Reviewed: 04-05-24
The author combines piracy from the days of sale with a space opera in his. Overall poor writing ability makes the storyline just not very good. There were too many inconsistencies in the way the story is told that just makes the entire storyline not very good I would not recommend this series of books to anyone. Good luck with it.

Earth becomes too hot for Jake Bayard. Too many shape-shifting aliens and people, including those on his own side, are trying to capture him in order to use his star-traveling abilities for their own greedy ends. Bayard flees to Kaldar, a world devastated by atomic war and lousy with mutated rat-men and the Dark Brotherhood. At first, he’s just trying to stay alive. Then, he uncovers a mystery, one that, incredible as it seems, reaches all the way back to Earth. It could mean the alien enslavement of everyone, which means that Bayard is fighting for more than just his own survival.

Story is great, narration not so much,
Reviewed: 12-10-23
I felt that the story was great but the narrator lacked the ability to do justice to the author. I feel that it would be better if they had a better story teller how could change up his voice more for the different characters and add feelings to the story. Other than that I liked the story.
