this is basically a harem

As I stated, this is a harem. If I knew that I wouldn't have bought it. I just wished authors would put a disclaimer for this type of stuff, especially when its scifi.

Awfully Disappointed With Narrator

I liked the story line, but am so distracted and annoyed and disappointed with the narrator, I'm bailing 25% of the way through. Let me explain: I listened to, and liked her voice in the preview, but once the tale got underway, it was clear that she doesn't have the skill to pull off, even somewhat believably, the voices of a multitude characters...they all sounded like, well, like her! It's distracting at best, and very annoying the rest of the time.

Would fit nicely in the William D. Arand universe

First off, NOT a harem. Not really sure why people are saying it is. There is only one scene where it's even hinted that one of the women may like him. Even then there is ZERO romance anywhere in this book.



Other than that it's good, not great. Narrator doesn't have many voices she can do, but at least she's expressive enough to communicate sarcasm. Heaven knows where her career would go if she wasn't.



Anyway, the MC pretty much hits all the beats William would have. Sarcastic yet likeable fool who it utterly ruthless with enemies, yet generous to fault with those he deem 'his' people. Pretty much just "Super Sales on Super Hero's" but in space and with technology instead of magic. Would be completely unsurprised if a portal open in book to two see his two lost brother or something. Though I will say it's not as well done.

Protagonist felt forced

This was an okay story, but there were several points where it felt unbelievable, as far as how he acted. Not to mention apparently no one can recognize when a ship with capabilities that give it a huge advantage takes no action to hide them. Tthere were plot holes that could have been taken care of with a singe sentence in each case.

fantastic space Opera

a fantastic adventure that takes the reader on a pulse pounding ride through space. The characters are a rough and tumble bunch that you begin to root for. I can't wait until the next one is released.

I love the book

Wonderful story. The narrator was a bit dry and lacking emotion. The story itself was wonderful and I have reread it many times. I misplaced my Kindle so decided to download the audio book. I was a little disappointed.

Exciting

Love the characters the narration was excellent.
Looking forward to the next book. Please don’t take long.

its a group of books worth reading

this isnt a Harem!! that person is just being a misogynist, the majority of characters in power are female, it is refreshing!
the series is light reading, and a good story, worth your time and credits

I was looking for a new series and I found it!

I was looking for a new Sci-Fi series, and I found it. The setting for the story gets you to "see" what is happening in each moment, and the universal details are perfectly brought together. This series takes what I like best and find plausible in other series and adds this to this universe. What I also like is the value of time in this book. I consider anything over 10 hours to be a decent book, and this one clocks in at over 13! THANK YOU for that value!

Local boy makes good.

First of all I love a good space opera and this is definitely one of those.
Tia Ridera just nails the story in her narration. A very enjoyable listen.
Kerns wrote an excellent story that leads the reader or listener or both if one has the proper kindle app, to a satisfying evening of reading listening enjoyment.
In point of fact I just bought book two (till it's over) from Audible. I will also be purchasing all four of the kindle books. in the series.
