About this listen
"Failure is not an option."
Sixteen-year-old Zachariah Aurelian dreams of joining the prestigious Earth Alliance Fleet Academy, where only the most elite cadets earn a place among the stars. Armed with his unyielding determination and his clever AI companion, Giles, Zach is prepared to tackle the Academy's grueling entrance exams. But the path to Fleet Command is anything but smooth. Simulated space battles push his skills to the breaking point.
Political tensions between Earth and the Independent Colony Worlds threaten to spark another war. And the mystery surrounding his mother’s disappearance—a hero lost in the last war—haunts his every step, driving him to prove her legacy and uncover the truth.
In this high-stakes YA space opera, Zach’s journey weaves together personal resilience, intense competition, and the thrill of adventure against the vast backdrop of a galaxy on the brink of chaos.
With echoes of Ender’s Game, Skyward, and Aurora Rising, Academy Bound delivers a thrilling blend of heart, action, and ambition, perfect for listeners who crave emotionally charged, character-driven science fiction.
Will Zach conquer the odds, find the answers he’s seeking, and prove he’s ready to lead? The stars are waiting.
