Starship Relic

Lost Colony Uprising, Book 1

De: Darcy Troy Paulin

Narrado por: DJ Holte

Ancient alien technology. Secret histories. And squids. In space.

Max is completing a survey in the barren, frozen north of planet Grailliyn, when he makes a startling discovery. There's a high-tech pod buried beneath the ice, and inside the pod is a young woman. She speaks his language, but with a strange accent.

The two are barely past awkward introductions when they are attacked. Max and his new friend are forced to flee. The worst part? They don't even know who is trying to kill them, or why.

Now, with assassins on their tail, the duo must find a way off the planet without blowing their cover. And then, if they can do that without getting eaten by space monsters, they might just find out the truth about their world.

Starship Relic is book one of the Lost Colony Uprising Trilogy, a sci-fi space opera adventure with spaceships, alien contact, deep conspiracies, wise-cracking characters, and lots of pew-pew (space battle action).

Content rating: all ages, teen and up. Minimal language.

great book!

loved it, the only thing I struggled a little with is how the MCs act with eachother. They seem more like young teenagers in many ways and towards one another rather than their true age. Like who says Barf? Lol! But... I just chalk it off to the culture of the society they are in and roll with it. I suppose it is possible that this is more of a young adult book. Regardless, I enjoyed it and I am eager for the next book.

Fun space opera!

I won this in a giveaway but wasn't sure about a sci-fi because I don't usually have the right kind of imagination for it. Am I ever glad that I was wrong! I had forgotten about space opera, and this author really knows how to do the world building well. I enjoyed the main characters (Snow and Max) and how well they interacted and made me laugh. And then there are the furry crabs, like the fun guy named Doozer! Good story!
DJ Holte does a wonderful job with all the voices and really acts out the story and not just read it with a voice that brings the characters to life with inflections entirely suited the situations and characters.

First People, First Rate!

Well Done!

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

I liked this book. It was strange and different compared to the usual books that I read (horror, thriller, fantasy, mystery). I wanted to branch out a bit and see if I could get into sci-fi and I was not disappointed by this book.

The narrator hit it out of the park and the author wrote an amazing storyline with great pacing.

Coming of age

In an icebound World a young man must make a journey to prove his worth by making a scientific survey. On this journey he finds something extraordinary. More extraordinary than his crab drawn sled trek through the wilds. His journey requires him to face hardships and exciting new adventure on land and at sea.

What will he discover while he proves his self.
