Space Junk

A Military Sci-Fi Series (Waymaker Wars, Book 1)

By: Rachel Aukes

Narrated by: Scott Aiello

Captain Jack Hale and his crew of ragtag scavengers live by a code. They do the job, get paid, and keep their heads down.

Salvaging a distant section of the asteroid belt seemed like the perfect job. But when he and his crew stumble across a mining camp filled with dead bodies, their plans for a quick payday quickly go out the airlock. Especially when they find a scared little girl who knows the truth about the massacre.

When Captain Hale refuses to turn over the survivor to those behind the slaughter, he and his crew become outlaws. Fugitives in a system controlled by an alien AI.

The odds are against him, but Captain Hale has an ace up his sleeve, or rather, in his blood. The secret might just give him an edge to beat Sol Corps at their own game, though exposing it will draw out an old and even more dangerous enemy.

The sins of his past may just be what saves the future for all mankind.

It's Harlock: Space Pirate meets The Expanse in this pulse-pounding military sci-fi series from Rachel Aukes, the best-selling author of Black Sheep, Rebel's Run, and 100 Days in Deadland.

Rip Roaring Fun

I really liked the characters in this book and I can't wait to see what trouble they can get up too next!

Space Junk

Good story with some interesting twists. It took a while to grab me. Part of the distraction for me was the female character voices were to accept.

No Agenda Detected

Getting hard to find sci-fi/fantasy lately that doesn’t pit women against men with women outsmarting, outfighting and saving the world from brutish men. This book just has a great story, it’s fun, imaginative and creative. I don’t want to get out of my car at end of the day and have to wait till tomorrow to continue listening. Thank you for a fantastic story with no agenda!

Great job as always. I just love Rachel Aukes stories

Scott Aiello is outstanding performing every character so realistically that one thinks you are actually there. He is one of the best narrators today.
I have read or listened to Rachel stories for years. I’m never disappointed. I really like character /military driven style. These characters are great.

Good storyline

Really helpful to escape reality for a short while. I really hate this new requirement from audible to write reviews.

Great story!!

Creative, gripping, and suspenseful…with just the right amount of human nature sprinkled in to make it both enjoyable and believable.

Voice narration was top drawer. I appreciate, respect, and am jealous of his skill. Thank you for a job well done.

Well read with good storyline. Makes you want to follow the lives of the crew.

There's a few holes in the story, but nothing to disorienting. It didn't disrupt the flow of the story.

Plot twists 2.0

Rather riveting story but characters overlook obvious weird aspects and supposed plot twists are telegraphed. Ending was less “Ah-ha” and more “Huh?” This story ended and not seeing a pickup for book 2.

Great story

Interesting take on Ai. What would you do with a extra long life? What Great things could you achieve?

Fun sci-fi with a twist

The story has good likable characters. The story is easy to follow and not overly complicated.
