Station Breaker

Station Breaker Series, Book 1

By: Andrew Mayne

Narrated by: Kyle McCarley

If space doesn't kill David Dixon, Earth will.

Astronaut David Dixon's first mission to space goes horribly awry when a gunfight breaks out on a Russian space station. He finds himself making an emergency landing from orbit and becomes the most wanted man on Earth. Desperate to unravel the plot he's found himself in, he takes his pursuers on a wild chase from space to the backstreets of Rio and beyond. Dixon's survival relies on his skills as a pilot and willingness to do whatever it takes, from crashing a passenger jet into the Mexican desert to pulling off an incredible heist in Low Earth Orbit.

Amazing once again

All of Andrew Mayne's books are great and this one did not disappoint! It's the Martian but in space and instead of the world wanting to bring Mark home they want him executed as a terrorist. The action and "I can't wait to hear what happens next" were Non-Stop. <>

Profiling realistic sci-tech but with adult bits

The story starts a bit slow with scenes that allow one to get a little bit familiar with the protagonist and his insecurities. His cleverness at managing the subsequent challenges reminds one of "The Martian" but with a bit more violence and adult banter. Some parts of the story were a bit unbelievable but the main character was endearing--seeming more superhuman as the story went on. The performance was good with great voice changes for characters. It also helps to know a little Spanish or Portuguese for this one!

I did not like the narration

The book was great, but unfortunately the narrator delivers every single line with a sneering smugness that becomes unbearable after the first hour.

Fun Sci-FI

A fun sci-fi mystery. Entertaining and enjoyable. Maybe plausible. The narrator does a great job. Andrew does a good job keeping the number of characters limited so you quickly get to know them. Looking for forward to book 2.

pleasant way to pass the time

The story seems quite far-fetched and the somewhat sarcastic style of the story/narrator is a little off-putting but somehow it seems to work.
