Publisher's summary

Mercury rising, Mercury resurgent!

While on a routine deep-space mission to chart the frontier of unknown space, the starship Mercury stumbles across quite a mystery. How had the Kilgary–a cargo carrier last seen lightyears away 40 years before, reached that part of space before the Mercury? Why couldn’t the cause of death of its crew be determined? What was in the deleted log entry of the Kilgary, and more importantly, why had it been deleted?

The last thing Captain Stuart Flane expected while working to solve the enigma of the Kilgary was a day-long running battle with the undead! Their troubles didn’t end there though, because the Mercury, their only ride home, was also in trouble!

Of all the starships in the Terran Space Fleet, the I.S.S. Mercury is probably the unluckiest ship in history! Not once, not twice, but many times over, the same hapless crew–give or take a few dozen casualties, on a supposed voyage of deep space exploration, stumble into the weird, wake the creepy, and trip over the downright terrifying and possibly even supernatural.

Would have been better with a different narrator.

Who thought it would be a good idea to have their sleepy grandmother narrate this book? I couldn't even finish. Every character had the same voice, slurred speech, and monotone delivery. The story may be great, but it is just a slog to listen to. I'm sorry but I couldn't make it through.

F'ing Fantastic

I loved this book. It is scifi, action, space, everything. Can't wait to listen to the next book in the series.

Quite possibly the worst narrator I have ever hear

Take a bad narrator. Strip them of all emotion. Fill their mouth with marbles. You might get close to how bad this reading is.
