I intend on following the series.

Great start of a new "what if?" series

Loved the story. Clear separation between good and evil, which is what I could use right now

Loved it despite some quirks…

The listing of measurements in both metric and imperial is a bit weird but I can see why it’s done.
The complete skirting of where the power for all the stuff that gets built is something else and I can list more, but the story is well told with a strong opposite direction against the current PC garbage that is floating around.

Basic science fiction and enjoyable

I liked it very much, even though it was predictable I enjoyed it. Staying on earth was a nice switch.

Amazing!!!

picked this book up because of James Patrick Cronin the narrator I like his work, as it turns out I really like the author of this book as well. Worth the credit I have lots of books in my library and this is one I will be listening to again I can't wait for the next book to be released loved it!

Entertaining

I loved every second of the story. It was entertaining and kept my daily walks with my dog fun and interesting.

Not too bad

There have been other I found a spaceship, and this is what I am going to do stories. The author was right, if you want to keep a secret don’t tell anybody dead men tell no tales it’s true today, as it was in the past.

The determination and capability of Mike and the AI

The determination and capability of Mike and the the Ai. His stalwart crew are the perfect mix.
