My Hero

Starship for Sale, Book 8

De: M.R. Forbes

Narrado por: Dave Jackson

The race to find the most valuable resource in the galaxy is on.

No, it isn’t unobtainium, vibranium, adamantium, or eternium. And it isn’t a zouchem crystal, either (though that would be a nice pickup).

If Ben wants to prevent Duke Sedaya from gaining an iron grip on the Hegemony, his only hope lies in locating the missing Prince Hiro. Of course, it won’t be easy. And even if Ben can find him, it may already be too late.

Heroic proportions

A good continuation of a tireless hero’s quest to save the galaxy. Well performed with interesting new characters and races always just a click behind the ever evolving sinister plan to usurp the power structure.
An exciting listen with unique circumstances and challenging situations befalling our hero’s.

this is the last one I'm listening to

I have enjoyed the books in this series by MR forbes. character development is important to me and this book is good at that. the narration is great. took a while to get used to and learn to overlook the extreme violence. and it's also clear that the author puts 80% of his effort into writing gory action-filled fighting scenes.
Here's what you get when a 60 year old woman reads books written primarily for men. There's really only one nitpicky reason why I'm going to stop listening to these books out of sheer frustration. Doesn't Ben know how to carry around Gatorade or snacks? maybe some Raisins and Almonds in a baggie in his pocket? I mean really. why doesn't one of the female character suggested to him? he gets worn out because he needs food and he doesn't freaking even carry any around with him. also, the characters never stop to drink water. I can't stand it anymore it's so stupid. yeah go ahead and call me Rosanna Rosanna Danna.

It just keeps getting worse!

I’ve never wanted a hero in a story to die so bad! To much blah blah blah, and just disappointed at the drawn out story line!

I still like the idea of the story but too many plot holes.

I like the story but it seems with each book more and more plot holes are being exposed.

The series feels like a super hero universe. The first couple installments seem great, but as time goes on you realize how the story could’ve been over in just a couple pages.

the story is getting weak

8 books in, it's just getting old. land the plane already.

huge enemy presence. a new superpower to combat it. giant body count. enemy gets more angry. bigger enemy presence, newer superpower, bigger body count.

rinse and repeat.

this story hasn't advanced in a meaningful way in 3 books. I find myself falling asleep multiple times midbook...having to search around to find the last part I remember hearing to restart the story

I don't think I'll invest my time in the next installation.
