About this listen

He was born in a world that forgot the stars. Now he’s fighting to survive long enough to reach them. ZostaMax is a warrior who asked too many questions. His skepticism earned him the privilege of being a scapegoat, carving out a brutal life on a scorched, high-gravity planet where ancient bones and blood-red skies tell of forgotten legacies.

A victim of circumstances beyond his control, ZostaMax finds himself hunted, exiled, and alone in the killing sands. To survive, he must become more than a man. As ZostaMax grapples with ancient ruins, monstrous Balauri, and a truth buried beneath centuries of silence, he must learn faster than the desert can teach him to stay alive, and earn the approval of the dead, to save those who hate him. This is no ordinary sci-fi.

Altar of Scales is a gritty survival tale that grows into a sweeping, galaxy-spanning saga of identity, war, and evolution — perfect for fans of Orson Scott Card, John Scalzi, Tom Clancy and the raw art styles of vintage paperbacks and Frank Frazetta. The stars remember. Will he live long enough to remember them too?
