Publisher's summary

What would you do if you found a spaceship? Would you call the government, would you pretend you never saw it, or would you keep it a secret? What would you do with it? Use it to gallivant around the galaxy, conquer Earth, get filthy rich, or try to improve life on Earth? Listen along and find out how Marc works to convert Earth into a spacefaring world capable of defending itself and of being united as it meets the other civilizations in the galaxy. He and his brother start planning their next steps, but the one they don’t know how to prepare for is the arrival of Marc’s 12-year-old daughter. She comes to spend the summer with her father. She’s very smart and extremely curious.

Marc and his crew need to accomplish all this without tipping off the US government and before the Paraxeans come looking for their spaceship. But they have help, the ship’s AI is on their side, and she’s smart.

Starship Sakira is the first book in the exciting new adventure series Delphi in Space.

Every kids dream come true! To save the world...

This book starts off with a phenomenal plot and perspective, brothers are thrust into the most important position in human history, they can either squander it or save the world, and they choose to save the world, it brings to the forefront, every adults most impassioned dreams that were dreamt as children, it was a pleasure to read, I love Addie, the whole book really puts some intriguing concepts into ones head, so cool, well done, bravo!

Hook line and sinker

This book hooked me fast, love it, this is shaping up to be a good series

I’m not sure?

I almost returned this book after the first thirty minute but got a phone call and was distracted for a couple of hours before starting again. I’m not sure if my issue is with the narrator or the simply some of the dialogue. However, I finally got interested and look forward to the next book.

Fun story, poor narration.

This is a fun, sci-fi story, but the narration really detracts from being able to enjoy it! Most of it is not far from being a monotone. I will probably listen to the other books, but not right away, I guess just hoping they would change narrators to someone better.

Great story. Already started book 2.

Excellent book. I love the story and the plot, but the narrator is horrible. Very flat. No pause between paragraphs or even chapters. But I am loving the book so I am going to push through it and keep going with the next book. I hope they find someone to re-narrate these books.

Dont you dare miss out. This a great book Enjoy.

listened to it straight thru, dont miss out this is a great story but a copy.

Fortune of being true

A genius except his brother is found by a first contact space ship!! Pass a test and Commision to save his planet from a future invading force!!!

Needs a narrator

The story is an enjoyable light read for most sci-fy fans. However, the author needs to find a narrator who actually knows how to do the job. I’m usually more forgiving of narrators than this, but she sounds worse then a 10 year old reading Dr Souse. All the characters have the exact same voice. The only accent tried (and utterly failed at) was the Russian spy in book 2, all others use a Canadian/central northwestern accent... even though they are in Hawaii, Portugal, Florida, the Caribbean, and the Cook Islands. Oh, and the main characters are from Boston, one of the more distinctive accents in the US. Often, never mind differentiating between characters, there is no difference between dialogue and narration.

A great start in this series.

A very calm sounding AI computer. A very careful Capton and his brother. The starship is well armed with wepons and knowledge. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Great Start B.

It's a good story, but the reader needs to change her acting voice a lot more. The AI is getting more human so less computer. Overall though it's a good good start. Can't wait for Delph City.
