A Menace Returned

It has been 1,000 years since the legendary pirate gang, the Shattered Suns, terrorized the galaxy. In that time, their exploits have faded into shadows and half-remembered ghosts.

Until now.

A Lone Survivor

Thomas Wayland is on a mission. The apparent lone survivor of a pirate attack, Thomas was left with no family, no friends, and only a single goal: find his family.

His main suspect?

The Shattered Suns.

A Forgotten Daughter

Jarissa Darneshii’s life has been turned upside down. Now an orphan after her family’s crime ring was taken over by the Shattered Suns, she’s determined to have her revenge -- even if she has to pull the stars down on her head to do it.

Her only problem?

She doesn’t know where to start.

A Galaxy in Danger

When the pair meet and form an uneasy alliance, they set out into the stars to find answers and justice. Along the way, they find help in the most unlikely places and learn that the Suns’ influence stretches further than anyone could have imagined – or feared. Suddenly, their individual quests morph into a race against time to save galactic society from total collapse.

Good stand alone sci-fi novel

It made me laugh. It made me think. It made me hide my tears as I listened to it at work during the last few chapters because okay, one of those deaths was predictable, but the others? HOW COULD YOU?! It was painful, but poetic.

Seeking answers requires asking correct questions

Thomas needs to know. It drives him in every waking moment. Consumes his every thought. Often clouds his judgement. How far will he go to get the answers he desires, and who will he have to trust (or betray) along the way? A space-faring story with moderately predictable outcomes is a delightful treat for your ears due to Aaron Waite's off-kilter narration and wildly varied character voices and vocal sound effects. While character development is shallow, the progression of our protagonist and the situations he encounters along the way will keep you interested and seeking the answers in-pace with the rag-tag party. If you pay attention, each chapter might bright forth hints of another book or movie you've previously enjoyed. [Disclosure: I received this title for free and listened at 1.75x.]
