Publisher's summary

When it comes to saving the universe from an apocalyptic force, Kyren would’ve picked anyone to be the hero....

Anyone, but himself.

With half the galaxy in ruin and whole star systems filled with the husks of starfleets that failed to stop the deathbots, one self-taught robot boxer will attempt what no one thought possible.

He’ll save the galaxy.

But he won’t do it alone.

Aided by a cat-girl engineer, a crazy alien scientist, and a child oracle, they will search the galaxy for the key to victory against the unstoppable juggernaut of the deathbots.

With a maniacal cyborg dogging their trail, and space pirates around every moon, will Kyren find a way to defeat his foe?

Or will the galaxy burn as all life in the universe is snuffed out...one planet at a time.

Non-stop action

This book is written like an action movie. the characters in this book stumbled through scene after scene of action pack adventure. The downside of this is we never truly get to understand the characters. I guess what I am saying is, this book lacks character developed. Because of the lack of character development I have invested nothing in them.

I'm not saying that this is a bad book I guess it's just not for me. I will give this book three stars. It was a fun ride but the lack of character development hurt this book.

Audible:
The audio version of this and easy to listen to.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

OUTSTANDING!!!

This is a phenomenal story!!! The Narrator is probably one of the most fantastic narrators I've ever listened too and the story is so captivating I refused to turn off the audiobook until the chapter was finished. So happy this is a series so that the story can continue. Cannot stress enough how much I enjoyed this audiobook!

Great New Author!!

I really enjoyed this story. It was very well written and kept my interest thru every page. Can’t wait for Trevor Ames Gregg’s next book to come out!!!

Action Packed Space Adventure

I liked this book. I was in the mood for a fun, adventurous space story, and this one gave me what I wanted. There are interesting aliens, cool gadgets, space ships battles, and tons of action. It's never boring.

My only gripe is that I wanted to learn more about the characters. They're always on the run and fighting their way out of a jam. They would get away from danger, and get about 2 seconds to catch their breath before something else attacked them and they're back to fighting for their lives again. I kinda wanted them to have some down time so they could get developed a little better. Maybe that will take place in the next book.

I listened to the audiobook version, and the narration was very well done.

Perfect young teen Sci-Fi

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

TLDR; A fun Sci-Fi novel that I would recommend for the early teens.

This is exactly the type of book I would want to give to a 13-17 year old. We have a great cast of troupe characters (at that age we want to establish troupe still). It's well written, the plot and characters make sense. I've seen too many books "targeted" at YA when really they're just covering up poor writing. I'm not sure it was the authors intent to write for that age range, but it none the less falls really well into that area.

Overall, pick this for a young teen that loves Sci-Fi, or grab it yourself if you enjoy that genre.

Great Story

Really drew me in. Couldn’t believe I was at end so soon. Burke did an awesome job. Can’t wait to listen to book two.

Robot Fighting, Death Machines, and Space Pirates

This book has a lot to offer for SciFi fans. Robot Fighting, Death Machines, a huge variety of creative aliens, and Space Pirates, although, I wish there were more Space Pirates, but alas, you can never have enough Space Pirates. The action starts early and keeps going throughout the novel. I found myself not wanting to pause. I enjoyed how the author brought the team together and I’m looking forward to listening to their next adventure. The narrator does a fantastic job as well. He gives all of the characters unique and distinct voices, and I enjoyed the creative voices he came up with for the different aliens. Overall, this was an enjoyable listen and I’m looking forward to the next book.

This audiobook was provided by the author at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review.

Surprising

I really enjoyed this story. It was a fun and engaging story. I love a good sci fi adventure book, and the narrator was good for the story.

Picking up the second one now!

Fun listen, enjoyed it

Enjoyed the book, but the chapter names were definitely recorded later, they are very loud and break immersion some. And there are alot of chapters since they are only 5-7 minutes long each. Still despite this I enjoyed it.

Action packed

Good for teen readers

Fun Chacters

Characters never really seem in danger

Simple plot
