Star Force: Lost Destiny

Wayward Trilogy, Book 1

By: Aer-ki Jyr

Narrated by: Kristin James

What's it like to be the last Human?

And not even know you're Human?

Esna Donovan was stranded on a planet full of people that didn't look like her as a child along with her brother. Their father was murdered, leaving them sitting in their spaceship waiting for his return.

They remember almost nothing from before that time, when two Calavari who were business associates of their father took them in and told them they could never be seen outside their full body armor. They've honored their father's dying wish, living and working on the Calavari's farm while exploring the barren wastelands looking for bits of technological salvage from the time before the great cataclysm.

They don't know they're Human, just that they're different and they can't show their skin in pubic. The two siblings have lived almost their entire lives in their self-styled body armor and dream of leaving the farm and doing something that mattered...but there's nowhere to go. Nothing to do.

Then one day that all changes and Esna is set forth on a rollercoaster ride of a life she could never have expected when the word "Human" is once again spoken on the planet...only it's a word of rage and ear, with the local aliens trying to kill whoever it is applied to, though they've never seen one before.

Regardless, the word is tagged to her and she must run...with a little help.

It exceed my expectations

Instead of following the cookie cutter mold, Lost Destiny breaks away from the norm. The many different species introduced is refreshing, although there was a bit of Vegan propaganda I will admit made me laugh. there is also some pulling on your heart string to go with the brevity, I will look forward to hearing the other two books I hope Kristin James does those too, I don't think I could disassociate her voice from that world.
Now I also have to mention I received this copy in exchange for an unbiased review, and that is what you have.

It was fun

“I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author." Through AudiobookBoom

The story was interesting and I had fun listening to it, the only major problem I found was with the narrators handling of all those questions Esna had one after another after another, they sounded very similarly and it got on my nerves. But that just might be me.

Great start of a new sci fi series

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Although a little...preachy and dry... this is a great sci fi book. It's definitely the first book in a series, what with all the world building going on. The narrator is great too and helps bring the book to life. Looking forward to book 2

Imagine Luke Skywalker stranded with Old Ben...

While not bad, the content of the book was pretty dry. Imagine a movie where Luke skywalker (before having any control of the force) and old Ben were stranded for an entire movie on a planet. And most of the story was just them avoiding detection. I waited and waited for the story to sort of take off. But it really didn't' do that until the last 20 minutes.

Lots and lots of preaching against the eating of animals. and other preferential issues. Trying to make them ethical instead of just individual choices.

The narrator, Kristin James did an EXCELLENT job with the content. Her reading and inflection was wonderful. Her voices were well done and differentiated and captured the characters well. Without her work I would have never finished it.

I received a free copy of this audio book in exchange for my honest review.

Review “Star Force: Lost Destiny: Wayward Bk 1

This was a great book by Aer-ki Jyr. I liked the underlying teaching that was being given to the heroine by her rescuers. There was intrigue and action that kept the pace active and interesting. The performance by Kristin James gives us the feeling of each character and enjoyable to listen too, wonderful as always. I look forward to listening to the next in the series. I received this book in exchange for my review, and if you are wondering, “ yes I would purchase it, it’s that good”.
