Publisher's summary

First of My Kind is the story of Nathan Myers, a Missouri farm boy who, through a chain of events that happens halfway across the galaxy, finds his way from the seat of his Grandfather's tractor to the command of a starship from a lost super race.

Nathan will tell you in his own words about the life and death struggles he encounters on his journey. He will tell you about the humor, peril, and pain of his galactic education. Even with the help of an eccentric A.I. and the most unlikely of allies, he still finds it easy to lose his humanity to the horrors and injustice of a galaxy no one could have imagined.

Really great plot and…

Really great plot and character development! Looking forward to the rest of the series. This would make a great TV series! Thankfully there is very little foul language and no sex scenes! There are several close quarter combat scenes and although the author shares some pretty gruesome battles thankfully they are not overly grotesque… i do not watch or listen to blood and guts filled entertainment. So far this is an awesome adventure!

Good Start, but

It is pretty obvious that the author knows notjong of wolf behavior and interactions with humans at the start of the story. But he had to start the story with some action I suppose. Otherwise it's a fairly decent story, if not a bit simplistic.

MC is unrealistic

the story line is great, the supporting characters are well thought out, but the MC is poorly developed. you don't take a Farm boy with no world experience and turn him into a Military Commander with situational experience. implants and futuristic training i can get behind, that just gives you a killer soldier not an expert Commander. the MC goes from red neck to Gen Patton over night. No MC development at all. I say this because I grew up on a ranch in TX and join the Army as an Officer. it took years of training and combat deployments to realize what the Writer just throws out will nilly. there is so much story that the writer could have had if the time was taken.

Great start meh finish

The writing is decent and takes awhile to get going but it felt like the author tried to do too much. Still parts are engaging and entertaining but the last half felt like a bit of a slog. Author has potential and the book is a good plane trip listen. New narrator for me was very good.

First of my kind review

The main character was terrible!. Left humanity to fend for itself, in order to play hero in the galaxy.

Classic science fiction

Thoroughly enjoyed the “read.” Interesting characters, written in a style that evokes images in the listeners mind. Puts you in the action.
