Inherited Revenge

De: James Haddock

Narrado por: Daniel Wisniewski

Chuck, a 15-year-old hardened war orphan has seen friends killed, and now lies dying on a salvage battlefield himself. But the universe has a different plan for Chuck. A mortally wounded man offers to save his life, and Chuck accepts his help. A moment later, Chuck regrets his decision, when his rescuer forces Chuck’s mouth open and a reptilian octopus is ejected from his rescuer’s mouth and into his.

Because of Chuck’s symbiote, Tom’s desire for revenge, Chuck finds himself drawn into a shadow war with an alien race. Chuck must hide from the aliens, because they would rather burn the planet to a cinder than let Tom escape. He must also hide from the government, because they want Tom’s knowledge of advanced tech and will do anything to get it.

Chuck has a few advantages: Tom’s DNA has mixed with his, giving him access to genetic memories; Tom’s race is aquatic, which gives Chuck the ability to breathe underwater; and no one knows Tom is a symbiote, so no one is actually looking for Chuck.

Chuck is content to hide in plain sight as a salvager, until someone kills his new family while trying to kill him. Now all bets are off as Chuck is on a search-and-destroy mission looking for those responsible. He uses every piece of war salvage he must to find and kill them. Inherited revenge or not, revenge will be had.

A commanding character

Technical data preciseness and attention to detail ,
It kept me into the story, great book.

great listen

great book loved the characters hope there will be a part 2 much better Ai book than others

Maybe a prequel would be good for this story.

I wonder about writer's that give their main character all the advantages, all the power, all the magic?
The story felt rushed, I like Haddock's other magic stories, but this seemed like 20 years footnoted into 6 months.

Good story with sad ending.

This was an excellent story sometimes fast pace, sometimes slow, but overall not bad. It did, however, have a sad ending, but that in itself was very realistic.

Not a fan of the ending but...

fits right in with the rest of his books. has the OP main character who has some major trauma at the beginning and procedes to snowball into a near demigod.

Too Much Going On

I’ve read all of his work, and this has a great premise, but his reach exceeded his grasp. Everything in this book should’ve been in at least two books, if not three. It just felt like he was trying to do too much in just one novel. Great, fun idea, though.

Started really strong the lost it’s way

This is a book that started so strongly that I wanted to love it but went so far afield randomly that I do not know what to say. I got lost when thespian octopus thing crawled down the MC throat as the entire story changed from something excellent to something I didn’t want to read snymore
