By: JJ Blacklocke

Narrated by: Kate Reading

Get the Tradepoint Saga Box Set, featuring all three books in the series. A lengthy space opera filled with political intrigue, mystery, and a diverse cast of characters!

Nine hundred Vennans undertake a cultural exchange to Tradepoint, a space station where aliens from different worlds meet to do business. A young and gifted Speaker, Gredin, is translator and diplomat for the happy occasion.

But a horrific vision shatters her first night’s sleep on Tradepoint. Venna, their homeworld, has been destroyed. Now, the safety of the delegation, the only Vennans left in all of time and space, rests on Gredin’s young shoulders.

Stunned and grieving, she navigates trade wars and political prejudice, bartering with other races - some friendly, some neutral, some outright hostile - for what her people need to survive. And the cost of failure is the unthinkable.

Fantastic

This was an absolutely fantastic selection of books. Once you start listening to the Narrator’s voice, you’ll be drawn into the story. Loved the characters and the plot was fast paced.

Mary Sue defined

I really gave this book a fair shot...getting through a lot of it, I am giving 4 stars, but was close to 3. If you don't know what a Mary Sue is, the main character in this book will define it pretty much, at least as far as I got. It was several redundant chapters of a young, scared girl on the verge of tears the whole time. It got old. Fast. A couple of interesting characters to be sure, but not enough to spend time with given the other nonsense going on. Too bad.

The first page of every sci-fi book...

Just as I started this saga, my daughter played something she found on the web about the first page of every sci-fi book. Blacklocke must have heard this and tried to top it, but even with all the unnecessary made-up words, I enjoy this trilogy much much and wanted it to go on for long long.

Everybody wants to rule the world

Too bad they don't have a world to rule, just shy of a thousand people.

I was given this audiobook for free and have voluntarily left this review.

AMAZING

I don’t usually enter reviews since I feel my personal bias would not be helpful. But the author and performer draws you in and cocoons you in the tale! Each character is developed so you “see” and “hear” and “experience” their importance and place in the story. Read or listen carefully to THIS three-book saga!! I promise you will FEEL yourself in some of the experiences herein.
