Star Soldier

Doom Star, Book 1

By: Vaughn Heppner

Narrated by: Ely Miles

It’s survival of the fittest in a brutal war of extinction!

Created in the gene labs as super soldiers, the Highborn decide to replace the obsolete Homo sapiens. They pirate the Doom Stars and capture the Sun Works Ring around Mercury. Now they rain asteroids, orbital fighters and nine-foot tall drop troops onto Earth in a relentless tide of conquest.

Marten Kluge is on the receiving end. Hounded by Thought Police, he lives like an ant in a kilometer-deep city. The invasion frees him from a re-education camp but lands him in the military, fighting for the wrong side. Star Soldier is the story of techno hell in a merciless war, with too many surprises for any grunt’s sanity. Star Soldier is a full novel, 82,000 words in length by Vaughn Heppner, Writers of the Future winner, Vol. IX.

very good read

intresting comparison to a extreme socialist society and military society. you see martin grow from a lowly terrorist trying to escape one society to get caught up in the other.

What a waste of time!

Did not enjoy this V. Happier book and won't be finishing the series. A lot of the story line just doesn't work with too much conflicting threads within the story.

Love the story.. But...

Oh my god. Vaughn, how could you have this book and series in a tin can, horrible, but because I like your writing I'll listen to all of them. But PLEASE no more TIN CAN Sound.

Sorry got say what I feel. Great Series though.

fun begining

this is a fun beginning to the series. I look forward to continuing in the series, although I found the reading of the narrator to be painfully slow and over pronounced. most of this was solved by speeding up the 'Read speed' by approximately 10%.

too much vocal fry

sure, it makes the bad guys seem worse, but it also hurts the listener's ears. Does anyone really talk like that other than performers?
