About this listen

Abducted by aliens. Frozen for decades.

Charlie Travers figures his life can’t get much worse. He lives over a pizza restaurant, he’s lost his girlfriend, and has no prospects for a career.

Then, he’s abducted by an alien robot and taken across the galaxy. When he wakes up, he finds himself stranded thousands of light-years away and about to be killed by space pirates.

Charlie’s only hope of getting through this is learning to work with his fellow abductees: a green-skinned warrior woman, a feathered con man who is just as likely to steal their starship as he is to save them, and a cyborg insectoid pilot who could rip a man apart with ease—if he wasn’t a strict pacifist.

To make matters worse, they were abducted for a reason—one that aims to change the course of the galaxy forever.

It was an okay start. A bit lightweight but still a good story. I hope the next one is a bit longer.

Not bad.

Wasn’t sure what to expect but was a good storyline. Not too unbelievable or excessive drama for drama sake. Main characters still need more development/backstories, but for book one is good.

Interesting storyline

I normally love Chaney and Partlow novels. I couldn’t finish this one and quit with two hours remaining. Very juvenile story.

This book is for middle schoolers

Such a refreshing take on this type of sci-fi time travel story! Not what I expected, in a really good way!

Well thought-out story line!

Good story, well thought out characters, and the plot was a little weak, but I did enjoy it.

I enjoyed listening.

Human gets picked up and ends up in space. Wakes up after hyper sleep. Book explains how MC can understand other aliens but not how he’s breathing their atmosphere. Also not why most aliens are sorta all kinda humanoid, although MC does wonder about it himself. MC is not overwhelmingly interesting, and other aliens are more so. Will not continue the series tho as it seems a little immature in the writing.

Just ok

I don’t like the main character. He is dumb. That turned me off in chapter 3 or 4. Ch 1 had no foreshadowing to get me hooked. By the time the big action happens, the descriptions fell short. The author has done much better with other books. Try the Dimension series, slow but great!

OK, if you have nothing else.

I’m a big fan of these authors but I wasn’t sure what to expect with a new series. It did not disappoint.
It started a bit slow , but once the characters started to develop I really enjoyed it.
Plenty of action and humor and done really interesting characters. Loved the story itself snd can’t wait to see what’s gonna to happen next!

I’m gonna enjoy this series!
