Hachi + Araine // Awake

The Dream Series, Book 1

De: Michael G. Hurston

Narrado por: Sheryl Mebane

Hachi is an unstoppable Tau-born juggernaut on the battlefield with her golem Araine. The two wake up in a cryopod after a thousand-year sleep to find the world she knew is gone, and the others who came with her are nowhere to be found. Determined to find others like themselves, Hachi and Araine embark on their search, encountering a human scavenger named Sara, and a treasure hunt through space ensues.

While Hachi is confident in her abilities as a warrior, she is insecure and unsure of herself in social interactions. She is forced to deal with not only the loss of her own kind, but with people she doesn’t know, and more than she could have expected. Throughout their adventure, Hachi must confront her vulnerabilities, even as she battles against seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

With the help of Araine and Sara, Hachi must not only find others like herself but also discover the truth about the new world she finds herself in, regardless of what tragedies occurred and what may yet still befall them.

Lost memories make a mercenary's life challenging

Who is friend, who is foe, what side of the war were you on? These are just a few of the questions that Hachi must determine after awakening from a very long, disorienting stasis, for reasons as-yet unknown. What is known, is that Hachi is available for work to whomever has the credits to pay. With a trusted partner and a yearning for answers, we set out for planets and people both strange and full of mystery as the story unfolds and the cast of characters expands. Hachi's inner voice and steadfast dedication to their craft makes for several nail-biting adventures. Narration is excellent and often keeps you on the edge of your seat. Looking forward to book 2.
