Conviction

Scattered Stars: Conviction, Book 1

By: Glynn Stewart

Narrated by: Teri Schnaubelt

A starfighter squadron driven to desertion. Hunted by friends and enemies alike. With one final hope for a new beginning.

The last reward Kira Demirci expected for heroism in a time of war was to spend the rest of her life dodging assassins - but when her government betrays her as part of their surrender, she and her comrades flee the star system of Apollo to the edge of civilized space.

The Syntactic Cluster is disorganized, disunified, and in desperate need of the nova fighters Kira smuggled out of Apollo with her. With an entire squadron supposed to follow in her wake, it falls to her to build a new home for her comrades.

But their enemy's reach may be longer than her worst nightmares - and even her new friends may not be all that they appear....

Good start

Solid and engaging story, excellent performance by the narrator, good book.

I always enjoy how the author explores different settings and situations while still keeping his different series unique and interesting.

I wanted to like it and I do....some.

This really seemed like a 3 chapter prequel stretched to be a full length novel. It’s a good story just stretched like the author had to make a word count.

The dialogue was clunky. But the characters were interesting. While I don’t think this was the author’s best work, I like the direction he is heading.

I will continue the series, or at least one more.

I get the feeling the next one will be a lot better.

It’s better after you read

This is the second time - read it first
Now listening I enjoyed it on to next

Decent story and listen

I think this will be an interesting series. But, some of the writing is basic. Good story but basic writing and the start that got better as the book went on.

Outstanding!

The characters and story crafting are amazing. I loved the twists the turns the victories the tragedies it was all just wonderful. can't wait to grab the next book in the series.

Starting another great series by Glynn Stewart.

I'm happy to be starting another great series by Glynn Stewart. As always the characters and action are great... the real surprise here is the great homage to Isaac Asimov's Foundation books. I'll let you find it on your own, but it was a fun Easter Egg in another excellent book.

I found it gripping

The world building felt solid for this new series. I didn't feel like new details were constantly flying around. The pace was steady and the narrator is good.

When does book 2 come out?

Teri Schnaubelt is an outstanding narrator and this story has battles along with crew changes.

It didn’t keep my attention

It started off very interesting but it didn’t keep me wanting more. I really like the author’s past series but I don’t know if I’ll continue with book 2.

A good start for a new series in a large universe

One of the author's goal was to create a setting large enough to encompass a series of situations and technological levels. While the terminology and usage is at times hard to follow, this story is more than able to reach and grab you and your imagination. First time for Terii Schnaubelt narration, but was pleasant surprised by her range and ability to handle the wide array of situation and individuals.
