Summary

When you are old enough to finally become an Earth Mars citizen, everything should be perfect. Right? Not for Liam Hoffen. He's stuck on a mining asteroid called Colony 40, helping his father work a claim that is never going to pay out. His best friend, Nick James is set for life in James' Rental business and Liam just discovered that the girl he's known forever thinks he's pretty great and now she's leaving for the Mars Naval Academy.

Liam dreams of sailing the stars. Whenever he gets the chance, he jets into space and floats, wishing to be free of the asteroid that has claimed him. What he doesn't realize is that fate is about to change everything.

Sometimes you have to lose parts of yourself to gain the stars, and Liam discovers that while it isn't easy to literally lose parts of yourself to the pirates who attacked your home, gaining the stars is worth everything.

He and Nick are about to find out what the real world has to offer and they end up meeting exciting people along the way.

What a universe

I don't know how more people haven't listened to this one, in fact i don't know how i even found it.
The story in the first book is about how to start out from nothing on a outer system mining rock. How a main protagonist get his ship. There a 3 main character the push the plot with the lead being the Captain. There are plenty of developments of how these 3 get in way over there head. I kinda binged a whole through about 5 of the books in a few days, i was hocked on the story.

Easy on the Ear

This is one of those books that is really easy to listen to. It will not set the world alight, but, that said, it is a very enjoyable listen and well worth the credit. I will certainly be following this series.

Narration is good, which always helps to sell any audio book.
