When Van Tudor returns to his childhood home, he inherits more than the family farm.

His grandfather used to tell him fantastic stories of spacemen and monsters, princesses and galactic knights. Little did Van realize, the old man's tales were more than fiction; they were real.

Hidden beneath the old barn, Van’s legacy is waiting: a starship, not of this world. With his combat AI, an android bird named Perry, Van takes his first steps into the wider galaxy. He soon finds that space is far busier and more dangerous than he could have ever conceived.

Destiny is calling. His grandfather's legacy awaits.

Really a great start, well crafted and narrated.

First of all, there are so many formulaic works of fiction out there that can be called Science Fiction. But this is really refreshing.

Story develops at a good pace, not too fast, not too slow, the AI supporting characters are well thought and unique. A robot bird??? But, I LIKE IT!! oops, see now, I’ve gone and capitalized that. But if you want to have a nice unique story which appears to have sequels, give it a go!

Country living is awesome!!

The sorrowful loss of Van 's grandfather he inherits his farm. But the farm is not the focus here, it's the barn. When Van pushes the button the story begins. Lots of adventures and new friendships.
Very beautiful story. Awesome narration as well.

Not Epic, But Damn Good Fun

Any book that can make me laugh out loud or shed a tear is A plus on my list.
Caught myself laughing many times. Not what I would call "Epic", but if you want a fun story and some good fun go for it.
Kafer is perfect person for this books narration, he hits the notes just right.

great sci Fi space adventure.

looking forward to the continuation of the series. pre-ordered book 2 before even finishing book 1

Fun science fiction.

I enjoyed this book despite myself. It if not great science fiction, nor does it qualify as hard science fiction, although the attempt was there. But I really enjoyed it, the AI characters and the human characters. The plot is at times disjointed and motivations are poorly presented, but who cares. Enjoy.
