Errant Contact

Errant Contact, Book 1

By: T. Michael Ford

Narrated by: Greg Tremblay

A survey crew of the human starship Geoffrey Laird lands on a small, unexplored planet quaintly named Fleece as part of a standard scientific mission.

The planet looks benign, but a small mix-up with "hostile life-forms" has the three surviving members of the team on the run. Drik, Max, and Laree seek shelter in a small cave, completely cut off from their ship and communications. But it turns out the cave is anything but small.

Kodo, frozen in stasis for almost 1,000 years, awakens to find everything he knew is gone. His fellow crewmembers are dead, his ship is a wreck, and his homeworld is gone. Only one other member of the crew survives—Kalaya, the Aurora's synthetic organism. Now, on top of it all, humans are on his ship! Humans, the universe's newest addition to deep space-faring races and a complete embarrassment to the galactic community, are on his ship. Could this get any worse? Yes, it can.

Follow Kodo, Laree, and friends on their mission to escape Fleece and the human military eager to capture their ship. A mission filled with danger, laughter, spiteful hamsters, and sentient BLT sandwiches? Game show hosts? Space crickets?

This is a light science fiction novel; if you are looking for discussions on quantum theory, then this is not the book for you.

Great book, I enjoyed the story.

Maybe just a tiny bit predictable but altogether a good story. The characters to love and hate .

loved the fantasy!

I really got into the lives of each character. would like to hear a second book by both the author and narrators.

This was a funny and captivating story.

I can't wait to hear more! A fun sci-fi read that has all the elements of a story for this genre, without the hard to follow lingo.

excellent read

did not drag at all, had to listen for several hours a day when permitted

that was a fun book

interesting fun book a little sappy at heart but it kept my interest the entire time
