About this listen

Captain Maddox is marooned on a harsh alien planet 6000 light years from Earth. He struggles alone, desperate to survive, knowing that failure will forever cost him his wife and daughter.

But there’s more at stake than Maddox’s life. In the planet is a relic of unimaginable power and the secret to the Builders’ demise. The Mastermind has sent Iris, his human lover, and a team of intelligent canine killers, to retrieve the relic for his greatness.

Here, in a strangely dampened star system, the crew of Victory faces its cruelest challenge, battling entities thousands of years old to end a war begun long ago.

The Lost Relic is book 17 in the Lost Starship series, a star-spanning saga of deadly space war and planetary struggles as told by millions-best-selling author Vaughn Heppner.

it is hard to have enjoyed a series so much only to find the more recent books a difficult pill to take. the story is getting weaker, and although I follow no religion and respect peoples beliefs as their own, this is getting heavy handed. I hope the series picks up to a real ending, the next book will tell if it's worth continuing or has been wasted investment of money and time.

not to my taste, others may have a different opinion and that's fine, but from reading the ckmme the recently it seems others feel it's going down hill and fast.

I hope for a brighter future for this series and a strong end as it really does need to end.

so disappointed. if it continues down this line I will stop

The last couple of books have had an increasing undercurrent of religiousness, which is in stark contrast to the earlier works in the series. This seems to have increased in proportion to the decrease in the story development. I have not decided if I will continue on to the end of the series or if I will read any other books by this author.

diminishing impact
