Star Splinter

Fractured Space, Book 1

By: J.G. Cressey

Narrated by: Alex Wyndham

Lieutenant Callum Harper hadn't intended on punching his commanding officer quite so hard. But maybe it wasn't such a bad turn of events. Court-martialed and dumped on a reject raft bound for Earth, Cal feels optimistic about a life where getting blown up, shot, or even eaten is altogether less of a concern. And, more importantly, a life where the only person he's responsible for is himself.

Unfortunately fate doesn't favor the mundane. Crash-landing on a lethal planet, and with technology failing all around him, Cal must take his fellow passengers under his wing in order to survive and unravel the reasons behind their situation. But the cause is far worse than any of them could have imagined, for theirs is a small part of a much larger crisis. Colonized space is under attack. Humanity is on the verge of chaos. And those who enjoy such anarchy are already beginning to thrive. Yet Cal and his new companions will discover that mankind isn't the true threat, not by a long shot.

Good crew of characters and great story telling

Where does Star Splinter rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's up there. Star Splinter has the simplicity of a Heinlein book which is great because many sci fi authors tend to over do it of late.

What other book might you compare Star Splinter to and why?

Hard to say it stands alone

What does Alex Wyndham bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Great narration really let's my imagination relax and the world of Cresseu is created around me.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Did not cry. Laughed several times, if was a breath of fresh air in sci fi

Any additional comments?

Keep them coming!!!!!!!!!!!

Really enjoyed ☺

Couldn't wait for my free credit for the month to pick this book. listened in one go

Very entertaining

Of over 1,000 audio books I've purchased, I've given 5 star ratings to less than ten of them. Great imagery and plotting well delivered by a skilled voice artist. A good team that I hope continue to work together.

Hope another one is on its way

Great story line with an interesting cast of great characters. Hope another one is on its way

Everything you want in a good book

Any additional comments?

fantastic read. great narrative talent. !!!

Great Start

Absolutely loved this story & the narrator was fabulous. I’ve even added Alex Wyndham to my list of top Narrators. I even have a hard time not listening during Thanksgiving dinner and I’m looking forward to listening to the next book in the series.

Cal is a great main character. He finds himself booted out of the military and considering a life without responsibility for others, but of course, the universe has other plans for him. I love strong male figures with a heart, And the story really delivers. Along with his other military rejects, A badass Young military private female who relishes fighting, a tech guru and his synthetic human wife, and a reality game show star & surfer dude, and an old friend who is a big game hunter, they out wit a greedy casino owner and steal his fastest ship. They then begin their journey to rescue a planet full of enslaved military personnel. What else could you want in the military sci-fi drama!

Loved this book

A young student recommended this book to me and I loved it. I have recommended it to several kids and adults and they have all enjoyed the adventures of the crew of the Star Splinter. Just one question, when is the next book in the series coming out. I would so love to see what happens after Shattered Moon.

Ok J.G. Cressy, I'm ready for another.
