About this listen

Lt. Zade, on his last days of his last deployment to Afghanistan, still couldn't find the excitement he so desperately needed.

A chance encounter, on his last mission, sends him hurtling through space on the Unity exploration ship XES01. Surrounded by aliens, Zade must quickly learn to interact with the non-soldiers on the crew.

As he tries to earn his place amongst the ship, Zade's combat prowess quickly earns him a spot as the security officer of the ship. A seat left vacant because of a fatal exchange between the former security officer and the wildlife of a far planet. As Zade begins living the adrenaline filled life of a space explorer, he has to ask himself some very important questions.

How does he get back to earth? Does he even want to?

I started this title not knowing how it would be. It was included in the plus catalogue but am thoroughly pleased. I had already bought the second instalment before this story was finished. Highly recommended, enjoy.

Great adventure

Human warrior accidentally picked up by exploring alien conglomerate, add nanites and good luck and he is the barbarian saviour of the galaxy, its been done many times before and done very well but this is the most fun and technical without getting too bogged down in personal drama although the hero is suitably sexy and principled and Michael Braun is so easy to listen to. You don't hear his voice, you just hear the story.
The last line of this book has me ordering the next...

Loved it!

Soo many authors have tried to write in this space and unfortunately melded into the same story, this is different, well thought out with developing characters and engaging storyline, overall it was enjoyable, highly recommend.

Enjoyed the whole audiobook to the extent I’ve purchased book 2 and soon 3
I think the only issue I had was Zade’s character being mulish and prone to extreme temper blowouts. Made it rather overbearing at times and hard to like.
Regardless I did enjoy this and would recommend to others who enjoy space militarily books 👍
