Connection Unknown

Builder's Legacy, Book 1

By: Michael Chatfield

Narrated by: Mikael Naramore

Luke Tavares has dreamed of joining the vast gaming guilds of the hypernet. After recently graduating high school, his parents have given him the same ultimatum as his siblings: He has one month to get a job to pay for his air, gravity, and water aboard the Dahlia.

The freighter needs more hands, but Luke doesn’t want to be a trader-ship engineer. In Sphere World, he can mine asteroids, build bots, and make weapons to fuel the system-wide war between nodes.

As a free player, it is his own credits on the line. But when his opponents are the very guilds that he wishes to join, he’s going to have to use every trick he knows to win.

What Military SF should be

This is what Military SF should be. Fast paced with plenty of action and strategy. Looking forward to finding out what happens next. Well written and very well performed. Worth the time and credit to listen.

Very good!

The author continues to solve military situations in very interesting ways. I found the book pacing to be slow in certain parts but never let me become disengaged. Can't wait to listen to the second book.

good find

I was surprised to find a book of such quality with so few reviews. it kept me engaged throughout even if the battle scenes were a bit drawn out, confusing, and often times unnecessary. for example, the author spent over an hour in a simulated battle that seemed to have no baring on the plot, was just used to throw in lots of action. all the comm chatter was confusing and distracting. but overall, creative tactics and interesting plot arc. ending was a bit predictable for me, but others might not have seen it coming. narration was great!

Worth the Credit

I'm excited to see what happens in the next book. if the blurb sounds good, then I recommend getting it.

I'm sorry but really tried to like it

I love Michael Chatfield and his 10 Realms series. they were sooo good. so I am baffled as to why this series was so bad.

bottom line is that the MC and his friends just fell super flat and un interesting. The game itself seems super boring and I cannot understand why anyone cares about it. There is nothing to it. it's just grinding for resources and capture the flag. that's it.

I tried for 10-12 chapters and then just gave up. maybe others who rated it 5 starts found something interesting in the later chapters but I just couldn't get into it.

miss Eric and Rugrat from the previous series. such cool characters. I'll pass this series
